Never feel guilty snacking again! Our how-to videos guide you through easy recipes that are just as tasty as they are good for you.

Fruity Cereal Bars

Say goodbye to store-bought granola bars. These crunchy, nutty fruit bars will hook you for life.

PB&B Burrito

Peanut butter is packed with protein and healthy fats. Mix it with bananas and a touch of honey for a truly filling treat.

Pumpkin Quesadillas

Pack your snack with pumpkin! This twist on the traditional quesadilla is filled with nuts, cheese and -- the star ingredient -- canned pumpkin!

Creamy Fruit Dip

Fresh fruit only gets better when paired with this tangy dip, proving once again that sweet-and-savory always win.

Mango Salsamole

Mangoes add just a hint of sweetness to this flavorful dip. Plus, they're full of antioxidants, fiber and vitamins!

Open-Face Caprese

An open-face sandwich not only looks beautiful but it also cuts your bread consumption in half!

Artichoke Bruschetta

Take the guilt out of artichoke dip with this low-fat spread that's beautifully melted over Ciabatta.

Edamame Hummus

Replace the traditional chickpeas with protein-packed edamame -- or soybeans -- for a new take on a classic dip.

Balsamic Berries

It may seem strange to pair strawberries with balsamic vinegar, but the tart, tangy syrup is a great flavor enhancer for fresh fruit!

Zucchini-Kiwi Guac

Another way to change up your guac is to go green with zucchini, kiwi, jalapenos and scallions!

Angel-Berry Parfaits

You've gotta try this better-for-you dessert idea. Fresh fruit juices soak into lighter-than-air angel food cake. Drop a dollop of fresh whipped cream on top for a truly decadent treat.
