I don’t know about you but….I’m constantly diving into snacks this week! I can’t stop snacking so I wanted to share with you a handful of my fav snacks for you to enjoy during your quarantine.
Air-popped popcorn
Unlike pretzels or chips, popcorn is a whole grain.Stick to lightly salted varieties, or flavor your popcorn with herbs and spices.
Cheesy popcorn
Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. nutritional yeast over 2 cups air-popped popcorn.
Frozen grapes
Freeze 1 cup of grapes and enjoy them as if they’re sorbet.
Cinnamon apple
Sprinkle an apple with cinnamon for a treat that tastes more decadent than it is.
Nuts
A handful of 20 pistachios, 12 almonds, or 14 peanuts makes for a nice “good” fat and protein snack.
Mediterranean tomato
Dice 1 medium tomato and top with 2 Tbsp. feta cheese and a pinch of salt.
Cottage cheese and melon
Combine ¾ cup of melon with ½ cup of low-fat cottage cheese for a sweet dessert.
Mediterranean rice cake
Spread 1 Tbsp. of hummus on a whole-grain rice cake. Top with 2 cucumber slices.
Frozen nutty banana
Roll ½ a peeled banana in 1 Tbsp. chopped peanuts, pressing so that the nuts stick to the banana. Freeze. Enjoy!
