Pumpkin spice, apples, and cinnamon take center stage in October, but not all seasonal snacks are created equal. Choosing nutrient-dense snacks with fall flavors can keep you energized all day long.

• Pumpkin Energy Bites – Stir oats, nut butter, canned pumpkin, a little protein powder, and a touch of honey for a portable, fiber-rich snack. Store them in the fridge for easy grab-and-go fuel.
  
• Apple Nachos – Slice apples thin, drizzle with nut butter, and sprinkle with granola or dark chocolate chips. This makes for a fun, kid-friendly treat.
  
• Roasted Pumpkin Seeds – A crunchy, protein-packed snack you can season with cinnamon or savory spices. They’re also a good source of zinc for immune health.
  
• Yogurt Parfaits with Fall Fruit – Layer plain Greek yogurt with pears, cranberries, or spiced apples. Add nuts or granola for crunch and healthy fats.
  
• Cinnamon-Spiced Popcorn – Air-pop popcorn and sprinkle with cinnamon and a touch of cocoa powder. It’s high in fiber and light enough for an afternoon pick-me-up.

With a little creativity, you can enjoy fall flavors in snacks that fuel your body instead of slowing you down.
