Why are healthy snacks and appetizers for holiday So Appealing?

When it comes to snacks, you do not lose just because you're a healthy eating. Eat all the sugar, fat laden foods make you feel terrible anyway. Instead, you can enjoy lots of delicious snacks and snacks that are healthy. Serve at your next party something together and see how fast you get eaten!

An easy option that has its good body is the sauce. Make a nice thick sauce with onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and peaches. It is very colorful and easy to do. Serve on a plate with tostadas or tortilla chips as a snack. For an appetizer, just put a teaspoon of salsa on a chip and the chip set on a plate. Repeat until the disc is full. Nobody will be able to resist color to this dish!

If you have any experience in the kitchen, try to do some California rolls. Crab is a luxury people can not refuse. Nori, also known as the dried seaweed used for sushi, you can find at your local store in Asia. Make some meal or snack in the afternoon. Make some bread and slice of a quick snack. This sushi is safe for all ... there is nothing raw. Everyone was amazed by your culinary expertise.

Bruschetta is another wonderful option. Toast some slices of French or Italian bread. Top it off with chopped fresh tomatoes, herbs and maybe a little cheese. Enjoy with a drink for a delicious snack. You can also make as an appetizer to be enjoyed anywhere, large or small. Make a recipe for healthy pizza your meal or snack. For snacks, you just cut into small pieces. This is a very quick dish when you're on the go.

If the salad is a favorite, this is an easy task. Make a healthy green salad with all the fixings. Chop all that are in small, easy bites. Toss your favorite dressing. Sit down and your snack or meal! If you need a quick snack, just take several lettuce leaves whole. Spoon some salad in each and roll up. Salad roll ups! Secure with a toothpick luxury and ready to party! It is even a nice healthy dish!

Lunch at sandwiches terrible hands. Think about what you can do with a simple can of olives, some cheese and some tomatoes. Arrange some of each on a plate for a simple appetizer, healthy. Add some crackers if desired for cheese. For a quick snack, get some skewers and slide on an olive, a little cheese and a cherry tomato. It is an appetizer perfect ... is food on a stick! It's portable! Everyone will love these quick little skewers.

When you're deciding on holiday appetizers you can do this same type of recipes. Give everyone a break from all the high calorie, sugary foods. Your stomach will thank you! These types of snacks look great on the table and taste wonderful. Some healthy choices will help your guests battle bloated after the holidays "feeling.

Many of these sandwiches and snacks for a few minutes and are easy to take. This causes less stress on days that are already running late, but stopped eating the nutrients you need in a snack that tastes great. Try some and you feel it is easier to change unhealthy eating habits.

delicious

by CristyW from Texas on 2010-08-30
I am gluten-free and dairy-free, so there are not a lot of "on the go" food choices. Some, like the Lara bars, are really dense and don't resemble real food. The Kind bars however taste fresh with a nice mix of flavors. The Cranberry Almond is my favorite, followed closely by the Almond Apricot. They are resilient enough to be carried around in my purse for "food emergencies". They get a little flat, but hold up much better than a banana and still taste great. Good price on Amazon, I pay over $20/box at local stores.


Unfortunately out of the Zone

by Gordon from Bethesda, MD on 2010-08-30
Anyone interested in The Zone, these are 13g carbs, only 4g protein. Completely out of the zone... as most bars are. Of course you can't find that info here on Amazon, gotta go poke around the Kind website, and after a while, there it is. So, beware!


better to buy local

by flying goose from tucson, az on 2010-08-27
Unfortunately these bars taste rather stale and old...nuts do not keep forever...and I get the sense that these have been held somewhere for far too long. Better to buy from your local store where you have some idea of the turnover..and can easily complain should the same problem arise.


Best protein/snack bar I've found

by YellowBird from Hunterdon County, NJ on 2010-07-21
Discovered KIND bars at a roadside rest area and was amazed at how one bar kept my hunger at bay. Very nice tasting. Have tried a few of the other flavors, but they all had coconut, which I'm not a fan of. This has a nice sweetness to it and therefore, some real flavor even though it's good for you.


No sulphur dioxide!

by Kwisatz Haderach from Texas, United States on 2010-07-14
These bars are soooooo good. My daughter has asthma which can be triggered by sulphur dioxide and these bars don't use this chemical to preserve the dried fruit. The bars are not hard or crunchy but they are not chewy either. Texture is kinda like a snickers bar. Easy on the teeth. Everyone in my family has loved these bars. I thought the price was a little high but now that I've tasted them, they are completely worth it. I used to buy Clif organic Z bars which weigh 36g and these are little bigger at 40g and much better tasting and more nutritious.

by Randal J. Geringer from The New Texas Republic on 2010-07-22
These taste great. It was 100 degrees when these were delivered so they were a little sticky. A few minutes in the fridge and they were fantastic.

Better than most bars, for sure- very nutty!

by T. Wilson from Oakland, CA United States on 2010-08-23
I usually don't like "nutrition" bars- if I'm hungry and in a hurry, I don't like to try and choke down a grain-type bar that requires a lot of water or liquid to get it down. These bars are great because there's no grain involved. It's just a delightful blend of dried fruit and crunchy toasted almonds- a bit of a tang to balance out the sweetness. Not TOO dry- still moist, chewy, crunchy, and very delicious. I realize grains may be important to some people, but I usually just have trouble eating those style bars. This, I look forward to- and in a pinch, it makes a tasty dessert- healthier than lots of other things.


my favorite work snack

by Peggy A. Gnehm from on 2010-08-16
I love Kind bars, especially the almond/apricot variety. They're whole foods-mostly just dried fruit and nuts- & taste great. Perfect for grabbing out of my pocket for a quick nibble at work.


Yes. We like them.

by A. Jackman from Huntsville on 2010-08-09
It seems the almond & apricot bars were changed when they switched from the 8 pack to the 12 pack so that they added more apricot or sweetness in some way. I was happy with the less-sweet version, but the taste is still divine. The kids' favorite are the fruit & nut, but this is a close second. The subscription price beats all the market prices I've seen.


New packaging means smaller bars

by F. Butler from Malta, IL USA on 2010-08-08
Our latest shipment of KIND Almond and Coconut bars in the new box SAYS that the bars are the same size as before, but they're 1/2 to 3/4" SHORTER than all of the previous shipments. It seems that we're now getting less product for the money. Our new shipment of Almond & Apricot bars will arrive soon. We'll see if they've shrunk as well.


Really good Bar

by VickiB from on 2010-07-31
Great snack bar very filling so I was able to use as a meal replacement also sweet enough to be a desert.

great bars

by Paula May from on 2009-02-16
I love this bar it's a great to in between meals. Low in fat only 150cal.


Very Tasty

by Mountaineer from West Virginia on 2007-09-04
This gluten-free bar is much better than most - a rich combination of just what it says - fruit and nuts. However, the unit description is incorrect. It is not 8 boxes but one box of eight bars.

Soooo good!

by Lynx 96 from Seattle, WA on 2010-09-03
I'm currently doing a self experiment where I have cut out all dairy and all gluten for a month. I didn't realize that in doing this, I'd have to be making almost every single meal I ate from scratch.I knew about Larabars, but I wanted something with more crunch for snacks that I could throw in my bag. I stumbled upon these at a local store, bought one of each flavor, and just fell in love. The Almond Coconut is my favorite. It really tastes like a candy bar! It's so nice to have something so healthy in my bag so that I can avoid temptation when temptation strikes! Thanks KIND!!!Oh, and I ordered these on a Wednesday morning, and they were delivered on that Friday afternoon! Thanks Amazon!


Not like store bought

by Amy Humphries from New Jersey on 2010-07-22
I've bought these in stores and they were good and slightly chewy. They make a nice mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack at work. I ordered a box from Amazon (and signed up for the "Subscribe & Save") and my first box is hard as a rock. They don't expire until next February, so they should be good. I'm hoping I just got a bad box and I'll get a better one next month.


Great gluten-free snack/dessert

by F. Butler from Malta, IL USA on 2010-07-15
I like these best of the KIND bars because they don't have any fruit in them. They can sometimes be hard to bite, but a few seconds in the microwave helps soften them up.


Like eating candy!

by R. Esposito from Northern Virginia on 2010-07-10
This healthy bar is so delicious that it's like eating candy. Something this yummy shouldn't be so good for you but it is. The Almond & Coconut is one of my favorite flavors.


being gluten-intolerant is a lot of fun

Changed Formula

by Sarah Ducich from on 2010-08-17
These were a staple for my gluten-free teenager until a few months ago when she started complaining that they tasted different, not in a good way. We found out that the company has moved to a new factory/producer and that the formula has changed in some ways. The flavor is not as fresh and tastes more like processed food. We are really disappointed and are hoping that the company can somehow find its way back to making really great bars.


Delicious, another awesome choice by Kind

by Rice Delman from Chicago, IL on 2010-08-16
I have the Fruit and Nut bars quite often, and wanted to try something new. Read good reviews about these so decided to order some. Yep, they're delicious. It actually took me eating two before I REALLY loved them, but now I actually crave them. As usual, I like that the ingredients are simple to read, and everything is identifiable. No long chemical compounds in there. I also like getting my daily serving of nuts really easily, and these totally give me a boost during my 3pm crash.


Wow!

by TD from CA on 2010-08-09
Very tasty. Not too sweet. The only downside, I wish the bars were a little bit larger. It is difficult not to eat 2 bars in just one eating.


Really good.

by Kara Stafford from on 2010-07-03
My 12 year old son who is gluten, dairy, soy, and egg free loves this bar. He is a little particular about his bars and there are limited choices that meet his dietary requirements. He loves this one and some of the other flavors of Kind Bars (check labels- not all are soy free).
