Ready, set, go make these gold medal snacks for your watch party! Just as the athletes have trained to reach peak performance, I’ve honed my snack game to bring you a selection of superfood treats that are as delicious as they are nutritious. On the menu are my superfood brownie bites, peanut butter crispy treats and frozen yogurt berries — each crafted to keep your energy levels high and your taste buds satisfied as you cheer on your favorite competitors. So, snuggle up on the couch and start snackin’ like a champion! Brownies are a favorite indulgence in my house, so whatever I can to do bring in extra nutrition to the beloved treat is a bonus.
This mini version is made with good-for-you ingredients, like whole-wheat flour, applesauce and cocoa powder. I also sprinkle on various superfood toppings, such as berries, pomegranate seeds, chopped nuts and seeds, as well as other tasty extras, like mini dark chocolate chips, granola and shredded coconut to take each bite over the top. Have fun with toppings — add whatever you and your crew enjoy.
Feel free to mix and match, and experiment with different flavors, colors and textures. You’re the boss of your brownie bite! Indulge in a healthier twist on classic Rice Krispies Treats with these peanut butter gems — no marshmallows needed! Made with just four ingredients (peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract and crispy rice cereal), these treats are a wonderful way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Perfect for a quick snack or a fun dessert, they are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike.
Remember those candy dots you used to get when you were a kid? Those cool colored circles stuck on strips of paper were such fun to peel off and pop in your mouth. It was sugary satisfaction with a side of paper because it was nearly impossible to peel them off cleanly. That’s my inspiration for this recipe — all the fun, but none of the sugar rush, suspect food dyes, colorings and, well, papery aftertaste.
These frozen edible gems are made with nutrient-filled berries and protein-packed Greek yogurt. The prep is finger-lickin’ good (literally — your fingers will collect a nice amount of yogurt by the end) and you’ll wind up with a speedy, satisfying and healthy sweet treat..
