Easy Healthy Movie Snacks

So with summer coming to an end, our nights have consisted of movie dates or watching Netflix. We have been trying to find ways to enjoy snacks that are natural and healthy, but won't keep us enslaved in the kitchen or spending money on multiple ingredients.

FROZEN TREATS
While freezing fruit for snacks is no secret, I have never thought of coating my fruit with yogurt or chocolate before freezing it to make it even more delicious. Try yogurt and chia covered grapes, yogurt covered apples, or chocolate banana pop.

Other great ideas are to blend the frozen fruit to make a banana peanut butter ice cream or a strawberry-banana ice cream.

SWEET vs SALTY:
Its hard to choose one snack when one person prefers salty and the other prefers sweet. While there is the option of buying or making two different snack, a better way is to coat the same snack two in different ways. You can cover roasted almonds, roasted chick peas,and popcorn with a sweet coat (like cocoa roasted almonds, honey parmesan chickpeas, and cinnamon honey popcorn) or a salty coat (like chili lime almonds, lemon peppered chickpeas, and buffalo ranch popcorn).

SWEET BALLS
Super easy and natural way to satisfy any sweet craving are some no baked energy balls. While I enjoy making my own with protein, nut butters, nuts, cocoa powder, seeds and oat flour, here are more recipes that just as simple as mine are a chocolate truffle balls, coconut heaven, and pumpkin pie balls. Another alternative to energy balls are two-ingredient coconut macaroon.

OVEN BAKED CHIP:
Since I am a huge chip and dip fan, my go-to chip alternatives have always been sweet potato chips. Since scrolling thru Pinterest, I have other alternate ideas made from veggies like this zucchini chip and an microwave apple chip recipe.
