Why a Snack?

- Hummus & Veggies & cold cuts: Grab a few slices of ham, jerky or any left over protein. Throw it on the side of your favorite crunchy veggies and dip them into hummus. It’s like a mini Mediterranean vacation for your taste buds!
- Protein shake + piece of fruit: This ones for those S*** days you just need to whack something back on the go and requires zero effort.Â
