Hi everybody.
Welcome to my kitchen.
I'm Lennis and I wanted to share with you some snack ideas that I made and it takes
under half an hour to have all of these things ready.
And they are great for you to take to your office while you are working, or to take to
school and you can eat them between class, between classes, and or while you are running
around between going to school and going to work.
Or just picking up the kids and going home you will have this ready at home and you can
eat on this as a snacks while you are making dinner or you are making lunch for your, for
you and your family.
So you will see that I have some fresh cut vegetables like carrots and cucumbers.
They are so good and again it gives you that sensation that you are eating on something
but it doesn't add a lot of calories which is great.
I also have my favorite, which is sweet plantains, and you can check out my recipe on how to
make these sweet plantains with absolutely no oil and they take about maximum half an
hour.
So I'll put the information here above in the video so you can get it.
And again, it's easy to make, you can buy three or four plantains, slice them up, follow
my recipe and you can store them in your fridge and have them as snacks.
The other thing that I like to have for my fresh cut veggies is dipping sauces or I will
have some hummus, which is great for you.
Hummus has a lot of good fats and carbs and the protein that you get from the chickpeas
is just something that will fill you up, something that will keep you full for a little longer.
Or you can just mash some avocados or make your own guacamole.
I also have a guacamole recipe if you want to check it out.
Our just put some salt and pepper in your avocado and just mash it up.
And just put the seed or the pit inside and keep it in the fridge for like three or four
days, it will last, is great.
Other things you can do to have great snacks is to have some trail mix, homemade trail mix.
That way you can control how much of the sweet stuff you put in there because most of these
store purchased trail mixes have a lot of chocolate and a lot of other things that are
not that great for you.
So what I do is actually as part of my snack prep during the week I'll make a batch of
trail mix and then I will put them in little bags that have the day of the week when I'm
going to eat it and then that helps with portion control.
So if you are looking to snack but be a little bit more conscious about your how much you
are eating and your portions, this is a great way to keep that in mind.
And then you also have sweet potatoes, which I also have a recipe how you can make the
sweet potatoes with absolutely no oil and you put some seasoning in it and they taste
delicious.
And all of these things you can keep in the fridge for four to five days, they will last
that long and these are great snacks for you.
These are great snacks for your family.
They are great things that you can have available so you are not munching on cookies or potato
chips or things that are a little bit more processed or unhealthy.
So again, making of of these will take you less than half an hour.
Everybody has those 30 minutes that you can either do first thing in the morning when
you wake up and prep for the rest of the week before your whole family wakes up, or do at
night after everybody went to bed you can like make it at home, or you know, whenever
you have those 30 minutes you will be able to do this.
So my recommendation is if you have a big family just take three or four sweet potatoes,
three or four plantains, throw them in the oven and you know you will have all of these
ready.
Well, I appreciate you watching this video.
