The Perfect Afternoon Snack–Ants on a Log

There are so many days where I find myself walking over to the fridge in between lunch and dinner. I don’t want to eat a big meal and I don’t keep chips or other processed food in the house, so it forces me to eat healthy snacks. Isn’t that ingenious idea? This is by far one of my favorite snacks to have. The crunchiness of the celery, the sweetness of the raisins and the creamy and saltiness of the peanut butter. This truly is a delicious treat. Did I mention the protein in the peanut butter helps to keep me full until dinner time?

All you need is:

Celery

Peanut Butter

Raisins

If you like these three ingredients and you have never had a chance to try this healthy delight, I would suggest giving it a try. You can’t go wrong.

I am always looking for new healthy snacks. Would you mind sharing your all time favorite healthy snack with me… please?

Peanut Butter Protein Balls

I don’t know about all of you, but I always feel like I am on the go. With a schedule like mine, I get to eat in between clients and at odd hours of the day. I usually live strictly by the book, my calendar that is. If i didn’t pencil it in, then I don’t have time for it.

These peanut butter protein balls are just the thing for me, they are quick, easy & delicious. It is easy for me to pop them in my mouth and just enough to fill my belly with all the extra protein.

All you need is:

1/4 cup of honey or (2T honey and 2T milk)

1/4 cup Peanut Butter

1/4 cup Energizing Soy Protein

1/2 cup Oat Meal

1/4 cup Rice Crispys

Mix the peanut butter and honey together in a pot on medium heat until melted. Add remaining dry products into the pot and stir until blended. Remove from heat and use a cookie scoop to scoop onto a plate or tray.

This is also a perfect snack for kids. I taste so good that they won’t even know that it is good for them.

Since I work from home I can easily have a snack without eating too much. I love knowing that I am eating something that is good for me.

Have you ever made protein balls?

Heart Shaped Muffin, Fun For Everyone!

It is amazing to me how you can do the same thing over and over again and never even think to try something new. Tweaking one small thing can change the entire look of your creation. Here I made a basic box of muffins and by adding a marble in between the muffin tin and the cake cup I changed the shape of the muffin from round to heart shaped.

This is an easy, yet fun way to change up your basic muffins. Just remember to only fill the cake cup up about half of the way because if you don’t it will all poor over the sides. Trust me, it is not fun LOL.
