Today we're putting a twist on the classic dehydrated apple snack with a much more irresistible version: crispy apple and pear chips coated in chocolate and almond.

They're easy to make in the air fryer, with no added sugar, and combine the best of both worlds: the lightness of fruit and the indulgent touch of chocolate.

Today I suggest a vegetable snack that's easy to prepare and very healthy. These beetroot and sweet potato chips, with the crispness given by dehydration, are a perfect nibble to keep hunger at bay at any time of day.

You can make a delicious, healthy snack the easiest way: this spiced chickpea recipe is an irresistible nibble, and it only takes you one minute to prepare — then dry them!

You can put a twist on a salad in the easiest way. I strongly encourage you to try this arugula salad with toasted walnuts and raisins and crispy ham; paired with the apple it's a wonderful combination. And those toasted, caramelized walnuts... Oh, my God! They're delicious!

The dehydrator is useful for much more than making dried fruit chips for a snack or dehydrating onion, garlic, mushrooms and aromatic herbs to always have them on hand for your stews. With this recipe for dehydrated banana and cocoa crepes I hope to shed light on the possibilities offered by the air dehydrator, and of course I hope you enjoy breakfasts that are healthy, energizing, and delicious.

More and more of us refuse to resign ourselves to eating processed products; we enjoy making recipes at home with healthy ingredients and without preservatives, and even more so when the products are supposedly the so-called "healthy" ones.

If you were wondering how to make homemade bars you'll love reading this post (and the mold Mastrad has released!). Cereal bars are tasty, healthy, provide energy and are a perfect food to take everywhere (to work, to school, for when you're exercising or simply to carry in your bag to snack mid-morning). Also, if you make the bars at home, you can control the amount of sugars and the quality of the ingredients, and they have that extra "I made them myself" factor, which is always an added pleasure—you can't deny it.

Have I ever told you how I snack healthily between meals? One day I discovered dehydrated foods and since then I haven't indulged anymore. They're a lifesaver for my moments of temptation!
