No-Stress Summer Snacks You Don’t Have to Cook
If you're anything like me, the summer heat (and a healing shoulder!) calls for keeping things really simple—especially in the kitchen. I’m all about low-effort, feel-good food this week. These no-cook snack ideas have been on repeat over here, and they’re perfect for lazy afternoons, impromptu backyard hangs, or quick bites in between garden watering and chasing life.
Here are a few of my go-to favorites right now:
✨ Charcuterie Jar
Grab a Mason jar and layer cheese cubes, sliced salami, grapes, and your favorite crackers. Portable, pretty, and absolutely zero fuss.
✨ Greek Yogurt & Berry Parfait
Spoon Greek yogurt into a cup, add a drizzle of honey, and top with berries and granola. Looks fancy. Takes five seconds!
Pretty jars for parfaits or charcuterie!
✨ Avocado Toast Lite
Skip the oven. Just toast your bread, mash avocado with lime juice and sea salt, and top with cherry tomatoes. Done and delicious.
✨ Caprese Skewers
Cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and mozzarella balls on a toothpick, then drizzled with olive oil. These feel like a little treat from a summer café.
✨ Hummus and chips or veg
Whip up a quick hummus using any beans you have (I like garbanzo or cannellini beans), a touch of tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Quick, easy, and good for you.
Pro Tip:
Prepare a few of these on Sunday so you can grab and go all week long. Add fresh mint or basil from your garden for a special touch. Grab everything you need to make these snacks!
