#2 Having trouble getting going? You may be struggling with constipation, and these fiber-packed snacks can help with that. With at least 3 grams of fiber per serving, these snacks can help you feel regular and full. Recipes like Apple Pie Energy Balls and Easy Black Bean Dip are filling, tasty, and will help you get back on track—especially when enjoyed in between fiber-rich meals.
Apple Cake Energy Balls
These no-bake Apple Pie Energy Balls are easy to put together and give you the energy you need to power your body through the afternoon.
Easy black beans
This cream bean is great for a party or picnic. Smoked paprika and ground chipotles add a strong, earthy flavor, but if you don’t have other spices on hand, you can use regular paprika and cayenne.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Energy Bars
Dates give these no-bake energy bars all the sweetness you need. Each square provides a high dose of protein thanks to the peanut butter and peanuts, as well as the fiber from the toasted oats. Kids love the crunchy bites with crunchy nuts.
Banana-Oat Muffins
Whip up these diabetic banana-oat muffins for a quick and easy snack, or add them to complete a nutritious breakfast. These muffins can be eaten for several days or frozen and enjoyed for up to a month.
Crunchy Fried Chickpeas
Try this satisfying snack instead of nuts. Sweet grains are low in calories and full of fiber.
Caramel Joy Energy Balls
Think of these easy no-bake cookies as a healthy version of our favorite Girl Scout Cookies — chewy caramel, dark chocolate, and toasted coconut come with oats that add fiber instead of sugar and flour. And the best part? It only takes 15 minutes from start to finish.
White Bean & Avocado Toast
Mashed avocado and white beans make the perfect partner for fiber-rich, creamy toast. Try it for a quick breakfast or snack.
Maple Granola
This quick and healthy granola recipe can be enjoyed as cereal with milk or drizzled over yogurt to make an easy parfait. Serve with bananas for a balanced breakfast.
Dried-fruit bars
Make these easy homemade dried fruit bars to pop into your child’s lunchbox all week long.
Quick Guacamole
Mash up some avocados, stir in some fresh salsa and a squeeze of lime juice, and you’ve made the easiest healthy guacamole. Guacamole will turn brown if allowed to sit and is best made before serving. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, enchiladas or burritos.
Almond-covered dates
Medjule dates are softer than their semi-dry Deget Nour cousins and are therefore much easier to seed with nuts. This healthy snack recipe can be turned into an addictive treat by adding a little blue cheese.
Bagel side banana
Talk about a grab-and-go breakfast: this bagel topped with peanut butter and banana slices is ready in 5 minutes and easy to eat on the run.
Blueberry-Lemon Energy Balls
If you’re looking for a midday pick-me-up, these irresistible blueberry-lemon balls come together in minutes and make the perfect on-the-go snack. Walnuts add plant-based protein and help maintain energy, while a little maple syrup adds sweetness.
Strawberries and cottage cheese
This snack combines dairy with fresh fruit and provides a boost of vitamin C and calcium for your day.
Everything is spiced with almonds
Grinding the whole bag of spice in a spice grinder will help it stick to the almonds.
Peanut Butter, Blueberry and Oat Energy Squares
These one-bowl no-bake energy bars ensure a quick way to get through long meetings, intense workouts, or a mid-afternoon energy slump. Feel free to swap out the blueberries for your favorite dried fruit and the pistachios for your favorite nuts—but keep the maple syrup the same. We found we used less than 1/2 cup.
Cinnamon-sugar fried chicken
Baked chickpeas for an easy and healthy snack. Chickpeas are covered in slow-release sugar in this candy nut. This snack is best enjoyed the day it is made.
