Today's Snack Attack


Having a mid-day snack attack? Try this:

1 Tbsp peanut or nut butter of your choice
Sprinkle of unsweetened coconut flakes



The peanut butter and coconut contain good fats that stimulate brain activity to keep you alert and energized. If you are concerned about sugar or salt intake choose a nut butter that is unsalted and raw. 

You can also easily make your own nut butter. Here's how:

What you need:
Food chopper or processor
Desired type of nut
Tsp of honey

~Chop nuts until they become a mealy texture
~Add in honey
~Keep blending until you have a smooth consistency. Add in more honey if needed. 
I have also made nut butter with just water instead of honey but I find the honey adds a nice sweetness.
