Note: Even though these are no-added-sugar snacks, we're including both sweet and savory recipes because we know ~snack cravings~ have a mind of their own. 😎
Almond Butter Energy Bites With Date & Coconut
Ingredients: 2 cups medjool dates (pits removed); ½ cup roasted almonds; ½ cup almond butter; ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut, divided; pinch of salt.
To make: Combine dates, almonds, almond butter, salt, and ¼ cup of the coconut in a food processor and blend until a sticky dough forms. (If dough is not coming together, add one tablespoon of water and continue blending.) Then wet hands and form dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls, and roll in remaining shredded coconut. Let dry at room temperature for 2 hours before serving. Store in an airtight container.

DIY Spiced Popcorn
Ingredients: ¼ cup coconut oil, melted; 1 teaspoon chili powder; 1 teaspoon curry powder; ½ teaspoon kosher salt; ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric; ¼ cup nutritional yeast; ½ cup popcorn kernels.
To make: In a small bowl combine chili powder, curry powder, salt, turmeric, and nutritional yeast. Set aside. Place 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and three popcorn kernels in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Cover with lid and shake every 15 seconds. When all three kernels pop, the pot is hot enough. Take those three kernels out (so they don't burn), add remaining popcorn kernels, cover with lid, and shake every 15 seconds. Popcorn is done when popping slows to 5 seconds between every pop. Transfer popcorn to bowl, add remaining coconut oil, and toss with spice mixture.
