Alright folks, so yesterday evening I was hit with that classic “I’m hungry but I don’t wanna cook a whole meal” feeling. You know the one. So I decided, screw it, let’s whip up some super easy snacks. And lemme tell you, it worked out great, so I figured I’d share what I did.
First up, the avocado toast game. It’s like, the ultimate quick snack.
- Started by grabbing a ripe avocado. You gotta get the squishy ones, not the rock-hard ones.
- Cut it in half, pulled out the pit (carefully!), and scooped the good stuff into a bowl.
- Mashed it up with a fork – didn’t go crazy, just wanted it a little chunky.
- Added a squeeze of lemon juice (stops it from browning, plus it tastes awesome), a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper.
- Toasted some whole-wheat bread. You can use whatever bread you like, really.
- Slathered that avocado goodness on the toast.
- Then, and this is the key, I sprinkled some red pepper flakes on top. Gives it a nice little kick.
Seriously, this took maybe 5 minutes tops.
Next, I went for something a bit sweeter: Yogurt with berries and granola. Super simple, but hits the spot.
- Grabbed a container of plain Greek yogurt. I like Greek yogurt because it’s got more protein.
- Dumped it into a bowl.
- Threw in a handful of mixed berries – blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, whatever I had in the fridge.
- Sprinkled some granola on top for crunch. You could add a drizzle of honey too if you’re feeling extra sweet, but I skipped it.
Done and dusted. Another 3 minutes, max.
And finally, because I was still feeling a little peckish, I did the classic cheese and crackers.
- Pulled out some cheddar cheese and sliced it into cubes.
- Grabbed some crackers from the pantry. I had some whole-wheat ones, again.
- Arranged them on a plate. Boom.
This is like, the laziest snack ever, but sometimes you just gotta go for it, you know?
The Verdict
Honestly, all three snacks were super satisfying and took almost no time to make. Perfect for when you’re hungry but don’t want to spend ages in the kitchen. Give ’em a try!
