10 Easy Real Food Snacks – No Baking Required!
Do you get stuck for quick and easy, but nutritious snack ideas? Although I don’t have the desire to snack too often these days, sometimes I feel like a little something extra, particularly when I have been more active than usual or I am at certain stages of my menstrual cycle. Unlike me, my three-year-old loves to snack!
In the past, I would grab a piece of fruit, or some crackers to snack on, but always feel hungry again within no time! Now I try to ensure I am including protein and/or good fats when preparing a snack for myself or my son, so that it not only satisfies the hunger, but also fuels our bodies with beautiful nutrients.
Here are our top 10 easy real food snack ideas, that require no baking!
