[ 2 apples with a swipe of soy butter & a sprinkle of ground flaxseeds ]
My eating schedule is sometimes tricky; between working two jobs, blogging, working-out, my dog, friends, Michael & family time [ !!!!! ] it’s rare that I have time to sit down & eat a full meal. I am always looking to create new snack ideas that are nutritious & time efficient, so this sliced apple snack is on the top of my list. I took this in to work the other night & all my co-worker’s stole a slice.
Quick Skinny Tip: Justin’s Nut Butter [ I like the almond butter ] is a delicious substitution for peanut butter too. And the small packets fit right in a purse or wallet!
[ Granny Smith apples ]
[ Soy nut butter tastes just like peanut butter with less fat ]
[ Ground flaxseed contains lots of omega-3 fatty acids ]
[ An ideal snack choice ]
What exactly is the benefit of flaxseeds? I see it everywhere on healthy living blogs but no one seems to fully explain the benefits!

Hey Meghan:
These are the benefits of ground flaxseeds [ these are easier to digest than whole flaxseeds ]:
+ They’re high in fiber.
+ Flaxseeds create a “full feeling.”
+ Help reduce the risk of heart disease.
+ Contain omega-3 fatty acids [ these fatty acids aid in menstrual pain & help with depression! ]
+ They help relieve constipation [ they substitute as a laxative ].
I hope that helps!
Thanks for bringing this up, and thank you Lauryn for the list of benefits, was very curious about this as well !

I can so relate. My eating schedule is just crazy. I don’t really follow a schedule and it really depends on my availability and the workload. Thus, these easy to prepare and quick snacks are my lifesavers. Can’t wait to try these.
Great healthy snack idea! Great taste too
