The one thing I love about St Patrick’s Day is that it is an entire day were we can eat natural greens all day long! I have here for you 10 different healthy snack options that you and your kids will love! Who knew that eating greens could be so much fun!
If there is one thing that you just couldn’t go without during the Christmas season, what would it be? Ok, let me narrow that down a bit; If there is on type of treat that you just could not go without, what would it be? I know what mine would be. I wait all year for cranberries to be in season and then I buy a bunch and freeze them for the rest of the year. Who am I kidding? They never make it more than a few weeks in my house. This is a recipe that we have been using for years. It is simple but delicious!
Here is a short video showing you just how I made these delicious cranberry muffins.
You will need: 1 ¾ Cups All-Purpose Flour ½ Cup Sugar 2 ½ Teaspoons Baking Powder ¾ Teaspoon Salt 1 Beaten Egg ¾ Cup Milk ⅓ Cup Cooking Oil 1 Cup Coarsely Chopped Cranberries
I cut the cranberries into fourths and they turn our perfect.
In a large mixing bowl stir together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center. Combine egg, milk and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened; batter should be lumpy. Fold in cranberries.
Grease Muffin cups or line with paper baking cups: fill 2/3 full. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until golden. Remove from pans; serve warm. Makes around 12 muffins.
It is also a great gift to give a loved one and let them know that you are thinking about them.
This is such a great thing to share at Christmas parties that I just can’t keep it all to myself. I will be linking up at:
There are so many days where I find myself walking over to the fridge in between lunch and dinner. I don’t want to eat a big meal and I don’t keep chips or other processed food in the house, so it forces me to eat healthy snacks. Isn’t that ingenious idea? This is by far one of my favorite snacks to have. The crunchiness of the celery, the sweetness of the raisins and the creamy and saltiness of the peanut butter. This truly is a delicious treat. Did I mention the protein in the peanut butter helps to keep me full until dinner time?
All you need is:
Celery
Peanut Butter
Raisins
If you like these three ingredients and you have never had a chance to try this healthy delight, I would suggest giving it a try. You can’t go wrong.
I am always looking for new healthy snacks. Would you mind sharing your all time favorite healthy snack with me… please?
