Keeping healthy snacks around the house is a good way to avoid stuffing your face with junk. Not sure what to stock up on? Try some of these suggestions! 1. Raw nuts Raw nuts like almonds or walnuts have healthy fat, vitamin e, and protein. 

2. Apple with peanut butter Apple=fiber and vitamins. PB=healthy fat and fiber. Feel free to use another nut butter if you’re feeling a little…well, nutty:)

3. Yogurt with fresh fruit

If you like dairy, go for Greek yogurt. It’s higher in protein and lower in sugar than other yogurts. If you’re dairy free, try soy or coconut yogurt. Even So Delicious has a delicious Greek Style Coconut yogurt out!

4. Homemade Protein Bars Lara Bars and Raw Revolution are great bars to grab when you need a boost, but it’s also great to make your own. I made these Pre-Workout Protein PB Balls in April. Click the link for recipe.

Homemade Nutella

I made this dish for my sister, who loves traditional Nutella.  I think she may prefer this homemade version, which is less sugar and more hazelnut.  The spread is very easy to make; you literally just throw everything in your food processor.  I like to eat it on graham crackers topped with bananas.  These pictures don’t really do this nutella justice.  Just make it, you will see how it is way better than anything from a jar.

Homemade Nutella, adapted from Chickpea

Ingredients

  • 4 cups shelled hazelnuts
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup pure cocoa powder
  • 1/4 canola oil
  • splash of soy or almond milk
     

Directions

  1. Pour the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for 10 minutes, or until they just start to turn golden.  Every two minutes, take the tray out and shake it so that they bake evenly.
  2. Transfer the nuts to your food processor.  Blend until they turn into a course meal, and then until they have a paste consistency.  If the blade gets stuck, pour some oil 1 TB at a time, until the blade moves again.
  3. When it has reached a good creamy consistency, pour the sugar and cocoa in and blend.  Add milk, if needed, to make it smoother.
  4. Keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 months.
