This week on IG I got a DM asking how I’m eating healthy meals and snacks now that I have a baby that is on the move, working full time, and balancing tons of big projects. The truth is that I have been slacking on meal prepping anything! I’m not a big meal-prepper as is, but I do like to have a few things on hand every week. Usually I make double dinners and eat the leftovers for lunch, and I also try and stock up on 1-2 snacks to keep in the fridge or pantry for emergency hanger. But due to our travel schedule and being busy in general, I’ve just been working on the fly with food.

I’m motivated to get back into planning ahead a little bit and taking better care of myself by having healthy and delicious snacks on hand. Muffins, dips, nut mix, bliss balls, and so many other amazing recipes live on my blog and now they’re going to live in my fridge too! I hope you find something you love here to nourish yourself and your family.

Double Chocolate Zucchini Blender Muffins

They’re chocolatey and indulgent, but somehow include literally one whole serving of veggies, and are gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free. What’s not to love about these easy-to-make, delish little muffins? Make a double batch, keep half in the fridge to eat all week and store the other half in the freezer for the following week. Top with peanut butter for the perfect snack. Click here for the recipe.

Coconut Mango Chia Pudding

I’m always looking for a quick and healthy snack during busy days that I don’t have to put much thought into. One that I can just grab and eat, knowing it’s going to give me a boost of energy and is made from really good and simple ingredients. OK, well this Coconut Mango Chia Pudding is it. And I know, I’ve made chia pudding about a hundred times before and even have a recipe in my cookbook, but this one hits different. Click here for the recipe.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bliss Balls

Kind of hard not to love an easy-to-make, no-bake, nutritious and delicious little energy bite. They’re the best on-the-go, anytime-snack that doubles as a dessert treat. And since I entered my pregnancy/postpartum/mom era earlier this year, it was only right I came up with a nursing mama-friendly version: pay attention to the one key ingredient that takes these from bliss balls for anyone, to special lactation bliss balls for all of us mamas.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Let me start by saying that if hummus is on the app menu, I’m going to order it. But ultimately, nothing beats a fresh, homemade batch. And when it’s as easy as this one is to make, it’s kind of a no brainer. Anything classic is, well, classic for a reason, and while I will never turn down a classic hummus, I loved switching it up with this roasted red pepper version. Click here for the recipe.

Chewy Snack Bars

This recipe was so popular in my cookbook, Rachael’s Good Eats, that I just had to upload it to the blog for you. These come together so quickly and they’re such a nostalgic snack for me! You can store them in the fridge and have them on hand for your whole family all week long. Click here for the recipe.
