I generally always make an effort to meal prep some snacks because I like to have a quick option, slice, muffin or a dip ready to go (and take the thinking out of it).
But sometimes meal prep doesn’t get done or it gets polished off after a couple days (anyone else have to hide food from their husbands….).
Here are 4 of my go-to quick and easy, healthy, no prep snacks that I have on regular rotation.
1. Coyo with Passionfruit & Seeds
Coconut yoghurt is such a great snack to keep in your fridge because it’s loaded with those beautiful healthy fats that fill us up and keep us satisfied. Pair it with some passionfruit (or any fruit you love) and a TBS of seeds and you have a delicious, nutrient dense snack ready in a couple of minutes.
2. Tuna, Spinach, Mayo on seed crackers
This is a super easy grab-and-go snack that only takes a couple minutes to assemble. It also makes for a great lunch!
You can buy seed crackers in the health food aisle of supermarkets OR make your own using this recipe
Recipe:
Mix a small tin of springwater tuna with 1 tsp of mayo.
Spread onto 1-2 seed crackers with spinach leaves and coriander. Delicious!
3. Banana and Peanut Butter on Rice Cakes
Banana and pb are a match made in heaven and are the one of the best ways to curb the 3pm cravings. The cinnamon gives an extra boost to balancing blood sugar levels (aka energy levels).
BANANA PB RICE CAKES
Spread 1 -2 brown rice cakes with peanut butter
Add chopped banana and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
4. Goat Cheese Lettuce Wraps
All the flavour of a salad sanga without even needing the bread. I love the hard goats cheese (different the smushy feta kind) because it has a similar taste to cow cheese but is much gentler on digestion and not inflammatory.
Add sprouts/microgreens and a bit of dijon for a tasty and quick afternoon snack.
*If you’re not a fan of goat cheese you can sub it for tuna, smoked salmon or Avocado.
GOAT CHEESE LETTUCE WRAPS
Lay a large cos lettuce leaf flat.
Spread with dijon or seeded mustard and layer with tomato slices, microgreens and goat cheese slices.
Roll up tightly and eat!
