Hummus is our #1, with veggies. We like to pan fry some chicken strips in coconut oil and eat them cold and we always have cooked quinoa to add stuff to.

I keep gogurts (or better yet, greek yogurt tubes) in the freezer during the summer. That way, the kids can have that as a cool snack on hot afternoons. I feel better that instead of an otter pop or popsicle, they’re having something with a little more nutritional value.

I’ve been baking these Peanut Jam Blondies and eating them straight from the freezer:

But when I don’t have time for that, I literally take a spoonful of jam and put roasted peanuts on top. DONE.

I have been making the bananas with peanut butter dipped in chocolate and frozen bites! Great on 100* hot days in the desert!

Cut watermelon into 1″ cubes, top with chopped fresh mint leaves and a little feta cheese. Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil, and sprinkle with toasted pepitas. Elegant and refreshing!

Homemade almond crackers sound delicious! Do you have a link to the recipe you use?

Our summer snacks are usually fresh fruit with plain yogurt or cottage cheese, homemade popsicles, or a few cinnamon-sugar coated almonds.

With a garden of herbs, fresh fruits and vegetables which are generally consumed by my family on a daily basis. We especially enjoy fresh fruits whether I incorporate them in a salad or dessert cup. Smoothies are fun! I keep things changed up from day to day. No particular snack in mind. I use frozen yogurt quite a lot, yogurt in general in many recipes. I am afraid I am not much help am I? In Florida we have to keep hydrated, so different beverages are made fresh daily. I only use purified bottled water! Keep on Cooking-Y’all!!! CLW.
