If you’re missing the days of elementary school brown bag lunches, these healthier, home-made adult versions of your childhood favorite foods might hit the spot.

Vegan Cheez-Its

This homemade Cheez-It recipe from Minimalist Baker mocks the flavor of the real Cheez-Its by using nutritional yeast and sea salt so you can get all of that addictive yellow yumminess with none of the dairy. Plus, it only uses eight ingredients, which automatically means it’s healthy. Right?

Healthy Homemade Hot Pockets

There’s no denying that Hot Pockets are delicious… or that they aren’t the healthiest thing you could eat. So if you want to enjoy that Hot Pocket taste without that Hot Pocket stomach ache, check out this recipe from Don’t Waste the Crumbs.

Healthy Homemade Mango Fruit Roll-Ups

To finish it off with something sweet, why not try this homemade version of the sticky, chewy fruit roll-ups we all couldn’t get enough of as kids? It uses real mango… and that’s literally it. Pretty incredible, right? Plus, unlike other homemade fruit leather recipes, you don’t even need a dehydrator to make it happen. It’s healthy, easy, delicious, and quick. Talk about a win-win!
