Spring Time Snacks

Spring and summer are perfect seasons for outdoor activities like hiking and watching your kids'
games. Having easy-to-carry, delicious snacks can enhance these experiences. Here are some
simple recipes from Marci Renee's collection that are ideal for such occasions:

 

Take a hike! recipes

Muffins & Breads
Muffins are not only quick and easy to make, but they also travel well! Place in a ziploc bag or container to enjoy throughout the day as a quick snack. If the weather is a bit warmer, place any recipes that have chocolate chips on the top of a cooler in a basket to keep them cool and the chocolate from melting!

Trail Mix
One of my favorite things that I constantly make for my kiddos is my Homemade Trail Mix. You can add in things like M&M’s, peanuts or whatever you want really! Just toss it together in a bowl and store in a mason jar.

 

Chickpea Salad
On busy weeks when we have practices and plethora of games on the weekend, I will make my Chickpea Salad Recipe. It’s not only great for meal prepping as it will last all week long, but it’s great to throw in a cooler and you have a light and healthy snack!

Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels
This is one of my viral recipes! If you are looking to take something sweet with you my Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels are it! They feed a crowd on a budget and keep well in an air tight container or mason jar!

Grape Salad
If you are feeding tiny mouths, be sure to cut the grapes in half to prevent a choking hazard.
Otherwise, my Grape Salad Recipe is easy to throw together. This will need to stay in a cooler
as it contains cream cheese, but it’s so good, easy to make and transports great in a mason jar!
