Book Review | Snacktastic!

Cooking Light Snacktastic!: 150-Calorie Snacks That Keep You Satisfied by Editors of Cooking Light

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I like the variety in this book! There are recipes for dips, spreads, smoothies, snack mixes, spiced nuts, cookies, granola, you name it. A few of the recipes are repeats from other Cooking Light cookbooks that I own, I really don't mind though because it's just convenient to have all of these snack recipes together in one book instead of flipping back and forth between the other cookbooks. You will need a food processor for some recipes, but other than that no special equipment is needed for these snacks.

Most of the recipes are pretty simple and use ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

Nutritional information for macro-nutrients is listed with each recipe, nice for anyone counting calories or doing Weight Watchers, etc.
