10 Delicious Healthy Snack Recipes from Pinterest

I don’t spend much time on Pinterest, but when I do, I’m usually hungry and find myself looking through recipe boards in search of a good snack. It starts innocently: I click on a picture of a brownie, and then a picture of falafel, and then something covered in cheese, and then three hours later I realize I’ve been looking at pictures of food all afternoon and //images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/36800000/Story-Of-My-Life-one-direction-36827510-500-250.gif" target="_blank">haven’t eaten a thing. The struggle is real. So, in an attempt to make use of all the time I’ve wasted searching for food, I decided to compile a short list of healthy snack recipes I found on Pinterest. (Heads up! I’m into “pop-able” snacks and finger foods.)

1. No Bake Energy Bites

These easy to make treats are bite size, sweet, and easy to eat on the go! Check out this no-bake recipe from //www.chewoutloud.com/2014/09/22/bake-energy-bites-gf/" target="_blank">Chew Out Loud.

2. Spicy Black Bean Burgers with Chipotle Mayonnaise

Although it’s not advertized as a snack, these babies are delicious. //www.skinnytaste.com/spicy-black-bean-burgers-with-chipotle/" target="_blank">Skinny Taste’s recipe can be made bite sized (for sliders), and will last in your freezer for months. So whether it’s lunch, dinner, or a snack you’re hungry for, if you have these patties on hand, you’ll never go hungry.

3. Beanless Brownies

Because healthy brownies are hard to come by, I had to share //thefoodieandthefix.com/21-day-fix-secret-ingredient-brownies-no-beans/" target="_blank">The Foodie and The Fix’s beanless recipe. Yes, I said beanless. There are people in this world who think making brownies with beans is okay. I’m here to tell you it’s not, and this recipe is exactly why.

10. Blackened Shrimp & Crispy Chilled Cucumbers
