30 Healthy Snacks You Will Crave!

30 healthy, homemade snacks to satisfy any craving.  From sweet to salty to crunchy to creamy, there’s something on this list for everyone!

I love snacks.  I pretty much eat all day long, with a meal or snack at least every couple of hours. (Even when I’m not eating for two!)  I have my go-to favorite snacks, but I also like to mix things up once in a while and try some new ideas. With my recent commitment to stop buying packaged snacks, I decided a list of my favorite homemade snacks plus lots of new ideas would be a great resource going into the new year.

I’ve searched through some of my favorite blogs to put together an awesome collection of healthy snack options for you (and me, too).  I want to try each and every one of these recipes.  The hard part is deciding which one to make first.  Which would you choose?
