Have you ever opened the fridge or pantry for an evening snack thinking you have nothing that looks remotely appetizing? This used to happen to me all too often. After a few minutes of blankly staring at the lack of options, I would grab a disappointing and unfulfilling snack, usually some pretzels, an apple, or some carrots, thinking that would do the trick. After eating a few hundred empty calories, I would always go back for something more and far worse (think sugary cereals, candy/chocolate, cookies, chips, etc).
Finally, after many failed snack attempts, I decided to do something about it. My ideal bedtime snack tends to be sweet, so I wanted things that would curb my sweet tooth - something light, nutrient packed, and effortless. Here are my five go-to recipes that are sure to leave you satisfied after just one trip to the fridge.
