We’re talking real-food ingredients, bold flavors, and quick prep so you can nibble smarter and feel good about it. Ready to upgrade snack time?

1. Crunchy Cinnamon Almond “Cookie” Clusters (No-Bake, No Sugar Rush)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 2 tablespoons almond butter (no sugar added)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1–2 teaspoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (optional, to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
