A few weeks ago at my neighbor’s reptile-themed 4th birthday party, his mom hired a guy to bring over his collection of live animals. He showed up with an assortment of snakes, lizards, and even a huge turtle, and he patiently showed the young kids how to gently hold the smaller reptiles.
But the turtle was an immediate favorite, especially when the preschoolers learned they could feed him! The birthday boy’s mom passed around slices of brightly colored bell peppers to each kid, and they dropped the veggies in front of the turtle’s face, completely mesmerized as he munched and crunched his way through an entire garden’s worth of food.
I laughed to myself as I watched… That’s exactly how I feel during the afternoons too, Mr. Turtle! I love my afternoon snack breaks, but often I want something a little more filling than plain ol’ fresh fruit and veggies!
So that’s why I’ve rounded up this collection of 40 Easy & Healthy Snack Recipes for you! They all contained no artificial ingredients, refined flour or sugar—unlike many of the options on the snack aisle at the grocery store—and they’re incredibly simple to make. (And super yummy, too!)
