Cheap & Easy Snacks

/

Summer snacking can be super dangerous! Especially, when that delicious bag of Cape Cod chips is sitting in your pantry to serve along side your kids burgers and hot dogs for lunch time. Just one little chip wont hurt anyone right? Yes, you are correct but who can really just have one chip? This is why I had to share my cheap and easy summer snack-prep for you. 

SHOPPING LIST

  • eggs (hard boiled is the best way to store them)
  • 2 grilled chicken breasts 
  • 1 Haas Avacado 
  • 1 head of romaine lettuce
  • 1 lemon

NJAPP Pro-Tip: You can eat the above snack options all together or seperate. Either way, stick to a higher protein/good fat snack choice and just say "NO" to those chips. Happy Summer!
