Angie and I are always experimenting with fun ways of making healthy snacks that taste great, satisfy our cravings, and are packed with nutrients. In yesterdays post I shared an avocado dip that we experimented with.

Today we would like to share our homemade roasted red pepper dip, which is at the top of our favorite healthy snack options. Here’s a video of Angie and I demonstrating how to make roasted red pepper dip…

Roasted Red Pepper Dip: A Healthy Snack Option

Here’s the ingredients:

6 Red Peppers

1 Large Eggplant (or 4 small Eggplants)

3 garlic cloves

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Small amount of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil

Preparation:

Coat the red peppers and eggplant with extra virgin olive oil

Place on the barbeque set on high for 10 minutes

Flip the red peppers and egg plant over and cook for another 10 minutes until they are charred all around

Place the red peppers in a brown paper bag immediately after taking them off the barbeque. Close the bag and allow them to sit for 15 minutes

Peel the charred skin off of the eggplant and red peppers and place in a blender

Add 3 garlic gloves and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Blend until desired smoothness.

Serve with Triscuits, tortilla chips, or any healthier option that you can think of.

Give this tasty and healthy snack a try and let us know how you enjoy it.

Keeping It Real,

Banana Muffin Recipe

Do you want a quick breakfast for the road? Looking for a healthy snack option? Need some ideas for your child’s lunch? Try making these Banana Nut Muffins. They are easy to make and full of many nutrients.

Banana Muffins

Here’s how I make them really healthy:

3 large, ripe bananas
½ c. sugar
1 tbsp. honey
1 egg
1/3 c. melted butter
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
¾ c. white flour
¾ c. whole wheat flour
½ c. walnuts
¼ c. ground flax seeds

Mash up the bananas and add the sugar, honey, egg, and melted butter. Mix up the dry ingredients and add the banana mixture to it. Mix everything together.

Scoop out mixture into greased muffin tray. Makes 12 muffins. Bake at 375 for 20 min.

** I like to add the whole wheat flour and ground flax seeds to make it healthier. **

The bananas are a great source of potassium and fiber. The flax seeds are full of fiber as well. Also, walnuts are an excellent nut and full of omega 3 fatty acids.

Enjoy!

Cheers to health,
