Healthy Sinterklaas snacks for a wonderful evening!

Sinterklaas is coming again! And that means, in addition to a large bag of presents, of course that there will be a lot of goodies on the table again for an evening. Very nice, but also not ideal if you were just trying to eat a little healthier. Fortunately, there are certainly ways to keep a little responsible. For example, making healthy Sinterklaas snacks yourself is a good option!

A little unhealthy is fine
-
Of course the recipes in this blog are not really healthy either. For example, they still contain sweeteners like honey - basically just sugar. It is therefore better not to eat these gingerbread cookies and muffins every day. However, you really don't have to worry for once.

Pepernoten and spice nuts are sometimes confused. Kruidnuts are the hard half balls, ginger nuts are the softer cubes. We have previously written a blog about healthy spice nuts on Drosspieren, so we would like to refer you to that. You will also find the recipe for chocolate spice nuts right here!

Marzipan in a list of healthy Sinterklaas snacks? Interestingly enough, this treat is less unhealthy than many people think - just don't eat too much of it, as it is high in calories. Mix 250 grams of white almonds, 90 grams of honey and a large teaspoon of gingerbread spices in a blender. Grind for a few minutes until a ball of marzipan forms.
-
You can then knead this into shapes! You can of course also further decorate the marzipan with chocolate or dyes. For example, a dash of beet juice gives it a nice pink color.

These gingerbread muffins are filled with homemade almond paste, for an extra luxurious Sinterklaas snack!

Of course, healthy Sinterklaas snacks do not all have to be edible. Tasty drinks are of course also part of the menu. Fortunately, making healthier chocolate milk yourself is very easy. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp cocoa per cup of milk and you're done! If you like it sweeter, stir in another spoonful of honey. Or use half coconut milk if you want a creamier drink!
-
Not every Sinterklaas snack has to be sweet. For example, you can easily make savory pastry letters with puff pastry. For example, fill the letter with mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and olives. Roll up well, make sure all edges are sealed, and then shape it into a letter. Then you only have to bake the letter at 200 degrees for half an hour!
-
Of course you can also use other fillings. Think, for example, of seasoned minced meat, pumpkin and goat cheese or mushrooms.

Did you end up eating more than you wanted, even these relatively healthy Sinterklaas snacks? Fortunately, there is not a man overboard. Don't worry too much: you really don't suddenly gain kilos from such a night out shooting.

It is best to pay extra attention to your diet the following days. Make a few tasty salads or soups with lots of vegetables, drink enough and snack less. You will notice that you will feel good about yourself again!
