Snacks are very important to me.
On my weight loss journey I learned the power of eating and eating often but in small portions; i.e. the snack.
I planned out an eating schedule that allowed me 2-3 snacks a day and found that I was less hungry, and more energized.
The schedule was, and pretty much still is, as follows:
7-8 am: Breakfast: Most important meal of the day!!!!
10-11 am- Snack
1-2 pm Lunch
3-4 pm Snack
6-7 pm Dinner
8-830- Snack/Dessert.
Now I am a person who loves variety, so I love finding new and creative snacks for myself to enjoy; and these are one of them!
They are sooo easy to make, hit that salty and cheesy crave spot, and, of course, are healthy!
So make a batch or make two to share!
