Have you ever wondered what do 5 Hogwarts Professors recommend to snack on? No, really??? Maybe it’s just me, lol.
Now that I have gotten you thinking, what do you think they would recommend? Who might have a sweet tooth? Do you think they eat healthy snacks? Do you think any of the professors are picky eaters?
I could go on and on and on, lol. I have so many questions, but I digress. After a lot of research, I think I have come up with what Professors Snape, Sprout, McGonagall, Flitwick, and Dumbledore would choose to snack on.
Oh, before you get all particular, I know that at the end Dumbledore was the Headmaster and not a Professor; however, he was a Professor at Hogwarts before he became the Headmaster.
Professor Snape’s Recommendations
Let’s all start with the most hated and then loved Professor of all time, Professor Snape, head of the Slytherin house! A Slytherin’s traits are shrewd, cunning, and ambitious, just to name a few.
When I think of these attributes, I immediately think of hoity toity, upity snobs, lol. Sorry if you fall into this house, no disrespect, just what comes to mind. So then I had to figure out what snobs eat, because lets face it, I’m not one. I don’t really eat fancy food, lol. Plus we are talking about snack food, so it makes it a little bit trickier.
Then I thought about a charcuterie board for one (because let’s be honest, what Slytherin would share?). Their board would be comprised of the best meats (salami, prosciutto, etc.), cheeses (Brie, Havarti, etc.), marinated olives, fresh cut baguettes, and dips, like the Extraordinary Trio (I mean the name speaks for itself), 3 Onion, and Creamy Ranch!

I can totally picture Professor Snape sitting in his private rooms, sipping some Sencha & Jasmine Tea (known to give an energizing boost so he can stay sharp with all his deceptions) and snacking on a charcuterie board for one, in front of the fireplace and reading a How to Take over the Wizarding World, One Potion at a Time book, can’t you? {yes, I made that up, but you can totally see him doing this, lol}
Professor Sprout’s Recommendations
Who doesn’t love kind and quirky Professor Sprout, head of Hufflepuff house? (Seriously, if you hate Prof. Sprout, you need to stop reading now and move on, regardless of what house you’re in). Hufflepuff’s are patient, loyal, and want fair play. All things we should want in a friend! Also, because Prof. Sprout teaches Herbology anything and everything green came to mind, lol.
I see Professor Sprout taking an afternoon break in one of her greenhouses, sipping some Blue Butterfly Tea and snacking on some crudités and dip. Think fresh garden veggies like yellow pear tomatoes, cucumbers, heirloom carrots (eat the rainbow!), watermelon radishes, etc. She would also enjoy dipping those crudités in some Spinach Dip, Garden Veggie Dip, and if she was feeling a little fresh, she might have Lemon Dilly Dip!

Professor Flitwick’s Recommendations
Now onto sweet little Professor Flitwick, a former dueling master who imbues the Ravenclaw traits of wisdom, intelligence, and wit beyond measure, just to name a few!

I can picture Professor Flitwick sitting in his study sipping Turmeric & Ginger Tea – known as an antioxidant powerhouse! He’s so smart!! For his snack, he would want something that keeps him sharp, nothing to dull the senses and muddle his thought processes. For this reason, he would choose to have the House Elves make him a Summer Berry Sweet Dip parfait. This parfait would have layers of fresh berries (also known for their antioxidant properties and brain health), Summer Berry Sweet Dip, and then topped with nuts (also excellent for the brain!).
Now we know what keeps little Professor Flitwick so sharp!!
Professor McGonagall’s Recommendations
What do you think brave, daring Professor McGonagall would snack on? Gryffindors also have nerves of steel and are known for their chivalry. Remember when Professor McGonagall took on Prof. Snape when everyone thought he was going to attack Harry? She had nerves of steel at that point, I mean, taking on a known Death Eater – WOW!!!
I digress. I see Gryffindors liking spicy food. I mean, they are daring, right? I think she would be sitting in her office, not caring what anyone thought and sipping on a Summer Sangria (made with Blue Butterfly simple syrup), some chips, and dare I say… Jalapeño Guacamole!!!

Wait, I know you probably think I am totally off base here. She always seems so prim and proper, but it’s those quiet ones that you have to worry about, lol. I mean, picture her with her hair down, not a care in the world, and unwinding after telling the Weasley twins for the 100th time to stop doing something ridiculous. I mean, every parent has been there, am I right?
Professor Dumbledore’s Recommendations
Last, but not least, Professor Dumbledore. Probably one of the most loved Harry Potter characters out there. Now, we all know that he had a wicked sweet tooth. I mean the passwords for his office were always based on some surgery sweet, like Acid Pots or Sherbert Lemon. Can’t fault him for that!!
As a Gryffindor, he too always demonstrated nerve, daring, courage, and bravery. Willing to go out on a limb because he felt it was the right thing to do. I bring this up because it also has gotten him into some problems as well.

His heart is always in the right place, but sometimes he would air on the side of caution instead of being forthcoming with Harry and we all saw how that panned out.
I believe he was the same way with his snacks. I can’t see him noshing on anything but sweet treats, lol. He was going to do what he was going to do, even Fudge figured that out, lol. I think he would sip some Hibiscus Bliss Tea and have a Chocolatey Temptation Cupcake (or three) and think up some new way to use dragons blood.
