Healthy but tasty snack?

Hi All,

I'm looking for a good receipe for a healthy but tasty snack to send to work with DH. It's as a thank you for a gift we werre given. I was going to make cookies but the company is on a health kick right now.

Any thoughts?

Muffins or quick breads (there are lots of recipes that use whole wheat flour and have low sugar): You could do a few varieties and send them in a basket with a couple of gourmet jams or spreads. And you could even include some savory ones, as well as sweet options... I have recipes for spinach florentine muffins and other veggie/cheese varieties. It would look pretty and travel well.

Homemade granola bars

Fruit platter with a homemade dip, or a fruit platter with some treats, such as dark chocolate dipped strawberries. But if the fruit is going to sit out on a conference room table all day or has to travel far, it may not hold up that well.

If you want more savory, maybe send in a cheese platter with olives, nuts, whole wheat crackers

I think the muffin basket is probably your best bet to hold up well and please the crowd. If you are worried that people will think they aren't healthy enough, you can choose healthier recipes and include them with the basket.

I just made a pumpkin bread over the weekend. DH LOVED it and great this time of year. Let me know if you want it and I will email to you.

I will also try and think of some more snacks.
