Dear ,

Cravings are your BEST body's WORST enemy.

And even people with steely willpower have difficulty fending them off.

Of course, the first key in controlling cravings is to ensure you're eating nutrient-dense meals that are rich in healthy fats and protein and low in sugar and carbs.

But what about snacks to help bridge the gap from mealtime to mealtime?

Creating Healthy Snacks That Nourish & Satisfy

While many people do better on a three-meal-a-day schedule, others (including those with low blood sugar issues, higher metabolism or greater calorie needs) do better eating smaller, more frequent meals.

If you're one of those people, finding healthy snacks that fill you up (without adding too many calories) can be a challenge. .. 

• Soaked and dehydrated or lightly roasted almonds are a good option, but many people find they gain weight eating whole nuts as they are very easy to overeat.
   
• Roasted/leftover meats can be great choice, but are similar to lunch and dinner and a bit on the boring side.
   
• Smoothies made with the right ingredients can provide a bevy of nutrients and protein, but liquid snacks are not as satiating as solid foods, often leaving you hungry again.

In my quest to find the perfect snack food - one that would fill me up, provide powerful nutrients including satiating fat and protein, while being a little bit "decadent" - I came up with this easy recipe.

It is also a wonderful way to sneak superfood avocado into your diet - even those totally averse to it won't detect a thing.
