Spring is heating up in the Valley of the Sun 🌞 and that means it’s time to keep things light, fresh, and hassle-free in the kitchen.
Whether you’re looking for quick bites between errands or something easy after work, here are some whole food, -packed snack ideas that don’t even require turning on the oven:
🥣 Blended Cottage Cheese – Cottage cheese is having a moment! Blend it for a creamy base to sweet or savory dips — think buffalo or high-protein cheesecake dip.
🌴 Medjool Dates – Nature’s candy! Smash ‘em, stuff ‘em, or blend them into a smooth spread. Perfect with fruit, toast, or just a spoon.
🥜 Nuts & Seeds – Pair with fruit, toss into smoothies, or turn them into creamy dips. A little crunch goes a long way.
🍓 Fresh Produce – Strawberries, grapes, cucumbers, jicama… all make for perfect grab-and-go snacks. Bonus points if you pair them with hummus or cottage cheese dip.
🍗 Rotisserie Chicken Wraps – No oven, no problem! Mix with Greek yogurt + pickles or mozzarella + cherry tomatoes for a tasty lettuce wrap or lavash roll-up.
🍨 Fluffy Yogurt – Mix Greek yogurt with pudding mix, baking powder, and your fave toppings. The result? A no-bake, high-protein treat that feels like dessert.
Spring and summer snacking should be easy, nourishing, and delicious. What’s your go-to no-oven snack right now?👇
