Lately, I've found myself craving something to eat right around mid-morning.
If this happens to you too and you're looking for easy, healthy, and budget-friendly options to keep the cravings away, these 5 picks should be on your list!
In case you didn't know, I can be quite lazy at times and like simple things that will not require much prep. I'm also a bit spoiled and like to treat myself, take great care of my savings (I'm currently saving for a new home and... not much more explanation is needed here, right?), and give my body great food to keep it in the best shape possible (physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically, etc!). So these 5 choices had to tick all the boxes for me:
✅ Tasty
✅ Low cost
✅ Healthy
✅ Easy to make (5 mins or less in prep time! - some waiting may be required if overnight)
Ready? Let's get started!
1. Apples & Peanut Butter (with a twist!)
Ok so, with this one you can go as basic or as extra as you like.
Simply, take your pick from:
👌 Apple slices dipped in peanut butter
😯 Wholemeal toast with peanut butter spread on top and apple slices (GREAT for autumn or winter!)
🤤 Wholemeal toast with peanut butter spread on top AND microwave apples with cinnamon (the premium, more decadent version, which I'm all for!)
Since the first two are self-explanatory I'll share a bit more about the third.
For this one, you'll want to:
Place bread on a toaster and... yes... toast
Slice your apple (peeling optional), and mix together equal parts of cinnamon + cornstarch, a bit of water and a sweetener of your choice (honey can be great!).
Bring apples and mix together in a microwave-safe bowl
Cover losely and Microwave for 2 minutes (or until apples have the desired texture)
Spread peanut butter on toast once ready
Pour apples on top of toast
Enjoy! 🤤
Are apples not your thing? No worries! Bananas are great allies for this snack too 😉
2. Veggies and Hummus
3. POPCORN!
4. Greek yoghurt with honey
5. Chia pudding (wait overnight for this one!)
A lil' bonus - Rice cakes with chocolate spread
And there you have it! 5 healthy snacks (and a cheat healthy dessert alternative) that can curb your cravings and support your body while you hustle.
