Healthy Snacks You'll Love This Spring

 Fresh Fruit Salad

One of the best ways to celebrate the arrival of spring is by enjoying the abundance of fresh fruits that are now in season. A fruit salad is a great way to combine all of your favorites into one delicious and healthy snack. Start by chopping up some strawberries, mango, kiwi, and pineapple, and mix them together in a bowl. You can also add some blueberries or raspberries for an extra burst of flavor. If you're feeling adventurous, try adding some chopped mint or basil leaves for an added pop of freshness.

Veggie Sticks & Hummus

Crunchy and refreshing, raw veggies are a great snack option any time of the year. Pair them with a delicious and creamy hummus dip, and you have the perfect combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Cut up some carrots, celery, cucumbers, and bell peppers into sticks, and serve them alongside a bowl of homemade hummus. To make your hummus, simply blend together chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil until smooth and creamy.

Smoothie Bowl

Smoothie bowls are a fun and delicious way to enjoy all the benefits of a smoothie, but with the added bonus of toppings. To make a smoothie bowl, blend together some frozen berries, a banana, a handful of spinach, and some almond milk until smooth. Pour the smoothie into a bowl and top it with sliced banana, granola, chia seeds, and shredded coconut. The toppings not only add texture and flavor, but they also provide extra nutrients like fiber and healthy fats.

Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is a classic snack that never gets old. It's easy to make and packed with healthy fats and fiber. Simply toast a slice of whole grain bread, mash up half an avocado, and spread it on top of the toast. You can also add some sliced tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor. This snack is perfect for a mid-morning pick-me-up or an afternoon snack.

Greek Yogurt Parfait

Greek yogurt is a great source of protein and calcium, and when paired with fresh fruit and granola, it makes for a delicious and filling snack. To make a Greek yogurt parfait, simply layer some plain Greek yogurt, sliced strawberries, and granola in a glass or bowl. You can also drizzle some honey on top for added sweetness.
