Hi Friends!

Let’s talk about snacks today shall we? Squish and I are both huge snackers and I actually dedicate a lot of my food prep time each week to making sure I have healthy snacks on hand for both of us to eat throughout the day! We definitely have some staple favorites, but I’m always looking for new, simple ideas that I can whip up quickly.

I decided to put together a little roundup of ideas for you guys of quick, healthy 5 ingredient (or less!) snacks. Hopefully it’ll give you some new inspiration for the week!

Nutrient dense and made with just four ingredients, this Chocolate Avocado Pudding makes a great snack or dessert!

These Easy Egg Wraps are perfect for a low-carb, high-protein snack. Make several ahead of time and fill with things like turkey, avocado, cheese, hummus and more.
