Stock your pantry for smart bites between meals

Quick trail mix

Mix equal parts semi-sweet chocolate chips, dried cranberries and your choice of roasted nuts (hazelnuts, peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans).

Yogurt parfait

Top ½ cup of Greek yogurt with ½ cup prepared seasonal fruit, drizzle with agave or honey and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons chopped roasted nuts.

Almond and cream cheese stuffed colossal olives

Scrape a roasted almond tip across a bar of light (Neufchatel) cream cheese to pick up a generous ¼ teaspoon. Stuff it, cream cheese end down, into a colossal pitted olive. (Trim olive base if you want it to stand up.)

Goat cheese-topped cherry tomatoes

Halve grape or cherry tomatoes lengthwise and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Smear each half with a generous ¼ teaspoon of fresh goat cheese.

Pizzelles with Nutella and banana

Spread a pizzelle cookie with 1 tablespoon of chocolate-hazelnut spread (Nutella) and top with ½ sliced banana.

Salsa-deviled egg

Halve a boiled egg and remove yolk. Mash yolk with a tablespoon of your favorite salsa or salsa verde. Spoon filling back into egg halves and enjoy. If there’s time, top eggs with minced sun dried tomato.

Roasted walnut-stuffed prunes

Scrape a shelled walnut across a bar of light (Neufchatel) cream cheese to pick up a generous ¼ teaspoon. Stuff walnut, cream cheese end down, into the prune.

Ham cheese and pickle roll-ups

Lay a thin slice of sharp cheddar on a thin slice of ham or turkey. Place a pickle at one end and roll up.

Quick cucumber-yogurt dip with pita chips

Grate ¼ seedless cucumber and squeeze it dry. Mix with ¼ cup Greek yogurt and 1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pita chips.

Honey-drizzled ricotta with pistachios and cinnamon

Scoop a generous 3 tablespoons of ricotta into a bowl and top with 1 teaspoon of honey, 2 teaspoons chopped pistachios and a pinch of cinnamon.

With a decently stocked pantry and refrigerator, and a couple of extra minutes, you can create easy, guilt-free snacks and mini-meals that are both satisfying and good for you.
