Healthy Homemade Snacks You May Have on Hand
Before I give the recipes from other bloggers around the web, don’t overlook healthy homemade snacks you may have on hand ready to use!
1. Smoothies and Popsicles
Made from our raw milk, homemade yogurt or kefir (see How to Make Yogurt or How to Make Kefir for instructions) is the base for my yogurt smoothies or kefir smoothies. These are not only a healthy homemade snacks but a fermented healthy snack – think probiotics!
I also make yogurt popsicles. These make great snacks for those hot summer days. Yogurt popsicles and kefir popsicles are both easy and delicious!
You can even put yogurt into a small container and add fruit, honey and some nuts for a super quick snack. Simply add all the ingredients in layers in a small container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. Cheese and Crackers
Another cultured or fermented food snack is easily made with cheese. We make our own cheeses using the raw milk from our family milk cow. This is often a light evening meal for us!
- A super quick cheese to make yourself is Mozzarella. Because it can be made in about 30 minutes, we make a lot of it to use up milk!
- Make your own crackers to go with cheese Homemade Wheat Thins. They are delicious and easy!
3. Vegetables
Keeping cut up vegetables in the refrigerator is another easy snack idea.
My children especially enjoy carrot sticks and several of them like celery sticks. Add some peanut butter as a dip and they all want it!
For a fermented variation, try Fermented Carrots which is also simple to prepare and feeds those healthy gut bacteria!
Dips for Veggies

4. Bread and Butter
I don’t think any of the children have ever turned down a snack of Whole Wheat Bread and butter!
For a cultured variation, try your hand at sourdough bread – I love the twang of it!
Don’t forget the butter! If you have never made your own homemade butter, I can’t tell you how easy it is and so light and fluffy – you are in for a treat!
