Fueling Your Day, the MorningStar Way
Life in the Pacific Northwest is all about balance—between activity and rest, indulgence and health. Whether you’re tending to your garden, enjoying a walk through Amberglen Park, or participating in community events, having nourishing snacks on hand can keep you energized and satisfied.
Snack Ideas Inspired by Oregon’s Bounty
1. Hazelnut & Berry Yogurt Bowl
Combine Greek yogurt with a handful of Oregon-grown hazelnuts and fresh berries from the local farmers’ market. Drizzle with a touch of local honey for added sweetness.
2. Smoked Salmon on Whole-Grain Crackers
Top whole-grain crackers with a slice of smoked salmon and a dollop of cream cheese. Garnish with fresh dill or chives from your herb garden.
3. Apple Slices with Almond Butter
Slice a crisp, locally-sourced apple and spread almond butter on each piece. Sprinkle with cinnamon for extra flavor.
4. Veggie Sticks with Hummus
Cut carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers into sticks and pair with a serving of hummus. It’s a crunchy, satisfying snack that’s easy to prepare.
5. Trail Mix with a Twist
Create your own trail mix using unsalted nuts, dried cranberries, and a few dark chocolate chips. Portion into small containers for grab-and-go convenience.
