Healthy snack ideas?
« on: March 06, 2014, 10:33:31 AM »
Can y'all suggest some healthy snack ideas for small get-togethers (3 people total). Can be homemade or not. They like to bring a lot of baked goods and there are healthy options at times, but I don't want to keep taking muffins and desserts at 8:30 at night. Last night I made a pretty fruit/cheese/cracker/nut platter. I've done a nice nut platter before, I can't keep doing that.

Flavored popcorn. My sister made one that had a lot of different spices (I prefer my popcorn plain, but everyone else really liked it.) 
Hummus and veggies
Chocolate covered fruit (berries in a bowl and drizzle chocolate over it...yum.) 
Trail mix (maybe not the healthiest, but easy.)
Chex Mix(see right above.)

Fruit salad of some kind.
Ditto to veggies and hummus, yum. You can throw in some pita chips or something for people who want that with it, too.

mmmmmm DD loves to make flavored popcorn, from savory to sweet. We did that for a bake sale as well in the fall. Hummus and veggies, veggies and dip, warm artichoke and spinach dip and pitas, rice or pasta salad.

Fruit slices and vanilla yogurt for dipping.

But 1 to what diablita said. Also, does everyone bring something every time? Can you rotate and just have one person bring a snack to each get-together?

Thanks y'all!! Great ideas!

Diablita - I wish we could. If it were up to me we would.
Clementine- we do rotate.
