Introduction Speedy preparation snacks are ideal for individuals and families who are busy and on-the-go. Just include a few additional food items on your shopping list so you have the right ingredients on-hand to prepare your snacks. These recipes are extremely versatile. Prepare these snacks on the spot or prepare the night before or first thing in the morning. Simply bring them to work or include them with your child's lunch.

I've organized these easy-prep snack recipes into a number of different categories to allow for fast and simple look-up. I have also included a few recipes from my other book titled Green Smoothie Recipes & other Healthy Smoothie Recipes. Whenever possible, I recommend utilizing gluten-free options. Individuals who suffer from Celiac disease can experience extreme symptoms due to their body's intolerance of gluten. However many people are unaware they have gluten sensitivities as their symptoms are often only mild, such as bloating and tiredness, which they often attribute to other causes. According to some sources, 1 in 33 people suffer from Celiac disease, though some experts claim the real figure is much higher.

According to osteopathic physician and author Dr Mercola, as many as 10% of people have some degree of gluten sensitivity or intolerance. What's more, gluten-free breads and foods tend to be healthier and they allow for easier, more efficient digestion. This makes gluten-free foods more nutritious, so I have included a number of gluten-free snack recipes in this book. Healthy Snack Preparation Healthy snacking is key to maintaining a healthy weight. Unfortunately, unhealthy snacks such as chips, candy bars and cookies tend to be easily accessible and there's little, if any, prep required. This makes these less-than-healthy foods more appealing to busy, on-the-go individuals.

These easy-to-prepare recipes are sure to make healthy snacking much easier and more convenient! When your life is busy, there's often a great deal of stress involved too and this can leave you prone to opportunistic illness like colds and flu bugs. But these easy snack recipes will help keep you looking and feeling your best! Healthy, homemade snacks aren't just for stay-at-home moms or retired folks! These recipes are designed to be viable for you, even if you have a hectic, busy schedule. These snack recipes are perfect for children. In fact, they're so simple to prepare that your kids can make up many of their own snacks! Adult eating habits are largely influenced by the foods that you eat as a child, so healthy eating is extremely important during childhood! These recipes will also help encourage creative snacking habits, which can make for a much richer snacking experience. Kids in particular also tend to be attracted to bright colors, so the wide array of fruits and veggies mentioned in this book will help keep snack time appealing! A bit of inventiveness and creativity can go a long way in the kitchen! In this book, you'll find lots of healthy alternative to the many popular, yet unhealthy foods that are commonly consumed as snacks. Instead of potato chips, opt for some tortilla chips dipped in homemade salsa or dip fruits in yogurt or honey.

Fruit smoothies are also great for snack time. Plus, they're easy to eat on the go! In fact, you don't even need to keep a supply of fresh fruits on-hand. Freeze a bit of fruit or buy frozen berries. Then, simply thaw and blend when it's time for a snack! Pair your smoothie with some fresh fruits and veggies, dipped in yogurt or hummus. Salads also make for a very healthy, easy-to-prepare snack. Salads also make a great pack-and-go snack that you can take along to work or school.

And you can use whatever you have on-hand, such as lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, even a bit of chicken or cheese. Preparing a pre-made salad at home can be a huge money saver too, as by comparison, salads can be quite expensive when purchased at the local restaurant or supermarket. Salt Alternatives I recommend using Himalayan salt in recipes that call for salt as an ingredient. The body does need salt to remain healthy and balanced, but table salt isn't the right type. Table salt has been chemically processed into sodium chloride. This is different from salt in its natural form and as a result, your body cannot use it properly.

It requires a lot of water for your body to process sodium chloride. This results in imbalances that can cause or exacerbate serious health problems. It can also lead to dehydration. Himalayan salt is pure and it has not been chemically processed, therefore, it maintains its beneficial attributes and components such as minerals. Himalayan salt, when consumed in small amounts, can serve to help promote healthy sleep patterns, cardiovascular health, healthy skin and an overall balance in your body chemistry, pH and fluids. Individuals who have been diagnosed with ailments such as high blood pressure may need to avoid salt entirely, even Himalayan salt.

Fortunately, there are a number of herbal alternatives to salt. 1. Garlic Garlic is an extremely popular, flavorful seasoning. It's used in many regions of the world, from Europe to the Mediterranean to South America and beyond. It's extremely versatile, as it can be dried, sauteed, roasted or boiled. 2. 2.

Chives The tiniest member of the onion family, chives are ideal for use in many dishes in place of salt. Chives are suitable for use in dishes with potato, salads or seafood recipes. 3. Basil Basil is commonplace in many Italian dishes. It's also found in some forms of Asian cuisine. 4. 4.

Oregano Oregano is most often found in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Spanish-Latin cuisine. It's frequently combined with basil for use on grilled poultry and vegetable dishes. Like basil, oregano is an herb that can be used dry or fresh. 5. Sage Sage isn't just for your stuffing dishes! It's ideal for Italian recipes, meat and even soups. 6.

Ginger Well-known for its ability to soothe your digestive system, this strong, distinctive herb is commonly used in Asian recipes. It's suitable for use in meat dishes, veggies and soup. No-Prep Snack Ideas 1. Nuts Almonds and pistachios make for a great, very portable snack. A handful of nuts averages approximately 100 calories and they tend to be very filling too. 2. 2.

Hard-boiled eggs High in protein, low in calories and fat, hard-boiled eggs are a great snack that stores well. They're also a great on-the-go breakfast item that's easy to make more appealing to children with a quick and simple egg dying project! Another alternative: raw egg from a fresh, organic free-range hen. Dip a bit of bread in the raw egg or soft-boil and leave the yolk uncooked and runny. 3. Hummus High in fiber and protein, Hummus is a dip made of chick peas and sesame paste or tahini. 2 teaspoons of on bread or crackers averages 100 calories. 2 teaspoons of on bread or crackers averages 100 calories.
