Summertime living and the food better be easy. And not require an oven. And be on the lighter side.

Today, I’ve got tons of easy, delicious, healthy summer snack recipes to share with you.

Including, of course, some no bake treats. No bake cookie balls and energy bites are great any time of year, but especially handy in the summertime. We've also got popsicles and even some creamy dips that require just stirring a few ingredients together.

We’ve also got a few baked goods that, yes, require the oven, but they make good portable snacks.

That’s nice if you’re running around all day from activity to activity, meeting to meeting, or just want something you can grab quickly to take on a picnic or to the pool or lake.

You can also check out my 29 healthy snacks on the go for more pack and travel type snacks. Or the best beach snacks for a day by the water.

Dips are good year-round of course, but having some yummy dips on hand in the summer is great for lounging in the backyard, having friends over for some drinks or just enjoying as a quick appetizer before dinner.

We’ve also got a few festive snacks included here that would be perfect for Memorial Day, July 4th and/or Labor Day.

Whatever your needs, I hope you find some new favorites here to satisfy your summer snacking needs - and those of any kids around who require 256 snacks a day during the summer.

Oh, and if you need to actually make a meal from time to time, check out these 10 easy summer dinner ideas, no recipes needed. Just easy things you can throw together any night.

Enjoy and happy snacking!

XO,

Kathryn
