Wholesome and scrumptious snacks for kids and adults alike! Easy recipes with shortcuts!

Snacks play such an important role in our lives, don’t they? Snack time after the kids got home from school was especially dear to me. They would come home eager to share their day with me and over snacks and milk, we would sit and chat about the fun stuff and also about their concerns and stress.
When my kids were very little, I was lucky to have a very sweet elderly neighbor whose son was a pilot and visited her regularly. She told me that he always remembered the snack time he had with his mom after school. Her advice to me was that years fly by so fast, so treasure that snack time with your kids.
It is vacation week here and summer vacation in India. We always think of snacks for car trips and outings, don’t we? For a foodie like me, those snacks double the fun at all times 🙂 These recipes are easy to make and taste just as authentic with the shortcuts, are healthier and absolutely moreish!
So here is a compilation of some wholesome snacks that kids and adults both love.
Churma Laadoo -An Indian American fusion recipe

Zucchini and Parmesan Masala Crisps

Microwave Chivda with Oats and Papad- a must have for all road trips!

Healthy oats, flax seeds and dry fruit laadu-


Vegan and with no added sugar, Super Cool Dates and Almonds Milkshake

Baked Khari Puri with Oats- easy recipe using pancake mix!

Enjoy vacation week and spring and summer vacations ! These recipes made easy with shortcuts but are also healthier versions of the original recipes and are wholesome and scrumptious! No compromise on the taste 🙂
Enjoy!
Love,
