Homemade Fig Snacks for the Whole Family

Snacking is a great way to transition between meals and keep yourself energized all day long, but sometimes it can seem like the ingredients are a bit suspect. Find oodles of fig snacks including fig bars and energy balls to introduce extra nutrition into your day. There’s something for everyone to satiate them when the craving for snacks attacks.

Fig Snacks

When it comes to deciding on Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid California Dried Golden or Mission Figs, it’s a win-win proposition. Both are chock full of fiber, calcium, potassium, and vitamin K. Eating one half cup of figs has as much calcium as drinking one-half cup of milk, so they’re a great snack on their own.

But sometimes, you want to make better-for-you snacks that resemble things you might find in a grocery store aisle but with ingredients you’ve selected and decide on. We are here for you with ideas! Snack on this:
