I used a piping bag for the almond butter on the bananas. Easy peasy!
Genius !! Just did that with my family and it was mess free !
Timecodes:
0:43 Banana bread Energy balls
2:10 Trail mix Granola bars
4:26 Tzatziki
5:50 Vegan Tzatziki
7:17 Baked Tuna meatballs
10:32 Chocolate Almond butter Banana bites
What do the timecodes mean?
@@sherrillaizicowitz8526 This tells you what time within the video she shows each recipe. It's helpful so if you don't want to watch the whole video again to find out how to make the tuna meatballs (why have I never thought of these??) you can by sliding your finger to that time at the bottom of the video. 😊
Sara Wylie Brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing 😊
Thanks!!!
@@sherrillaizicowitz8526 See how the time-stamp type is blue? Click on the blue type and you’ll be taken right to that recipe in the video.
I just found your videos today!! I live with my sister and my daughter. We have been wanting to eat healthier and your recipes look amazing!! I can hardly wait to start making them!! You do a beautiful job explaining the recipes, telling us why you do certain things and given amazing alternatives!! Thank you so much for sharing all you know about easy, tasty and healthy foods!!
I really enjoy your calming energy it makes watching you enjoyable after a hard crazy day
For the almond butter, I would have used a piping bag with the tiniest hole possible. Piping bags can be life savers sometimes !
I LOVED it before I watched! Nobody comes close to your meal prepping game Lisa! Thank you for ALL do!
Thanks so much Sara! I hope you enjoy this new healthy snacks meal prep 😊
I'm trying to eat healthier, and your website and CZcams channel are a gift! Thank you. Everything you make looks yummy! I'm inspired by the way you prep and store and meal plan. I lose produce because it sits in the chill drawer, so this is really organized and a good way to keep produce fresh. It's just me and my hub, so the recipes are perfect.
I made the tuna recipe twice now, we love it, the second time I sauteed half a zuccini chopped finely with the onion as I did not have spinach, it came out delicious, thankyou for the recipes, we love your channel!
I am an Engineering Undergraduate degree student, and I tend to get really stressed out. Watching your incredible videos really motivates me to keep working so I can have a nice kitchen like yours and achieve this level of put-togetherness!!!
Wow, happy to hear my videos have been able to motivate you in a positive way when it comes to healthy eating and getting organized! 😊 Can't wait for you to create these healthy snacks because I'm sure they'll come in handy come exam week!
Downshiftology thank you so much!! All of these snacks look delicious!😱💕
@@Downshiftologydo uou have keto gluten and grain free recipes.
This is exactly the kind of video that has been missing on CZcams! Thank you for making it!!!! 💕
You're so welcome! Cannot wait for you to try these snacks and see which one's your favorite 😊
I cannot thank you enough!!!!! When I run out of ideas, you come along and give me this amazing recipes. I honestly love you!!! Thank you!!!
Can't wait for you to try these recipes 😊
Just made the energy balls and the taste is amazing! Love them! Thanks for another great recipe!
Can’t wait to make these Lisa! Thank you so much for always giving us healthy food ideas 😍
Hope you enjoy all these recipes 😊
I hope you enjoy all these delicious snacks! Don't forget that there's 30+ more snack ideas on the full blog post. And apologies if I mispronounced tzatziki wrong. 🙈 I did my best - lol! I think I need to plan a trip to Greece, so I can learn to pronounce it better. 😉 (Edit - just realized I said zucchini instead of cucumber on the vegan tzatziki - yikes! It should be cucumber.)
As a Greek, I second that you must visit us soon ❤ even though your pronounciation was just fine. Thank you for all the recipes, never stop making videos please 🇬🇷
Thanks so much Sofia 😊 And glad to hear my pronunciation was okay! Haha. Had to practice that one a bit.
Downshiftology Two questions: your videos look so professionally filmed. May I ask what kind of equipment you use such as lighting nad mic etc.? Also does someone assist you in the filming or do you use smaller tripods etc. Second question do you have nutritional information for any of these recipes anywhere? Thanks again
Lol, you did say "cucumber"; you also said it holds water much like zucchini. Mmmm, I'll show you on Instagram when I make these. THANK YOU ❤❤
How is the flavor of the vegan tzatziki compared to the Greek yogurt version? I imagine it's less tangy
OMG I ran across your videos while looking for something else. Then I got stuck here sitting on the couch watching video after video. They are so helpful and the foods are absolutely beautiful and colorful. I love the food prepping and will definitely be trying some of your recipes. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos.
You bring peace into my day, and I am learning a lot. Thank you!
Thank you so much for these healthy snacks. You do cover a great variety of tastes and textures for a well thought out combination for every type of snacker. Soooo Awesome!!!! 💕
Gotta have a balance of sweet and savory 😊
The banana bread energy balls look so delicious! I can't wait to make it 😍
They seriously taste like mini banana bread slices... you're going to love it 😊
So glad to have found you! I love all of your recipes and tips!
These healthy snacks look so easy and satisfying! Can’t wait to try them!
Love this video!! For the bananas, you can put the almond butter/chia seed mixture into a small sandwich bag and cut a hole in the bottom to squeeze onto each of the banana slices. Much easier and less messy. Can't wait to try all of these recipes!!!
Sounds great! 😊
I made them , yummy
I did add a shredded fresh carrot too
@@violetamatthews2760 GREAT ADDITION 👍
Or just use a spoon and spoon combo instead of fingers
Love the idea of the sandwich bag. I was going to suggest a squeeze bottle, or piping bag, but I'm sure the sandwich bag would work perfectly 🤩
I just made the almond butter banana bites and they are delicious! I wasn't too convinced in the beginning, mine seemed to turn out tiny and all wonky but now that they're dipped in chocolate I love the look and the taste as well :)
For adding the almond butter to the sliced banana, it's quick and easy to put the almond butter in a small zip lock bag, make a small cut in one corner and pipe it on! 😋 Thanks for these awesome snack recipes! 🤗
I made the nut bars and the banana bread balls....OMG so good. My husband says that the two recipes are KEEPERS!! Which is his highest compliment. I did roll the banana bread balls in some shredded coconut because they were a little too sticky, and I added some other dried fruits and sunflower seeds to the bars and I can only eat Almonds and pumpkin seeds. I am going to be trying more of your yummy snack recipes. I have been following you for a while and I started meal prepping ingredients the way you do rather than whole meals. I find it so much easier to eat healthily as I am not bored from eating the same meal all week. Thanks for your amazing content and wonderful recipes, you are refreshing and a real inspiration to eat deliciously healthy. Cheers
Wow, all of those recipes look delicious!! Will certainly try some! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸🌸💜
Can't wait to hear which ones are your favorite 😊
Love the idea of the tuna meatballs!! I have to try this recipe. I’m tired of the same old way I prepare tuna.
This is definitely a new and delicious way to cook tuna 😊 Enjoy this recipe!
i love how calm the vibe is. 💗💗📍
Congrats on you new cookbook! That's huge accomplishment. We missed you on CZcams this past year.
Thanks so much! 😊 Once the cookbook is launched, I will be back on CZcams full force withs tons of delicious recipes 😉
Any time I’m working with nut butters or honey, i put a thin coat of coconut oil on the utensil I use. Butters and honeys way less messy that way. Especially great in measuring cups as the ingredients slide right out. Love your work!!!!!👍👍👍👍
Oooh this is a great tip, thanks!!
oh my goodness, I cannot believe how easy these are. Every time I try to follow someone to make easy recipes, it's always something that I have no clue about. Thank you so much, this is making me so excited!
Happy to hear you found these snacks easy to make! 😊
Your videos and ingredients are just brilliant. Thank you for dairy free options. You are 💯- can’t wait for my pdfs to arrive thank you
They look yummylicious snacks and healthy too! Glad you're sharing this to the world. Love the editing of your video too.
Thanks so much Kaleb 😊 Hope you enjoy all these new recipes that are now live on the website!
I would dry-roast the oats in a large pan till aromatic and golden in the 1st recipe and use a small piping bag for the nut butter in the last.
This video showed up on my CZcams recommendations and I’m SO glad I watched. So many cool ideas to try out and they all look so yummy and different. Very healthy too which I love. Thank you!
Can't wait for you to give these recipes a try 😊
Wonderful recipes, all of them. Can hardly wait to make them. Thanks for sharing.😘
please do another seasonal meal prep series this year!! 💘
I have a few new ideas coming later this year 😊
Love all these recipe ideas!! I have a suggestion for an easier way to apply the almond butter to the banana bites in the last segment. Try loading a plastic sandwich bag and cut the tip or use a piping bag and then pipe it onto the bananas, way less mess! :)
Aren't these recipes just awesome 😋.....I can literally smell and taste them through the screen
I am sooooo doing this! Thank you for the healthy and fun creative ideas!
Your vids popped up in my recommended to watch. Wow! So glad I clicked on the video. You have some AMAZING recipes and you use ingredients we can actually purchase at our local market. Thank you for sharing and I'll be trying these soon. You have a new sub!
Wow, thanks so much 😊 I hope you enjoy all these new snack ideas and can't wait to hear which on is your favorite.
I made the banana bread bites and they are amazing! I used sugar free maple syrup and added a few dates. I blended the mixture in a Vitamix and it turned out so good. Tastes just like banana bread. Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed the banana bread energy balls Jaime!
Thank you for sharing these delicious snacks - I look forward to trying them!
LOVE your recipes and system! I can't wait to get your cookbook!! It's refreshing to see healthy food that is so beautifully appealing to my particular tastes. Thank you! 🙏
Thanks so much for all your support Heather! Can't wait for you to cook your way through my cookbook :)
Here before 50 comments, YEAAAH!!!
Starting now, I'm going to make healthy snack for sure! Thank for the inspiration 🤩
Hahah woo! 😊 Can't wait for you to try all these snacks and hear which one ends up being your favorite.
@@Downshiftology It won't be easy to choose ! 😋
Love these recipes! Maybe using piping bag for almond butter in banana bites? 🤔
Thank you so much for your videos. You are an amazing person. We are so glad we found you on CZcams!
I'm glad you did as well and welcome to the Downshiftology community 😊
Thanks for sharing this healthy delicious recipes. Love your kitchen, love the set up, love your videos, and your attitude makes me want to continue to watch more of your videos. I don’t understand why over 200 people have thumbs down to your video. Please keep posting. Show us how you organize and store foods in your freezer and refrigerator.
Thanks so much for following along! 😊
"Just enjoy one or two of these banana bites" omg, I would not be able to just eat 1 or 2. lol
I 2nd that! You'd have to tie my hands together! I think I'd still find a way to get at them. I'd like to know how calorie content for at least 6 of them, please. If I'm being honest, I know I could never eat any less than that! 🤷
I think its eat 1 or 2 trays .. I think she must be joking about the 1 or 2 pieces. I have grown men at home. 😊
I love the nut butter and chocolate idea. I regularly have banana chips in my freezer and a couple of plain little bites are very satisfying. Can't wait to try this idea.
Monica Brown she said though out the week I would eat them all In 2h
I think they're meant to be like pralines. If you need more, just eat a banana with a scoop of peanut butter and/or chocolate paste.
Perfect timing! I was just thinking I need to make some healthy snack for the fam! 🤔😍❤️
I love all of your stuff. I made your banana bits recently and found that putting the almond butter in a zip lock bag and cutting the tip really makes it easy to add to the bananas. Thank you for all the great ideas.
Sounds great! Glad you enjoyed these new ideas for snacks Vanessa 😊
Yum yum yum! Snacking is my way of life since I was very young. This is SO helpful!
Thanks for sharing! Can you plz do a video on “nut free” snacks? Then I could add the snacks to my son’s (he is not allergic) school lunch. A lot of schools are “nut free” zones because a lot of students are allergic to nuts.🙂 Thanks!
The tuna balls look amazing!! I love protein balls but am definitely more of a savoury tooth so these will be perfect x
If you love a good savory bite, your'e going to love these tuna meatballs 😊
Downshiftology
How many calories are the baked tuna balls
You have great ideas thank you
@@sandytravers6114 243 calories on a serving of 4 tuna balls. It’s on her blog.
Nutritious recipes presented elegantly. It was a joy to watch. Thanks a bunch.
Lisaaaa, you're amazing! Thank you so much! 💓 💓 💓
I'm pretty fussy with my snacks but love the look of all of these! My tip with tzatiki is to strain the yogurt in a cheese cloth overnight, it draws the excess water out and makes it extra creamy :)
Thanks for the quick tip about the tzatziki! Will definitely try next time 😊
Perfect recipes during quarantine! Because I find myself reaching for snack a lot😂💕
I think we're all guilty of that right now! Hahaha. Hope this gives you some new and delicious ideas that are wholesome and healthy 😊
Yep!
Be careful to keep track so extra weight or unhealthy decisions don’t sneak up on you!
We were doing really well over here and then one day as I was leaving to go to the grocery store my husband asked for snacks and he rarely asks for snacks. It has been down hill from there! :-)
How do you store the granola bars?
Love it. Love how you explain and the types of food! Thank you
I really came for the trail mix recipe. Honestly, I had a stressful day, well, let’s be real, a stressful year. But it’s nice to come see a video where someone is happy to share a recipe with everyone. I never used to meal prep or cook. Even after I moved out of mamas house. But now that we are quarantined indefinitely started cooking salmon and making chia pudding and other healthy recipes. I always appreciate your videos. The first video I saw was of the almond milk recipe
That's amazing! Thank you so much! 💕
You're so welcome! Healthy snacks are always a must 😊
@@Downshiftology indeed!😉
Almost as if you made this according to my personal Preference 😄 I’ve been looking for some good snacks for a while !, sending love from Israel
I love and always keep Israel 🇮🇱 n prayer along with America
Thank you very much for these tasty snack recipes 😍 They’re all easy to make & excellent variety😍😍
Oh this is awesome! I can use this for my family plus snack day for my kiddos pre-k
Just enjoy 1 or 2 of the bites. Me: eats whole tray lol
The trail mix granola bars look amazing! I have to try them as a hiking snack! 😍
They'll be perfect for hiking! So easy to make as well 😊
Marvellous! Thanks Lisa, always looking for S.M.A.R.T ways to collect healthy/yummy snacks!!😋
I want to give my busy college age daughter snacks to keep her going when regular meals aren't happening. Keep 'em coming!!

Making my 2nd batch of banana bread energy balls today. They are so good; a perfect pre-workout snack for me! My husband also loves them. In fact, he's the one who ran out for more nuts this morning :-)
Sounds great! So glad you both loved the energy balls 😊
I always need to have snacks on hand! That tzatziki looked amazing
Thanks! 😊
I too loved it,soo simple yet delicious 😋
Hı :) ı'm from Turkey and in our food culture we have meal just like tzatziki and it calls 'cacık' and it's so delicious!! I hope all you have oppourtinity to come Turkey and taste it :) xo
@@Downshiftology I'd use a piping bag to put the nut butter on the bananas. I make popsicles out of peanut butter and banana pureed for my grandkids. They love them.
🙂🙂🙂🙂😘😘😘😜
You are a genius in the kitchen my dear! 😍😍 binge watching your channel!!
Wow 🤩 Lisa! They all look so yummy 😋 plus with nutritious ingredients! I love cashew. I can’t wait to make it! Thank you for all your amazing recipes.
omg, those granola bars! I love granola bars period and this recipe is so awesome!
I imagine you could also break up the granola to make a bunch of bite size chunks. Totally making some! 🥰❤
Can't wait for you try these 😊
0:01 I think she means 3 am 😂😂
Hahah, 3am munchies as well 😉
😂😂 my night runner munchies twin...
That’s what I heard 😁
3pm is late lunch or early dinner for me 😁
These look so yummy! Can’t wait to try 😋😋
Another great video! Love watching them. Hats off to healthy eating and anyone seeking better options!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🥳🥳🥳🥳
Hope you enjoy all these healthy snack ideas 😍
Just to add that it is pronounced jajiki (j makes the sound of j at the word jar). Loved every single recipe! Thank you!
I was just going to make a snack and then I saw your video😂♥️♥️
Ah, can't wait to see which snack you make first! ❤️
@@Downshiftology I am now making the Tzatziki dipping sauce !!♥️♥️
Hi, Lisa! I think your CZcams channel is proof that you can eat healthy while you eat delicious meals which are easy to make. Thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas with other people on the internet!:) I love banana bread energy balls! I have already made this food several times and I can't get tired of it.:)
Hi Betti - Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying all my recipes so far 😊
Really good stuff. Well done, I’ll be trying all these recipes!
By the way, can we substitute the maple syrup for agave in the trail mix
Traditional Tzatziki is with yogurt, vinegar, garlic, salt, cucumber, pepper and olive oil. ❤️ Love from Greece
I've been watching and using your recipes. It's definitely time for me to say thanks! Also, as soon as I can I will be buying your book.
LOVE THESE...ALL OF THEM! THANKS LISA!
When you said “After I will show you how to make a vegan/dairy free tzatziki.”
Me: Cashews! It’s gonna be cashews!
(Gotta love cashews though 😂)
My nephew is severely allergic to cashews. I am glad to know that they are used this way in vegan cooking so I can warn him.
I think using a piping bag to pipe the almond butter would be more helpful
Great idea 👍
@@carolinejohn4537 thanks💛
This recipe was divine, thank you very much!!❤️😋
I love your recipe and meal prep ideas.
Thank you 🤗
For the banana sweet bites I would prefer a piping bag, it is easier.(edit: it is also uniformed)
I was thinking the same thing.
Me with a nut allergy watching like ah yes, quality snacks.
These look awesome! Decided to make 3 per week , starting with taziki and tuna meatballs and granola bars! Thank you beautiful ❤️ 🙏🌿🧚
Beyond amazing . Love your kitchen and utensils
Lisa's a zucchini addict huh AHAHAHA jk. Though that's honestly how I got to know your channel: zucchini, spiraling, & meal prep :).
I’m currently stranded on an island in Malaysia due to lockdown so this video couldn’t have come at a better time. Running out of ideas after 84 days.
Oh no! I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy right now. But, I'm glad this video came at a good time 😊 Hope you enjoy these ideas for some snacks you can keep on hand!
This has just become my new favorite channel for recipes...cooking... etc. excited to see more recipes, especially the healthy snacks.
Welcome to the Downshiftology community Pam! 😊
@@Downshiftology Thank you so much :-)
I am addicted to watching your videos!! I can’t stop watching. I have made your chicken salad recipe and I LOVED it!! Thank you so much for your videos. They have made my new eating habits so much easier.
Awesome! 😊
Hi Lisa! In your Q&A video, you mentioned you were diagnosed with Celiac disease and endometriosis. Are you meals prepped to be endo friendly?
Banana bites, use a piping bag with large hole maybe easier! Yummm 💖 love your recipes! Thank you!
