Too salty, full of trans fats and enriched with flavor enhancers and preserving agents: these attributes apply to most snacks that can be bought in the supermarket. The logical consequence for people who pay attention to their health and their figure is: stay away from it!

However, if you prepare your own snacks, you don’t have to go without. Because this means you have control over which ingredients you use. You can also cater to personal preferences or dietary needs, and artificial additives, sugar or trans fats are not an issue anyway.
In addition, you can let your imagination run wild when making your own snacks. For example, nuts, seeds or fresh vegetables can be transformed into original and healthy snacks.
