These Healthy Snacks in jars have been game changers in my kitchen, and I know you'll feel the same way! Prep your fridge with these 10 easy snack ideas with fruits and vegetables!

10 Healthy Make-Ahead Snacks

Cauliflower and broccoli + greek yogurt ranch dip

Cottage cheese + fruit (I used mango, though I love pineapple and oranges too)

Greek yogurt and berries/pomegranate + granola

+ cheese cubes

Cucumber + date balls or oatmeal energy bites

peanut butter

Grapes + roasted chickpeas

Mandarin orange + pistachios

Apple slices + dark chocolate and nuts

Bell peppers and carrots + hummus

Wash and cut up your cauliflower and broccoli into small florets. Fill the mason jar about 2/3 of the way full with your vegetables. Add some Greek yogurt ranch dip to the fruit cup (great time to measure and use portion control if you are prepping for weight loss), add the ranch dip in a cup to the mason jar, screw on a lid, and place in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Measure out a serving of cottage cheese and add it to the mason jar. Fill the fruit cup with fruit of your choice (mango, pineapple, mandarin oranges, berries, and even cherry tomatoes are all good). Add the fruit in a cup to the mason jar, screw on a lid, and place in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you are ready to eat, add the fruit to the cottage cheese and enjoy.

Place a serving of Greek yogurt in the mason jar and top with your choices of berries (fresh or frozen) and/or pomegranate seeds (arils). Add some granola to the fruit cup (this is my favorite healthy granola recipe). Place the granola filled cup in the mason jar, screw on a lid, and place in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you are ready to eat, add the granola to the yogurt and enjoy.

Prep the apples by slicing/coring them and dipping them in something so that they don&#8217;t turn brown. You can dip apples in a little bit of lemon juice, Fruit Fresh (it&#8217;s absorbic acid), or even a bit of orange juice. Place apples in the bottom of the mason jar. Fill a fruit cup with a serving of cheese cubes. Place the cheese cube filled cup in the mason jar, screw on the lid, and place in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Prep your cucumber by washing it and slicing it into rounds or spears. Place cucumber in the bottom of the mason jar and fill the fruit cup with a date ball or oatmeal energy bite (or two). Place the &#8220;bite&#8221; filled cup in the mason jar, screw on the lid, and place in the fridge for up to 3 days. Cucumbers, especially cut ones, don&#8217;t last as long as other more firm vegetables. Plan to eat these at the beginning of the week. Here are some of my favorite date ball recipes and I have lots of oatmeal energy bites coming your way!

Prep your celery by washing, trimming, and cutting it into sticks. Cut the sticks short (about 2.5 inches long) so that they fit in the mason jar and you still have room to add your cup of peanut butter. Place the celery in the bottom of the mason jar and fill a fruit cup with a serving of peanut butter. Place the peanut butter filled cup in the mason jar, screw on a lid, and place in the fridge for up to a week. Celery lasts a really long time like this!

Prep the grapes by washing them and taking the grapes off of the stem. Fill a mason jar 2/3 of the way full with grapes. Fill a fruit cup with roasted chickpeas (recipe coming soon! They are so good!). Place the roasted chickpea filled cup in the mason jar, screw on a lid, and place in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Peel and segment a mandarin orange (or other small citrus fruit) and put the pieces in the jar, or, if it is small enough, pop the whole fruit into the bottom of the jar. Fill a fruit cup with a serving of pistachios. Place the pistachio filled cup in the mason jar, screw on a lid, and place in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Prep the apples by slicing/coring them and dipping them in something so that they don&#8217;t turn brown. You can dip apples in a little bit of lemon juice, Fruit Fresh (it&#8217;s absorbic acid), or even a bit of orange juice (my kids fuss if they are dipped in lemon, but orange is great). Place apples in the bottom of the mason jar. Fill a fruit cup with a serving of nuts and dark chocolate. Place the nut and chocolate filled cup in the mason jar, screw on the lid, and place in the fridge for up to 5 days. I really like these extra dark chocolate chips just FYI.

Prep bell peppers and carrots by washing and slicing. Fill the mason jar 2/3 of the way full. Place a serving of hummus in the fruit cup. Place the hummus filled cup in the mason jar, screw on a lid, and place in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you do only carrots and not bell peppers, you can keep it in the fridge for a week. Carrots that you peel and cut on your own last much longer than &#8220;baby carrots,&#8221; just FYI. I&#8217;m not sure what they do to baby carrots, but they seem to get slimy or soft much faster than a big carrot you prep yourself. If you are using baby carrots I&#8217;d eat within 3 days.

Love Fritos? Make them at home with just 3 ingredients in less than 30 minutes. Here's what you'll need.

Healthier, Dairy-Free Fritos

cornmeal* (0.37)

salt (0.02)

water

avocado

Prep the oven

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and cut 2 pieces of parchment paper about the same size as the baking sheet you’ll be using.


Make the batter

In a mixing bowl, whisk the cornmeal and salt together. Add the hot water and 1 tablespoon oil, then begin mixing with a fork or spoon. Finish mixing with your hand until the dough is well-combined and smooth. It should be a very pliable consistency, but not runny.

Transfer dough

Transfer the dough to one piece of parchment paper, then top it with the other piece.

Roll dough

Roll it out into a thin rectangle shape, then remove the top parchment and cut the dough into rectangles about the size of Fritos.

Bake

Carefully transfer the piece of parchment holding the chips to your baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with more oil, then bake for 14-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown. Sprinkle with more sea salt before serving. Enjoy!

Air Fryer Everything Bagel Bites: A Keto-Friendly Snack with a Crunch

almond flour

Greek yogurt

tsp baking powder

oil spray (e.g., avocado or olive oil),

Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend

tbsp chia seeds (for an omega-3 boost)

grated cheese (for

garlic powder (for extra savory notes)

tsp cayenne pepper

tsp onion powder (for enhanced savory taste)

herbs

Begin by spooning 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt into a mixing bowl.

Add 1 cup of almond flour to the bowl with the yogurt.

Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder.

Knead the mixture for a couple of minutes until it forms a firm dough. If the mixture is too sticky, gradually mix in more almond flour until the desired consistency is achieved.

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) as you shape the dough.

Take 1 tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.

Lightly spray or brush the balls with oil to ensure the seasoning adheres well.

Roll the oiled balls in everything bagel seasoning until they are evenly coated.

Place the seasoned balls into the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching for even cooking.

Air fry the bites for 10-12 minutes until they are golden brown and have a firm exterior.

Remove the bites from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Serve with cream cheese for dipping or as a protein-packed standalone snack.
