3 INGREDIENT SNACKS | Easy & Healthy Recipes!

 [Music] hey health nuts welcome back to my channel i'm nicole and today we are talking snacks i am making three no five three ingredient snacks these have been snacks that i've been gravitating towards and making a ton they're so good and simple and whether you're pregnant or not this isn't a food belly i personally think snacks are essential for living a healthy lifestyle they keep you from craving maybe the not so good stuff and just having some really good go-to's on hand are really gonna help you um just like make sure that you are satisfied and satiated all day long and you have some good options to eat in between breakfast lunch and dinner so we are gonna hop right in and i'm gonna share with you guys five three ingredient snack recipes let's hop right in first up we are actually making a super simple three ingredient chia seed pudding we're gonna do this one first because i want it to sit in the fridge while we're making the other ones and then we'll come back to it but you guys won't even know that with the power or the magic of youtube so i just i love chia pudding it's a great snack and breakfast option too it's also a great dessert because you can flavor it however you like and this one i've really simplified it to three ingredients um although you should definitely check out my chia seed pudding recipes on the blog i have three really good ones with like mango raspberry and i think the third one is blueberry um they're really good if you want to make it a little bit fancier but if you want something really quick and simple like i do um this is a great option so we're gonna need some chia seeds which are obviously the star of the show they look like little dinosaur eggs and they're just like a really cool superfood because they just soak up a ton of liquid they get jelly and they have so much fiber and like a bunch of nutrients in them next up for sweetener i'm using maple syrup here because it has that like vanilla caramelly flavor to it so we don't even have to add vanilla and then i'm using full fat canned coconut milk this is going to really make it nice and rich and creamy and pudding like and then over here we have some berries that are optional you can top it afterwards you can put like cinnamon nuts or seeds on top but the base of it is three ingredients and it's really simple so i'm gonna show you guys how to do it first thing we're gonna do is just pour in our coconut milk so make sure you get the full fat stuff if you want it to be extra creamy alright next up we have our maple syrup um you can sweeten it however much you want i do about half to a full tablespoon i'm gonna have the full directions on my blog a link will be down below and then we got the chia seeds which are just gonna thicken everything up and actually make this look like a nice luxurious pudding so just give a quick whisk so once it's all mixed up i'm just gonna actually cover it with one of these beeswax wrappers these are really handy we actually sell them on the shop and it just eliminates plastic wrap so just kind of like molds with the heat of your hand and i'm just gonna pop this into the fridge to thicken up and set you can if you're going to take these to go just transfer them right away into some mason jars with a lid but i'm just going to keep it in here and just pop it into the fridge all right our chia pudding has set let's open her up and see look at that see it's really thick i like my chia pudding like really thick more dessert like but if you like it a little bit thinner you can just add more milk but this is the perfect consistency for me so i have my little jar here and my ice cream scoop now i'm just filling it to the top for photos but honestly a little goes a long way it's very filling so don't go like too crazy and then i have just some berries i'm gonna pile on top now it's time for the taste test look at how delicious that is i mean it's a snack but it's also kind of like a dessert the texture is perfect like i said a little of this goes a long way this is a big portion size but it's delicious it's satiating the fiber the healthy fats it's like the perfect snack or breakfast or dessert whatever you want to call it try out this chia pudding it's so good all right next up we have what i'm calling my little cucumber bagel bites these are something i kind of just whipped up i may have shown them in like a what wedding a day video i can't remember at this point they're just like a really simple refreshing yet satisfying treat so all you're going to need is some cucumber this is going to be the base it's kind of going to replace the bagel or the cracker and then you also need some cream cheese just regular uh cream cheese will work and then i'm using this pre-made blend that i got from trader joe's it's just like an everything but the bagel seasoning blend um you can make this yourself i'll put the what's in here on the blog post below but this has like it's basically i'm calling this a one ingredient because it's a blend but it has a bunch of stuff in it like sea salt poppy seeds garlic it's the everything bagel spice you need this also yes canadians we say bagel not all canadians but a lot of canadians you say bagel with a big with a ba i also say like bag i don't know it's i don't know if it's canadian thing but i know i'm not alone okay so we're gonna slice our cucumber um i've already washed it we're just gonna slice it into pretty like i don't know like a little quarter inch medallions this is a great party appetizer even if it's just a party for four or two i don't know how many people you're allowed nowadays but it's just a really great snack to have on hand but yeah great for parties as well okay i think that's enough um i'm gonna just compost this end here all you have to do for assembling it's really easy you're just gonna lay out your little cucumber slices how refreshing does cucumbers smell it's so good [Music] oh so so good but even better with the toppings and then we're gonna take our cream cheese and just spread that right on top and just repeat that until i covered them all all right next we're going to take our everything bagel seasoning and you're just going to sprinkle them and they'll just stick right to that cream cheese [Music] and there you have it little cucumber bagel bites the seasoning the garlic the sea salt so good look at that layer mmm so good so good all right next up we have something that i've been eating basically throughout my whole pregnancy and it is these like oat peanut butter and honey crackers so good and you can really play around with them you could obviously switch it up and add whatever nut or seed butter that you want but peanut butter is just a good go-to um but it's really good with almond butter too i did try that one time so for this recipe these are i just want to show the brand of oat crackers that i've been loving this narns company it's really good um any crackers that you like will do i just really like the oat ones because they really pair well with like this sweet combination it's like a little oat cookie on a cracker i have some natural peanut butter so you want to look for the ones without added sugar or weird oils a little bit of sea salt is fine this one's just roasted peanuts and nothing else for sweetness i have some nice raw honey and then technically okay this is the fourth ingredient but this is optional i sometimes add it i sometimes don't a little sprinkle of chia seeds i like it because it's obviously adding a little bit more fiber and healthy fats but it also gives it a really nice like texture crunch i like it so totally optional but if you want it to be like extra good chia seeds okay so to assemble so like all these recipes guys they're not even recipes they're just like assembling really um so you're gonna just take your little oat crackers we'll make a couple and take your peanut butter every time i make these cashew comes running she's actually passed out on the couch right now but she wants to eat them just as much as i do and then of course you can lick the knife or the spoon so good so i'm gonna take our honey i really only use this cool tool when i'm filming so i like to enjoy this time with it and we're just going to drizzle it right over top all fancy like this of course would be really good with jam but i just i'm really into honey right now and then as i mentioned totally optional but highly recommend a little sprinkling of chia it's like salt bae but chia bae i just made a mess don't do that and now we test it's sticky it's sweet it's so good next up we have cereal because i am a cereal monster fun fact i used to eat like giant salad bowl size cereals like throughout my whole childhood and definitely in college living on my own wasn't my best healthy habit but i've come a long way now when i make cereal i don't eat for breakfast i will eat it more of like an afternoon snack and i try to make it much healthier way lower in sugar and i'm going to share with you one of my go-to's that this is like a new craving that i've been having but i think anyone will benefit from it so we're calling this like my diy oat bran cereal i what's the name cinnamon raisin oat bran i don't know whatever that brand name is this is like a take on it i saw someone eating it on instagram and i thought oh my god i gotta i gotta make a healthier version of it so i of course just whip something up and to me it tastes like it i don't know i haven't i never really liked that cereal as a kid but now you know you're an adult when you want raisins and bran in your cereal that's all i'm saying so this is really simple um we have our cereal base here now this is like a healthier flaked cereal um that i buy i'll put the the exact brand in the blog post but it's like a mixture of millet barley spelt and quinoa i think it's really good it has a really good crunch and it's super low in sugar it's just like sweetened just a touch and then i got some unsweetened oat milk you can use whatever milk non-dairy dairy that you like i have some raisins these are i used to hate raisins you know what i don't mind them now they're they're okay we can be friends um so those are raisins oh and i have to show you look at this little box of raisins i am so excited to put these in baby acorns lunchbox when she is a little kid like it's a miniature box of raisins but there's jumbo raisins in them like i don't know i just like guys although when i was little if this was in my lunchbox like mom i don't want raisins in my lunchbox i'm like ew now i'm like oh my god so cute little raisins like do you see how small this is these raisins are like bigger than the box anyways i just had so cute miniature things adorbs okay then we have some cinnamon technically this is a fourth ingredient but like is cinnamon a green ingredient it's optional but i'm going to put it in because i think it really ties it all together so to assemble because like i said none of these are really like recipes they're assemblies you know so i'm gonna make two bowls here um one for me and one for me one for me and one for baby that's that's what i'm going with we have our cereal so we're gonna pour that in you guys know how to make cereal it's like the easiest thing right okay and then we're gonna do our raisins we just sprinkle those on and anytime you're buying dried fruit guys look for ones without added sugar fruit is sweet enough a little cinnamon like i said optional but like highly recommend so good all right you ready for the money shot why does cereal make me so happy is it like a nostalgic thing because i grew up eating it like how cute is that you get a spoon oh look at that noise this reminds me of my mom because she would always eat this type of cereal growing up there's something about the noise of it too that brings back memories is that weird i used to watch my mom eat cereal all the time she must have been a cereal monster too okay let's take a bite almost cinnamon add the cinnamon also leave me a comment down below do you drink your milk or just leave it behind i like drinking the milk at the end has all the cereal flavor it's like cereal milk it's the best leave me a comment i'm gonna go enjoy this for a little cereal break so brb i'll see you in a few next step we are doing kind of like a fun take on avocado sushi i have been ordering avocado sushi rolls like non-stop from my local sushi shop pretty sure the lady that keeps answering the phone thinks i'm like crazy because there's been a week that i swear i called like three times it's just like really simple and satisfying but i'm gonna go an extra step to simplifying it because avocado sushi is just like seaweed right sushi rice avocado rolled up really easy but if you want to have it in like a snack version this is a really quick way to make some it's like avocado cucumber sushi hand rolls i promise i'm going to think of better names for the blog post so what we have here is some toasted seaweed this is just like the snacks size that you can get um i usually get mine at costco this is another brand i got just at a grocery store but the costco ones are really good they're even organic and these ones just have a little bit of sea salt which is nice because it's going to help salt the rest of this we have cucumber i'm using the other half of the cucumber from our other snack i'm gonna julienne this or like cut it into matchsticks and then we have some creamy avocado which it's like the salty the crunch the creamy i'm all about like the textures and flavor combinations and this is really really good so i'm just gonna do let's see probably need about that big just like measure it compared to your seaweed wrappers and then we're just going to oops it's a little slippery i'm going to cut these into like little matchsticks i don't know how the sushi chefs do it like you need to have some patience to cut all of the veggies so precise and thin like this is already testing my patience taking the avocado half just gonna slice it okay and then you can just peel the skin off okay so you got nice little slices this just came off the light and scared the crap out of me and chloe okay we're good let's just put that back on so i got my toasted seaweed snack squares i don't know the technical name i'm just gonna put an avocado slice on each one and then some cucumber okay totally optional but fun look little sesame seeds right on top and there you have it your little sushi hand roll sushi in minutes so good you could add a sprinkle more of sea salt if you want but the seaweed does have salt in it it's good as is but if you want it saltier to do that or a little tamari would be really good so i also just want to show you guys this really fun product that we actually sell on the healthnut shop it's these avocado huggers so anytime you're cutting a you're only using like half of an avocado you need this basically this little guy it just hugs your avocado do you see this you just run your finger around look at that and then it has the pit but if it doesn't have the pit you just whether it's an innie or an audi it's got you covered pun intended um and then it comes in two sizes but anyways i just love this guy i want to give a little shout out link down below check out
