Quick snacks for on the go

Summer is a busy time for all us. Now is the perfect opportunity to make sure you have quick, easy snacks that you can toss in your purse, gym bag, or grab as you head out the door. I am a huge fan of food prep and use the weekends to make sure I'm stocked up for the week.

Try these Raw Peanut Butter and Honey Tarts. They are gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. I typically double the recipe and have even used a mini baking tin. You can experiement with the toppings. Pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs are by far my favorite, but you can add whatever you like (almonds, coconut flakes, etc.).

Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
3 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil
3 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp honey, maple or agave syrup
pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs for sprinkling (almonds, goji berries, etc)

Line muffin tin with 6 paper cases

Add the banana, extra virgin coconut oil, peanut butter and honey to a food processor. Blend until smooth, and then divide the mixture between the muffin cases. Sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs.Place in the freezer to set for at least 2 hours. Makes 6 small tarts.


Running low on time? Grab a KIND bar and a green juice. This KIND bar packs 7g of Protein and the Suja juice is loaded with veggies which is perfect for when you are on the go. 

Nuts and seeds are also great on-the-go snacks. Pack individual baggies to toss in your gym back, purse, office draw and even in your car. You can event spice up a store bought bag of granola by adding in lots of extras to make it count. I added Goji berries, raisins, sunflower seeds, unsweetened coconut flakes, chia seeds, cashews and chopped walnuts to this healthy bag of KIND granola. 
 




Remember to always have go-to food available. We are a culture of snackers and we also like things that are quick and easy. So make your pantry count as  well & keep whole foods around...make it COUNT!


What are your favorite on-the-go snacks?
