    I went to an herbalist conference this summer and was introduced to the wonders of raw vegan, quick and easy, nutritious, immune friendly, power balls, energy bars and other wonder treats. I've been combing the internet looking for quick, delicious, superfood recipes. My biggest success to date is homemade

    No Guilt Almond Joy Bites.

    1 cup organic coconut
    3 tablespoon coconut oil
    1 tsp vanilla
    Pinch of salt
    Raw almonds
    2 oz. 70% cocoa bittersweet chocolate chips , can use cocoa nibs or perhaps cocoa powder
    2 tablespoon raw honey

    (recipe called for 4 oz. chocolate chips. Way too much ended up double dipping and made 1/2 cup chocolate raisins, too.)

    Reserve chocolate and almonds. Process other ingredients until they form a ball. Using parchment lined baking sheet, form 1/2 tablespoon portions into rectangles. Set almond on top and freeze 20-30 minutes until firm. Melt chocolate in double boiler or microwave in 15 second increments, stirring each time. Dip bites in chocolate. They will set up quickly. Should make 3-4 dozen bites depending on size. About 30-40 minutes with clean up.

    Be sure to share. They are calorie dense, but oh so delicious.

    I like grapes kept in the fridge. Stays fresh and has a bit of a crunch. Anytime I open the fridge to look for a snack I usually start eating those. Cherries. Watermelon salad. Raw cashews.apples. red pepper hummus with vegetables. Edamame. Guacamole.

    Almond butter! Either on celery sticks or by the spoonful. This is the best homemade honey-roasted almond butter recipe

    Kale blended with chocolate protein powder, frozen unsweetened cherries water acai juice and frozen beets. Dried figs stuffed with 1-2 whole raw almonds, shredded zucchini sautéed in olive oil spray and topped with home made marinara sauce. All good, all filling, some portable, some distract you from eating because you have to prep. I try to stay away from too much fruit (sugar, bloating etc).

    Right now my two favorite snacks are: raw broccoli or almond/craisins mix. I can't get enough!

    I'm new to clean eating, so this may not be right, but I will eat a cup of fresh broccoli mixed in with egg and jalapeno. I usually microwave it for 5 minutes and add pepper....feels good man

    I've started making green smoothies--loads of spinach, some frozen peaches, and almond milk. My husband hates them (prefers smoothies w lots of berries) but I LOVE it. Super fresh tasting.

    This time of year I also love grapefruit. I peel each section and eat it as I go. Takes a while, and makes a mess, but it's delicious and fills you up more than most 80 calorie options!
