3. Easy Trail Mix
So easy to make!
- Grab your choice of nuts. Anything but peanuts are Whole30 approved. Throw those in a container.
- Gently toast some no sugar added coconut chips (often found in the baking isle) on the stove top. Throw those in with the nuts.
- Next toss some raisins or cranberries on top.
Mix those about and you have an antioxidant power snack waiting when hunger strikes.
**Bonus-Slice up salami to have along with your trail mix snack.
4. Easy Fancy Snacking
For this snack I recommend having bento type snack type container to keep everything separated.
- Make a little snack pack using sliced prosciutto or sliced salami as your protein– add it to a section of the container.
- Then add apples, cantaloupe, or a fruit of your choice -and put it in a section of the container.
- Kick your protein up a notch by adding some almonds.
Voila a healthy little snack that hits the Whole30 requirements and squashes your hunger.
5. Ant’s on a Log- Snack for Big Kids
Ants on a log is old school but it’s the perfect snack to quell your crunchy, salty, sweet cravings.
To make it Whole30 compliant– replace your peanut butter with almond butter.
- Slice 1 celery stalk into 3 sections.
- Spread almond butter on to the sections.
- Add raisins “ants” on top
Place in a container and you are ready to go.
6. Mango with Chili Powder and Lime
This is an exotic, tasty treat.
The beauty of this Whole30 snack is that it quenches your sweet tooth while the chili powder rev’s up your metabolism.
This is as easy as it sounds:
- Slice up a mango
- Toss it with a squeeze of lime juice, sprinkle with chili powder.
- Finished!
Throw it in a container for later.
7. Carrots, Celery, and Almond Butter Dippers
I like to use bento type or a sectioned off container for these types of snacks- that way I have everything in one place. Less to fiddle with if I’m eating in the car or at one of my kids sporting events.
- Put a couple of Tablespoons of almond butter in a container.
- Grab some baby carrots and celery sticks.
- dip your veggies in the almond butter when hungry.
Nothing too fancy here, but it will stop hunger pains in their tracks and is deliciously crunchy.
8. Apple Cinnamon Almond Butter Dippers
This is a variation of the above carrot, celery, almond butter dippers.
Except for this one:
- slice apples up, toss with a squeeze of lemon juice. The lemon juice adds a nice, light tartness plus it will keep your apples from browning.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Put a Tablespoon of Almond butter in a container.
Done! This is a snack is ready to travel.
9. Lunch Meat & Lettuce “Sandwiches”
Choose a lettuce like romaine or bib. These keep their “boat” shape and are easy to pull away from the lettuce head.
Using a clean leaf of lettuce, place your favorite all-natural lunch meats in the “boat”, creating an open face sandwich.
Top with your favorite mustards.
For added taste and nutrition add some avocado to your “sandwiches”.
