Snack Time!: Apples and Almond butter

I always have a snack between meals. If you don't understand why, I will tell you right now. Do you have just three little meals a day? Aren't you still hungry? Well, that's not really healthy. Sure, its lowering the calorie rate, but you are making your body lack nutrients that it needs. Can it affect you in the long run? Probably. I usually eat about every three hours, here are a few reasons why.

  • It boosts your metabolism.
  • Your not hungry all day.
  •  You get more nutrients (Depending on what you eat) and it can help you prevent future health problems.   

So, Now that we've gone over that, lets get to the snack!

Ingredients 

  • Any apples that you like eating
  • Berryhill All natural almond butter
  • A butter knife
  • Another knife to cut the apple (or an apple slicer)

Steps

  1. Get your apple, wash it and then dry it
  2. Use the other knife or an apple slicer and cut the apple into 6 parts.
  3. Get out your butter knife and get some of the Almond butter, putting it on the apple slices one by one until your done with the amount you want to put
  4. Enjoy!
