There’s nothing wrong with snacking – and with healthy recipes like these, it makes snacking while hitting your health & fitness objectives even easier, without having to do much heavy thinking.
You can find all the ingredients at your local grocery store – no fancy stuff.

I like these because they’re great for those days when you’re spending time watching the game with family or friends, and you want to snack like everyone else without doing too much damage to your macros if you’re keeping things disciplined.
Here’s the recipe.

Nice and easy. Here’s the macros:
Like almond cookies, they’re high in healthy fats, which if you remember, help you in multiple ways – your heart, brain, and muscles all benefit here. They’re slightly lower on the protein mark but that’s fine if you’re hitting your numbers in other ways throughout the day.
