I always try to have a fresh fruit salad prepared in the fridge for Shabbos or Yom Tov afternoons, when everyone is looking for something to snack on. It’s light and refreshing and definitely a healthier alternative to cakes and cookies.
My new favorite snack is homemade popcorn — made in a brown paper bag in the microwave. I put about 1⁄4 cup of kernels into the paper bag, fold over the top and close with a piece of tape, and nuke on high until I don’t hear popping anymore (roughly 3 minutes). I spray it with Pam (thank you to my cousin Zipporah Freedman for that idea!) and sprinkle sea salt or Trader Joe’s Coffee-Cocoa Sugar spice, if I’m craving something a little sweet. Store it in sandwich sized ziplock bags for portion control and it will stay fresh for a few days.

Baked apples! Plus a scoop of ice cream for a bonus treat (and on Shavuos it can even be milchig ice cream — since any other type isn’t even worth mentioning…).

I know that I’ll be eating way too much sugar and dairy on Shavuos as it is. So I’m going to snack on ground nuts sprinkled over Greek yogurt. Might as well get some protein in…
