My mouth is already watering. These fine crackers are suitable as a small snack between meals but also as an alternative to bread.
Ingredients for 1 serving:
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- ½ sesame
- ½ flaxseed
- 2 tsp tamari
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 3 tsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
That’s how it’s done:
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Place the flaxseeds in a bowl and cover with ½ cup of water. Let them soak for at least 20 minutes. In the meantime you can prepare everything else.
In a pan, toast the sesame seeds until fragrant. Then remove from the heat and set aside. Cook the rice and quinoa until tender. You are welcome to let both cook a little longer than usual.
Now mix the rice, quinoa, salt, tamari and olive oil very well until a dough forms (add 1 tablespoon water if it gets too dry). Then you add the toasted sesame seeds. Be careful, the dough will be very sticky.
Take the dough and place it on a piece of parchment paper. Knead the dough well with all desired nuts, spices, herbs and vegetables. Now grab another piece of parchment paper and place it on top of the dough.
Flatten the dough thinly with a rolling pin. Remove the top layer of parchment paper and, using a knife, cut the crackers into desired shapes. Bake the batter for 25-35 minutes until crisp and golden. Let the crackers cool and seal in an airtight container. The crackers will keep for a week.
Healthy snacks: fruit spirals
![Healthy snack recipes.](https://i0.wp.com/chonchon.in/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/img_62b067f363a81.jpg?w=747&ssl=1)
Craving sweets? Then the fruit spirals are the tastiest alternative for a healthy snack. Any fruit lying around at home can be used for the fruit spirals. You can then mix the fruits or just use one variety. We show you two mixed variants.
Ingredients for 1 tray:
Variant 1:
- 1 fresh mango
- 200g dried apricots
- 1 orange (juice only)
Variant 2:
- 1 handful of frozen raspberries
- 1 handful of frozen blueberries
- 1 banana
- Options:
- Spices: vanilla, cinnamon, coconut, mint leaves
That’s how it’s done:
Combine the ingredients for your fruit spiral variant in a saucepan. Warm up the fruit and blend the fruit mix into a puree.
Now you put the puree on a piece of baking paper in the thickness you want to enjoy the fruit spirals later. Now you put the sheet in the oven and bake it on the lowest level possible. Leave the oven door ajar so the fruit can dry nicely.
The fruit spirals are ready as soon as the mass is no longer sticky. This can also take 5 to 8 hours. But be patient, it’s worth it! Now cut strips and then roll them around a pencil to achieve the spiral shape. Enjoy your meal!

Healthy Snack Recipes: Almond Date Truffle
![Healthy snack recipes.](https://i0.wp.com/chonchon.in/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/img_62b067f4daced.jpg?w=747&ssl=1)
Visually, these healthy truffle pralines easily stand up to the original. But fortunately only visually, because these sweet temptations are healthy!
Ingredients for 20 pieces:
- 20 dates pitted and halved
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/3 cup natural cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup toasted almonds (chopped)
That’s how it’s done
Blend the dates and vanilla extract. Now put all the ingredients except the almonds in a bowl. Mix the ingredients to a sticky mass. The mixture should be a bit crumbly, but stick together between your fingers.
With the right consistency, shape the dough into pralines. If the dough seems too wet to form a ball, add a little more coconut flakes. If it’s too dry, add a touch more almond butter or a splash of water.
Place the chopped almonds on a plate and roll each truffle in the almonds. Let the truffles cool in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. The truffles will keep covered in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
