Fall/Winter Snacks

With the Fall/Winter weather in full swing, my cravings switched over to wanting more cozy, comfort foods.

What used to work as snacks in the summer…like berries & melon…aren’t feeling as satisfying. Sooooo…

Here are my NEW 6 cozy snacks with a focus on seasonal Fall/Winter produce & warming spices like ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom.
MY 6 FAVORITE COZY FALL/WINTER SNACKS…

• Popcorn w/ Pumpkin Spice + Pumpkin Seeds
  Pumpkin seeds contain immune boosting zinc… smart during cold & flu season. HOW TO: Mist 3 cups air-popped popcorn w/ coconut oil, sprinkle on 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice and toss w/ 3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds.
• Apple Slices + Cheddar Melt
  An apple is 86% water… hydration is key for dry winter weather.
  HOW TO: Slice 1 apple and melt on 1 ounce cheddar cheese.
• Yogurt w/ Cardamom + Dried Figs
  Yogurt contains fat burning CLA… which may help decrease holiday weight gain. HOW TO: Stir 1/4 teaspoon cardamom into 5 ounces plain 2% yogurt and top w/ 3 chopped dried figs.
• Beet Chips + Tahini Drizzle
  Beets contain nitrates, which naturally boost energy… perfect before holiday shopping. HOW TO: Drizzle 1 tablespoon tahini onto 1 ounce beet chips.
• Pear Slices + Ginger Almond Butter
  Ginger works to reduce aches & pains… try this snack post-workout. HOW TO: Stir 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger into 1 tablespoon almond butter and spread onto 1 sliced pear.
• Endive Leaves w/ Goat Cheese + Walnuts
  Omega-3 fat in walnuts may bust stress… helpful for those end of year work deadlines. HOW TO: Fill 6 endive leaves each with 1 teaspoon goat cheese and 1 walnut half.

These snacks will give you all the cozy Fall/Winter feels!
