I remember sitting at my 8th grade graduation {yes, that’s a thing} getting so excited to start high school. There were quite a lot of reasons to look forward to starting a new school of course, but what I looked forward to the most was the freedom.

You could pick your own classes, sign up for sports, and park wherever you wanted. I was incredibly dismayed to learn there really wasn’t so much freedom after all. I mean, you couldn’t even in eat in class. Blasphemy. How was a growing teenager supposed to last 3 whole hours between first period and lunch? Don’t even get me started on how long you had to wait to eat if you had last lunch. Torture. Just torture.

I quickly learned to keep my locker stashed with snacks I could quickly grab and chow down on in between classes. I’ve always been a snacker and don’t see anything wrong with that- it’s a great way to keep from getting too hungry and scarfing down more food than you need later in the day.

Here are some of my favorite quick and easy snacks:

Spinach Dip

Homemade Hummus

No Bake Oatmeal Truffles

Banana Bread Muffins

And for something sweet: Cinnamon Twists

Thank goodness you were allowed to eat in class in college. 😉
