We all get late night cravings whether it be at 9:00 p.m. or 1:00 a.m. It can be hard deciding what to eat at these hours of the night and because it is late you probably want to eat something relatively healthy.
So instead of diving into that container of mint chocolate chip ice cream or grabbing that bag of potato lays chips, try one of these snacks that are easy to make and will satisfy your late night craving whether it be salty or sweet.
1. Popcorn & M&M’s:
This is probably the easiest snack and it will for sure satisfy your salty and sweet craving. Popcorn will satisfy your salty craving and is better for you than a traditional potato chip. While adding in some M&M's will satisfy your sweet craving. It's a surefire way to beat that late-night craving.
Ingredients:
1 bag of your favorite Popcorn (I like Skinny Pop)
1 small packet or handful of M&M’s
Instructions:
Put the popcorn into a bowl and add in the m&m’s and enjoy!
2. Banana Peanut-Butter Chocolate Bites:
Now, this little snack is sweet and is a healthier take on ice cream. Creamy banana and peanut-butter and sweet chocolate is an unbeatable combination.
Ingredients:
1 banana
Peanut-Butter
Dark Chocolate
Instructions:
Slice banana into small pieces
Spread the peanut-butter onto each slice and sandwich together
Put the little sandwiches onto a wax paper and freeze for about an hour
Then while your sandwiches are freezing melt your chocolate in a double boiler
Remove the banana bites from the freezer and dip each banana bite in the chocolate and put back on the wax paper
Freeze for an hour
Keep in the freezer until your late night craving hits!
Enjoy!
3. Yogurt With Toppings:
Yogurt is another great alternative to ice cream. It satisfies that sweet creamy craving and is the perfect late night snack. Adding in all of these toppings will give your yogurt a twist and make a perfectly sweet, crunchy and delicious snack!
Ingredients:
1 cup of your favorite yogurt
1/4 cup raspberries
1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Sprinkle with your favorite granola
Honey
Cinnamon
