EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Close Photo: Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Lindsey Lower These delicious snacks are low in saturated fat and sodium, making them good options to support heart health. Plus, they’re high in fiber with at least 3 grams per serving, which can help with healthy weight management and lowering risk of diabetes and heart disease. You’ll want to try options like our Crunch Bar-Inspired Energy Balls and Roasted Buffalo Chickpeas for a heart-healthy bite to help you feel energized and satisfied until your next meal! 01 of 23 Crunch Bar–Inspired Energy Balls Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Lindsey Lower To emulate a Crunch Bar, we packed this energy ball with crispy puffed brown rice cereal inside a milk-chocolaty, chewy center. A dark-chocolate drizzle adds more intense chocolate flavor. Cashew butter has a mild, neutral flavor that doesn’t overpower the other ingredients, but you can substitute any nut butter if you prefer. View Recipe 02 of 23 Cottage Cheese Snack Jar Photographer: Rachel Marek, Food Stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop Stylist: Gabriel Greco This creamy, crunchy snack packs 20 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber in one small Mason jar. Adding the chickpeas right before serving will keep them crunchy. If you want to store everything in one jar, opt for 1/4 cup rinsed canned chickpeas instead. View Recipe 03 of 23 Roasted Buffalo Chickpeas Soaking chickpeas in vinegary hot sauce gives them a mouthwatering tang before they crisp up in the oven. The result? An addictively crunchy snack that's actually good for you. View Recipe 04 of 23 Blueberry Cobbler Energy Balls Photographer: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Prop Stylist: Lydia Pursell, Food Stylist: Emily Nabors Hall These blueberry energy balls feature dried blueberries, oats and pecans that combine to give you a bite-size taste of blueberry cobbler. You can use almond butter for a nuttier taste or sunflower butter for something mellower to bind them together. These portable snacks are ready in just 30 minutes and can be stored in your fridge or freezer for a quick grab-and-go snack. View Recipe 05 of 23 Lemon, Mint & White Bean Dip EatingWell This quick, healthy dip is an easy appetizer or snack. If you don't have cannellini beans, chickpeas work just as well. Serve this tasty dip alongside veggies, crackers, pita or pretzels. View Recipe 06 of 23 Anti-Inflammatory Energy Balls Photographer: Stacy k. Allen, Props: Christina Brockman, Food Stylist: Lauren Odum Drawing inspiration from the flavors of Cherry Garcia, these chocolate-cherry date energy balls are a tasty tribute to the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor named after Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Packed with chunks of dark chocolate and dried tart cherries, they’re not only delicious but also contain polyphenols, a nutrient found in cherries that can help suppress inflammation. View Recipe 07 of 23 Lentil & Goat Cheese Toast Ted & Chelsea Cavanaugh This simple goat cheese toast is topped with lentils and walnuts for a satisfying, savory bite. View Recipe 08 of 23 Breakfast Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cakes Alexandra Shytsman Peanut butter is the star ingredient in these oatmeal cakes, providing not only flavor, but a boost of plant-based protein too. Hiding a bit in the center of each muffin is a fun way to ensure that peanut butter makes it into every bite. View Recipe 09 of 23 Cranberry-Almond Granola Bars There are plenty of granola bar options at the grocery store, but they're also easy (and often healthier) to make at home. Feel free to vary the add-ins to your taste, swapping 2 cups of any combination of small (or chopped) dried fruit, nuts, seeds and/or chocolate chips for the dried cranberries and nuts in this version. View Recipe 10 of 23 Rice Cake Snackwich Ted Cavanaugh Upgrade your rice cake snack with a schmear of almond butter and some sliced apple. This quick sandwich boasts 5 grams each of fiber and protein to help keep you satisfied. View Recipe 11 of 23 Date-Nut Bread Dates are naturally sweet so no extra sugar is needed in this quick-bread recipe. Toasted almonds add a nice crunch and the optional coarse sugar topping, while it isn't needed for sweetness, certainly adds to the presentation. View Recipe 12 of 23 Air-Fryer Crispy Chickpeas Air-fried chickpea snacks are intensely flavored and incredibly crunchy. Drying the chickpeas is essential to a good crunch, so don't skip this step. If you have time, leave them out on the counter to dry for an hour or two before frying.

View Recipe 15 of 23 Tequila Guacamole Margarita lovers will go crazy for this twist on classic guacamole. Spiking your guacamole with tequila adds an extra layer of flavor and blends deliciously with the fresh lime juice and jalapeño. This guacamole is for grown-ups only, but you can omit the tequila if you're serving to kids. View Recipe 16 of 23 Fig & Honey Yogurt In this Mediterranean-inspired snack, dried figs and honey top plain yogurt. Substitute fresh figs if you can find them. View Recipe 17 of 23 Cinnamon-Sugar Roasted Chickpeas Roasting canned chickpeas until crispy makes a simple and healthy snack. In this riff on candied nuts, chickpeas are coated with cinnamon sugar to make them irresistible! This snack is best enjoyed the day it is made. View Recipe 18 of 23 Low-Carb Blueberry Muffins Just because you're watching carbs doesn't mean you can't have the classic breakfast pastry. In place of all-purpose flour, nutty almond and coconut flours make these muffins fluffy while slashing carbs. A bit of brown sugar blunts the tartness of fresh blueberries. Make these ahead for a grab-and-go breakfast for the week. View Recipe 19 of 23 Homemade Microwave Popcorn Make your own microwave popcorn—it's the simplest technique for making popcorn at home and only requires popcorn kernels and a single brown bag. You'll pop up a perfectly fluffy, light snack each time.

View Recipe 23 of 23 Peanut Butter, Blueberry & Oat Energy Squares These one-bowl, no-bake energy squares ensure a quick way to refuel during long meetings, tough workouts or that midafternoon energy slump. Feel free to swap the blueberries for your favorite dried fruit and the pistachios for your favorite nut—but keep the maple syrup as is; we found using less than 1/2 cup resulted in crumbly bars.
