Stupid-Simple Salubrious Snacks
May. 9th, 2017 02:13 pmHere are a couple things that are so quick and easy to make you'd think they were bad for you:
'CAN'T BE BOTHERED' LUNCH PEAS
A bunch of frozen peas
A ball of fresh mozzarella
Colman's mint sauce*
Stick at least a cup of frozen peas in the microwave for no more than two minutes, stir, then one minute at a time, stirring between, until they are hot and bright green. Once they start turning olive-colour they're overcooked.
Whilst microwaving, cut up your mozarella into cubes. If you're only making a side portion of peas, half a ball will do.
Put the mozarella in with the peas, add a nice dollop of mint sauce, and stir. LUNCH: SORTED. I can generally get this made and eaten and dishes washed in 15 minutes; good healthy filling lunch for busy days.
*I am not usually a name-brand type person, but Colman's is noticeably better than the Sainsbury's own brand, so I will fork over for it
NEED DESSERT CAN'T GET PASTRY
1 kiwifruit
3-4 ginger biscuits
plain yoghurt
Cut your kiwi in bite-size pieces into a bowl, then break up your ginger nuts and add those. Pour as much yoghurt over as you think makes a nice balance between liquid and solid. Let sit for a minute or so to soften up the biscuit pieces, stir, and snaffle.
