I realized that when I wanted a snack, not only was I hungry, but I wanted texture. Smooth and sweet or crunch and salty. I am still mourning the fact that organic toaster pastries are not a healthy choice, but I am finding better snack choices.
I’m always on the lookout for great snacks, so submit your idea below to add to this list!
