Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved the ooey gooey texture of rice krispie treats. Since marshmallows aren’t typically vegan, I haven’t had one of these sticky squares in a while. I had puffed rice cereal leftover from when I made curry trail mix that I wanted to use up, and thinking back to my…

Radish Toast
Want to feel European? Make this super simple but surprisingly delicious snack/appetizer of radish + butter toast. The key is to slice the radishes really thin (use a mandolin if you have one!) and use lots of butter and salt. A healthy sprinkle of salt takes away the sharp bite of the raw radish —…
Curry Trail Mix
I love a good trail mix. I’m a chronically hungry person, so trail mix is my friend. I keep nuts and dried fruits available at my work desk and in our cabinets almost always (and not to mention my purse!) For a quick jolt of energy and calories when I’m in a pinch. I was…
Peanut Butter Fudge
I have a huge sweet tooth, but most of the time I find fudge a bit too sweet even for my tastes. I don’t often crave it, and haven’t missed it that much since going vegan. But….this fudge adapted from Minimalist Baker has changed my mind! It’s only sweetened with a touch of maple syrup…
Chocolate Tahini Date Balls
I’ve already shared a recipe for date balls (here), but these super snacks are too good not to repeat. I personally love them as an alternative to processed / packaged snack foods, and they are so sweet even kids will love them! This flavor combination is inspired by Natural Kitchen Adventures and uses tahini, sesame…
Spiced Sweet Potato Muffins
Breakfast, snack, dessert – I love foods that could be served as all three! The only sweetener in this recipe is the maple syrup and the naturally sweet potatoes and raisins, making these muffins truly a healthy baked good that is also delicious to eat at all times of day. I based these Sweet Potato…
Kale Chips
Kale chips are a perfect snack food for those of us trying to cut back on processed foods or high-calorie snacks. They only take fifteen minutes, five minutes prep and ten minutes in the oven, and a little olive oil and salt. It’s simple to whip these up in a flash when you have a…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Balls
It is surprisingly hard to think of creative work snacks. I bring a couple of snacks every day for when I get hungry in the afternoon, and it’s hard not to get tired of carrots and hummus, and apples and peanut butter. Don’t get me wrong, these combinations and others similar to them are basically…
Fruit and Nut Granola
Some things in life are both good for you, and a little bit of a treat. Granola is one of those things. Granola has really great ingredients, like nuts and oats that are high in protein, and dried fruit for a natural sweetness that is guilt-free. It also happens to be smothered in maple syrup…
