I am definitely a snacker. I believe that you should eat smaller meals throughout the day, rather than 3 massive meals. It is much better for your metabolism so why not do it? So here are a few of my favorite snacks to make at the beginning of the week and enjoy all week!
Black Olive Hummus
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked garbanzo chickpeas (about 1 1/2 cans)
1/4 cup Sesame Tahini
2 clove fresh garlic
1 t salt
4 T lemon juice
1/2 can black olives
1/4 extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup cold water
If you are using canned garbanzo peas, be sure to drain and rinse.
Be sure to stir the Tahini as it may have settled.
This is a super easy recipe using a food processor or blender. Put all ingredients into the processor except the water.
Blend the ingredients together. While the processor is running, slowly add in the water.
You may have to stop the blender and use a spatula to scrape down the sides.
Blend until smooth! Yup thats it!! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Serve with your favorite gluten free crackers or veggies!
Gluten Free Snack Mix
Ingredients:
5 1/2 T of Olive Oil
2 1/2 T Worcestershire sauce (Lea and Perrins is GF!!)
8 Cups Gluten free chex-style cereal
1 Cup almonds (or any other nut of your choice)
4 Cups butter free popped popcorn
2 t GF Seasoned Salt (Lowry's is GF)
1 t Garlic powder (McCormick's is GF)
1 t Onion powder (McCormick's is GF)
1 cup dried cherries (optional)
Preheat oven to 250°
Place olive oil, Worcestershire, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large roasting pan and stir to combine.
Add in your cereal, nuts, and popcorn. Stir all together so the seasoning coats all of your ingredients.
Bake uncovered in oven for one hour. Every 15 minutes remove from oven and stir around.
After the hour, be sure to let cool and toss in your dried cherries (optional) before you enjoy!
helpful hint: this could always be a wonderful gift for a friend!
Thanks Y'all!
