Let’s face it some days we are just too darn busy to make celery and peanut butter let alone a fancy snack. For days like that it’s great to have a Grab and Go Snack. For us those are Protein packed Shaklee 180 Snack Bars. One of our favorites is the Toffee & Chocolate Crunch. Some days this will be my morning and afternoon snack – totally satisfies my sweet tooth and keeps me going in between meals. These are loaded with protein and fiber.

Mediterranean Mini Bell Peppers
2 Mini Bell Peppers
4 Tbsp Hummus
4 Tsp Tabouli
Cut bell peppers in half long ways. Spoon 1 Tbsp Hummus in each half, then top with 1 Tsp of Tabouli. We made these for our dear friends and they turned out to be a hit, which means these make a great personal snack or a party appetizer – just multiply the amounts to fit the guest lists! Enjoy!

Frozen Chocolate Bananas
1 Medium Banana
1/3 Dark Chocolate bar of choice {33 g}
Cut banana in quarters, put a toothpick or skewer stick in them, put in a ziploc baggie and freeze overnight. Melt dark chocolate with a splash of coconut oil or olive oil and microwave until melted {or melt on a double boiler}. dip frozen bananas in the chocolate. We used a dark chocolate with cranberries and oranges so there was an crunchier texture – use whatever DARK chocolate you like so you get the health benefits of dark chocolate {not Milk Chocolate}.
This was a really fun family affair and I encourage you all to get the kids involved. They will be much more inclined to try something they helped make and they have a lot of fun doing it! Now you tell me this kiddo isn’t super excited about our creation! Even my dear friend, Molly, who isn’t a dark chocolate fan, enjoyed it! This is one you’ll want to share since it’s a higher calorie snack.

Zucchini Pizza Bites
1 Zucchini
1/4 C Pizza Sauce
1/4 C Mozzarella Cheese
Preheat oven to 350 and spray cookie sheet with olive oil or nonstick spray. Cut Zucchini into 1/4 in rounds, place on cookie sheet. Top each round with 1 tsp of pizza sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese is melted {about 4-5 minutes}. I don’t eat cheese, so my husband the cheese lover was the taster – he tried these hot and cold and loved them!

Cucumber Boats
1/4 Lg English Cucumber
1 String Cheese Stick {we used Horizon Organic Mozzarella String Cheese}
2 Slices of Deli Turkey
Pepper to taste
Cut 1/4 English Cucumber in half long ways and remove the seeds with a melon baller. Split string cheese in half long ways and add to the center of the cucumber. Top each boat with 1 piece of Deli Turkey {we used peppercorn turkey}. Finish it off with a splash of crushed pepper to taste. This was yummy and even my son got into it AND loved it! You can keep the skin on if you like it or remove it – we ended up removing part of the skin.
