Banana Snack Wraps

Here is one of my favorite things to eat as part of lunch or as a delicious snacks. All you need:

a banana
a whole wheat tortilla
about  1-2 Tbsp peanut butter

Spread the peanut butter onto the tortilla, place the banana on top, and wrap it up. Now you have one very delicious healthy snack. You can even slice it up to make it into a "sushi" type of food.

Baked Apple Chips

This baked apple chips recipe is easy enough to make, and they can be eaten as a healthy snack or to top on top of a salad. All you need:

2 apples
cinnamon

First cut out the core of the apple. If you can somehow pull it out without ruining the rest of the apple, then go for it! I gave up on that part, so I cut the apple into four pieces around the core.

Peel off remaining peels, but you can leave some for extra nutrients

Preheat oven to 275.
Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lay apples on top, as a single layer.
Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top.
Bake for 2 hours, then flip halfway through so they cook evenly. Enjoy!!

Crock Pot Applesauce

I usually hate applesauce. Literally, for about 8 years, I ate applesauce for every single meal and snack to take my digestive enzymes for Cystic Fibrosis, since I hadn't learned how to swallow pills at that time. I would break open the capsules and put the small, what I called "bebe's." Once I learned how to swallow pills, I never went back to applesauce.

Years later I tried chunky applesauce, which wasn't as bad. I could handle apple sauce cooked in things, but that was it. 

However, when I saw this recipe on Pinterest, I figured that homemade, chunky applesauce wouldn't be as bad as the disgusting texture and taste of normal applesauce. It was absolutely delicious, can freeze well, doesn't have a lot of ingredients, and is easy to make. Here is the recipe (from http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/10/crock-pot-applesauce.html): 

Crock Pot Applesauce

• 8 medium apples (Use a combination of Golden Delicious, Honey Crisp, Fuji, Gala, etc.)
• 1 strips of lemon peel - use a vegetable peeler
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 3 inch cinnamon stick
• 5 tsp light brown sugar (unpacked) - or agave (however, I cut it down to about 2 1/2 tsp and it was just fine)

Peel, core, and slice the apples. I used a veggie peeler and then a round apple divider cutter

Place in a slow cooker. Add cinnamon stick, lemon peel and brown sugar. 

Set crock pot on low for 6 hours. Stir apples occasionally, as the apples will slowly become a delicious applesauce. Remove cinnamon stick and blend if you prefer a creamier sauce, otherwise you can slightly smash them with a spoon for a chunky sauce.

Then bam. Deliciousness. You can eat it with potato pancakes, with sausage, or just by itself as a healthy snack.
