Salty, sweet, creamy, and crunchy -- the options are endless with these 8 Great Healthy Snacks! Best of all, each easy recipe is ready in less than 1 minute!

Do you get the mid-day munchies? I’m a huge fan of snacking — not only because it helps to keep the metabolism humming, but also because it’s a great way to maintain my energy throughout the day. Plus, I’m much less likely to overeat at a meal if I’ve had a little snack beforehand. If you’re like me, though, you want a snack that satisfies your cravings and tastes delicious without weighing you down or derailing your healthy diet. That’s where these amazing options come in!

I’ve pulled together a list of snack ideas that come together quickly and easily — because when you’re hungry, you’re HUNGRY. No need to waste time whipping up a masterpiece in the kitchen. Each of these babies are ready in about 1 minute!

The crispy and satisfying base of each snack comes from a Wasa cracker. These crackers are perfect options to fuel a busy and active lifestyle — delivering all of the flavor and NONE of the guilt! Wasa is currently available nationally and can be found in the specialty cracker aisle at most major and independent supermarkets…making them convenient to pick up for any occasion (even if you live in the middle-of-nowhere…like me)!

Let’s start with some of the traditional Wasa varieties, including Sourdough Whole Grain Crispbread, Flax Seed Crispbread, and 7 Grains Crisp’n Light Crispbread.

I used the THINS to prepare even more great healthy snacks and I absolutely LOVE these choices. The hint of sea salt on the crackers brings out the sweet, fresh, and juicy flavors in the toppings for an amazingly delicious treat!

  3. I just love WASA crackers. They are so delicious, I like to have them for breakfast with a cup of tea and a tiny bit of jam on them.

  4. I haven’t seen WASA crackers in years. I didn’t know that they were still around. I will have to look for them!

    1. Oh, that’s a great suggestion too! I always have red pepper hummus in our refrigerator. I’ll have to try that next!

  5. I’m so putting these on next week’s shopping run! Love the creativity and flavorful fun with each of your creations. I’m craving the Italian one right now with some balsamic vinegar. Thank you for sharing 🙂

  7. Great ideas for toppings. I love Wasa but I have not been this creative with the toppings. Great inspiration.

  8. I’ve got to try the “Nacho Average Snack” because if there’s one thing I love more than snacks, it’s puns. 🙂

  9. I remember these from when I was younger. I have wanted to try them again, and these snacks look so good! I have a few ideas of my own, too”

  10. I think Wasa crackers, sliced garden tomatoes some cheese is one of the best snacks ever. It all looks delicious!

  11. amazing giveaway! I’m always looking for new healthy snacks to try! I get tired of eating apples w/almond butter every day!

  12. I’ve never had Wasa Crackers but it sure looks like fun creating little masterpieces! My kids would have a blast making up their own Hors d’Oeuvres. My personal favorite of yours is the chunky monkey!

  13. I would like to try these with my kids and think they would love to make little “pizzas” for lunch. Wasa crackers would also make awesome delivery systems for a multitude of different dips!

  14. That picture of the Wasa crackers with blackberries has me craving fruit. They look beautiful the way they’re arranged in your photo…but I think I’d pile mine on!

  15. Your crackers look great! I think you have most of the bases covered. A combination I would like to try is brie with prosciutto, basil pesto, arugula and shaved Parmesan.

  16. We are heading out for a road trip in a couple of weeks and I am going to definitely pick up some Wasa Crackers. They appear to have a great texture and flavor.
