3 Quick And Healthy Snack Recipes
Snack Ideas: Macadamia Nut Bites, Coconut Cacao Chip Macaroons, Chocolate Coconut Date Bites
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m sharing 3 quick and healthy snack recipes that are perfect to take on the go, eat as a snack at work or in school, or enjoy at home.
I’m pumped because these healthy snacks feel like a cheat treat, even though it’s 100% Live Lean approved.
That means you can still enjoy these snacks, while saving your cheat meal for pizza.
I’ll be showing you how to make:

- Macadamia Nut Bites: so quick and simple to make because they only contain 2 ingredients.
- Coconut Cacao Chip Macaroons: these will make your mouth water.
- Chocolate Coconut Date Bites: such a super simple and clean treat.
I need to say this loud and clear.
Eating healthy does not mean you are banished to a life of bland food and expensive grocery bills from Whole Foods.
You also don’t need to make hundreds of time consuming trips to the grocery store a year.
When you’re Living Lean you’re not:
- Stuck on a boring diet
- Spending all your hard earned money on food
- Living your life at the grocery store
You can eat healthy, on a budget, and save time by shopping online for your food, then have them delivered to your front door.
