3 protein-packed snacks you can make in minutes
Stuck in a snack rut? Look no further.
But while it's tempting to load up on starchy, carby treats (hello, vending-machine pretzels) for a quick fix, they're not super filling—leaving you at risk for some serious hanger later on in the day.
That's why we teamed up with Hormel to share three delicious, protein-filled healthy snacks that will keep you full until dinner.
And because they're served on a stick, they can double as fun appetizers at your next party, or make a cute addition to your kid's lunch box. Besides: Everything tastes better on a stick, right?
