Quell any snack attacks with homemade versions that still hit the spot (and cost less, too!). We’re upgrading our prepackaged snacks and swapping in healthy(ish) make-ahead munchies like whole-wheat chocolate chip cookies and homemade fruit gummies to stave off those hangry feelings for good.
DIY Protein Box
Find yourself in the Starbucks drive-thru line more often than you’d like to admit for a last-minute snack? Make their popular protein packs yourself with this easy-to-follow formula from Platings + Pairings for just a fraction of the cost.
Homemade Cheeze-Its
Really, is there any snack more addictive than Cheez-Its? We especially love how easy and economical it is to make these copycat crackers from Don’t Waste the Crumbs. Eat them as is or bake with some of the suggested mix-ins, like cayenne, rosemary, or thyme.
Healthy Homemade Fruit Snacks
For an afternoon snack kids and grown-ups can agree on, we love these simple homemade fruit gummies from Dessert for Two. They’re not just fun to pop in your mouth, they sneak in healthy veggies like carrots and beets.
Whole-Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies
A wholesome variation on the classic chocolate chip cookie, this whole-wheat version from Kim Boyce’s award-winning cookbook Good to the Grain and shared by Bake It Write is one of our very favorite afternoon treats. Use an ultra-dark chocolate for a truly grown-up spin.
Cinnamon Roll Granola Bars
These super-simple, cinnamon-spiced granola bars by The Vegan 8 make both an easy grab-and-go breakfast and a tasty midafternoon snack. Plus, because they’re vegan and gluten-free, this snack-friendly option accommodates dietary restrictions of all sorts.
