Healthy Snacks for Busy Adults

Baked Sweet Potato Fries

This vitamin A-rich snack is a healthy-kid favorite, but there’s no reason you can’t also enjoy this Parenting recipe: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut four sweet potatoes into 1-inch-wide wedges, place flesh-side down on a roasting pan, then brush with a mixture of 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Cook, turning once, for 20-25 minutes. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon kosher salt.

Crispy Kale Chips

This unbelievable source of vitamins K, A, and C may become your new go-to late-afternoon snack. Place 1 large bunch raw kale leaves, stems removed, on a cookie sheet, then drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes.

Chocolate Drizzled Fruit Kabobs Skewers

SIMPLE and EASY, 1 strawberry, 2 blueberries, 1 piece each kiwi, cantaloupe, pineapple, and then drizzle with 1 teaspoon Waldon Farms chocolate syrup for a fruit dessert that quenches a chocolate and sweet craving!

Banana Oatmeal Walnut Cookies

These cookies are a great source of heart-healthy whole grains, good fats, and potassium. Combine 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed, 1 cup uncooked quick oats in a bowl, then fold in ¼ cup crushed walnuts. Place tablespoon-sized scoops on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes in a 350-degree oven.

Yogurt Dunked Berries

Use a toothpick to dunk individual blueberries one at a time into a container of Greek yogurt; a second toothpick helps push the berry off onto a baking sheet. Freeze for one hour, and store any leftovers in the freezer

Tasty Tapas

Stuff mini whole wheat pitas (about 2 inches in diameter) with different tastes, such as salsa; cashew butter; low-fat cheese; or hummus with cucumber and tomato, or any other healthy concoction you can think of.
