Healthy snacks
Many of us choose whatever's on hand for a snack. It’s often a pastry or a bar from the vending machine, because there is no time for proper food at work and we want to eat something quickly.
However, it is worth taking a moment in the evening to prepare a healthy snack for the next day. A meal eaten at work, at school or away should be as nutritious as the one eaten at home. In addition, it can be even tastier than its store-bought counterparts!
So we have prepared a few recipe examples for quick and tasty snacks, just for you.
