]]>Greek yogurt is a rich source of protein, offering around 15-20 grams per serving. Pair it with a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts for an extra protein boost and added crunch. Nuts also provide healthy fats and fiber, making this snack satisfying and energizing.
Hard-boiled eggs are a convenient and portable snack that’s high in protein, with around six grams per egg. They’re also rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, vitamin B12, and selenium. Enjoy them on their own or slice them up and add them to salads or whole grain crackers for a quick and easy protein boost.
Cottage cheese is another excellent source of protein, offering approximately 15 grams per half-cup serving. Pair it with your favorite fruits like berries, pineapple, or peach slices for a sweet and savory snack that’s packed with protein and vitamins. The combination of cottage cheese and fruit provides a satisfying blend of protein, carbs, and fiber to keep you full and satisfied between meals.

]]>If you prefer your nuts to be flavored, you can mix up a seasoning. A sweet and spicy version involves combining sugar, salt, chili powder, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper, and tossing the nuts through. If you prefer something plainer, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle some sea salt.
Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Lay out the nuts evenly. You want your oven to not be above 300°F as roasting nuts at high temperatures can have a negative effect on the nut fat which is good for your heart.
Roast the nuts for around 45 minutes. Stir them once during the process so that each side becomes golden and toasty. Once done, allow the nuts to cool on the baking tray, stirring occasionally.

]]>We love Nutpods as a healthier alternative to traditional flavored coffee creamers, which are often filled with unhealthy oils. Their Toasted Marshmallow flavor makes a delicious addition to any cup of coffee or even mixed into a hot bowl of oatmeal in the morning.
The classic treat we love, made portable. Layers of Graham cracker and marshmallow pair perfectly inside a rich blanket of tasty milk chocolate. These bad boys can be eaten as is or popped in the microwave for a few seconds for a seriously indulgent treat.
Curl up by the fire and enjoy a nice evening inside with a glass of the new toasted marshmallow-flavored bourbon by Hotel Tango Distillery. It’s delicious on its own or served in a mixed drink with your favorite cola, juice, or eggnog.
