The goodness of nuts and dark chocolate (remember, it’s loaded with antioxidants) make this cookie dough one you don’t have to feel guilty about eating straight out of the mixing bowl. But, like a cookie dough you’d buy from the store, we recommend rolling this mix into a log and refrigerating until firm before eating.

Your post-workout snack doesn’t always have to be a protein shake. Both tofu and beans are high in protein and highly convenient. Mix with some freshly chopped onion and celery and you’ll be refueled and ready to face your next challenge in no time.

Whether you picture the stunning pink of a Monte Carlo sunset or the pink cream filling of a classic Australian cookie, you’ll feel like you’ve had a refreshing getaway after blending up our Monte Carlo Smoothie. Bananas and cashews deliver that milky texture while strawberries bring the color.

Vegan, gluten free and nut free, this no-cook snack really is one for everybody. In this mix of Asian and Middle Eastern flavors, you’ll find the tahini balances out the taste of edamame. Plus, just like the traditional chickpea-based hummus, this edamame twist remains high in protein.

Everyone loves choc bliss balls (here in the form of antioxidant rich cacao powder), but why not put a spin on your snacking by adding a dash of peanut butter? Once you’ve blended all the ingredients, simply roll into balls, then snack!

When one layer of goodness just isn’t enough, Zocchi’s parfait is the answer. You can layer yogurt, fruit and nuts to your heart’s content and swap ingredients to include your personal favorites. This simple gem is from Zocchi’s book The A-List Diet & Fitness Plan and doubles as a fancy breakfast or a fresh snack.

The trick to getting your chocolate topping to harden – ready for that satisfying crack as you dig in your spoon – is placing your serving glass in the freezer for five minutes before you start blending ingredients. And before you ask: yes, you CAN have ice cream as part of your healthy Centr meal plan!

These coconut yogurt-based ice cream bars make a perfect freezer snack stash – ready and waiting for a really hot day, or extra hot workout. The texture of chia seeds and strawberries make for more than the average chunk of flavored ice. And all you have to do is mix, mold and freeze.

Feeling a little flat? Don’t worry, this drink will have you fizzing in no time! Known as an ice cream float in the US or a spider in Australia and New Zealand, it’s as simple as putting a scoop of ice cream into a fizzy drink. But we bet you’ve never tried it with kombucha before! To make it vegan, use a dairy-free gelato or ice cream.

Have your go-to veggie sticks (aka crudités) at the ready, because Sergio’s next-level pesto dip will only take 10 minutes – and one food processor – to create! While pesto is traditionally made with basil and pine nuts, Sergio has upped the superfood factor with kale, brazil nuts and his always essential ingredient: olive oil!

Yes, it’s true - we’ve found another use for avocado! It delivers the richness and creaminess you want from a pudding base and means you can genuinely claim this dessert snack as healthy. Plus, a pudding you can make without baking is a real time-saver. Simply mix the avocado, almond milk, maple syrup and cocoa powder, spoon into a glass, then top with yogurt and berries.
