Technically, there is no such thing as healthy snacks. There are either complete or incomplete meals.
By this, all I mean is that a snack is typically something like a piece of fruit, some nuts, a yogurt, or a few crackers with cheese. These are not complete meals with a balance of protein, carbs, and fats.
If you are eating a complete meal that is small, then often, people call this a snack as well.

My recipes for healthy snacks are just parts of a complete meal. They are good for adding to a meal prep or a child’s school lunch box. I will give suggestions on how to pair them with other foods to round out your “mini meal”.
