If you are desperately trying to manage time and have a healthy diet, you are not alone. Who can do that? One day you nail it with a scrambled egg brekkie and the next day you are a muffin-on-the-run-kinda-gal. The consistency is that you have no consistency, right?
Try these ridiculously fast snacking alternatives. Each recipe can be frozen into three individual bags for your busy week – simply blend them quickly when you wish. So. Amazing.
