I'm not traditionally a snacker, but have gotten into the habit of eating around 4pm at work, as I find that it nourishes me enough to either workout OR go home and cook for an hour before dinner. For the past two weeks, it has been cooking and not the gym that has gotten my love. This next week I'm scheduled to eat out every day of the week, so I plan to use my post-work time to get in a good workout instead. I think the key to that being a successful plan will be a consistent 4pm snack break.
Vanilla Date Breakfast Smoothie
(1/2 cup yogurt, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, 1 cup ice)
Apples with Parsley and Pomegranate Molasses
This was a lucky accident. I chopped up too much apple to fit into my lunch salad, so I fished out some slices that had been mixed with a bit of parsley. Drizzled with Pomegranate Molasses (I found mine in Whole Foods near the honey) it was out of this world.
Kale Chips (with low-fat scallion yogurt dip?)
I didn't bother with the dip, because kale is all-powerful and no dairy in the world could stand up to its might. But also because these were so crumbly I don't understand the logistics of dipping them.
Take a bunch of kale, washed, and cut out the center ribs. Toss with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and lay flat on a cookie sheet. Roast for 30 minutes at 250.
Cashew Butter on Rye Crisp Crackers and an Apple
Self explanatory. It's nice that they sell the individual serving nut butter packs, but I need to remember to pack a tiny spread stick (like the ones that come with your cheeze-n-crakers).
