13 Recipes for Mid-Day Snacks Made with Only Three Ingredients 

Snacks are a big part of our everyday life. They are that little kick we need in between meals that keeps us satisfied and gives a little boost of energy! The problem becomes when we choose unhealthy snacks because our lack of time prevents us from making healthy choices, so we simply grab the first snack bar from the store, fully ignoring the fact that it probably has many questionable ingredients. Change the way you snack by committing to making these three-ingredient snacks every day of this week!
