As a SAHM mom of a 7-month old and a 3-year old, I need to have quick foods on hand for meals, snacks, etc. to stay on the bandwagon. Sometimes I get in a rut eating the same thing or start resorting to processed food. Please post your favorite FLAVORFUL quick eats here....minimally processed preferred. Thanks! :)

    Houmous is dead easy to make from scratch - good for you, satisfying and you know exactly what's in it. I always have some in the fridge and have it on toast/crispbakes/raw veg depending on how I feel.

    1 tin chickpeas
    1 tablespoon tahini
    4 tablespoons of lemon juice
    1/2 tablespoon of the water from the tin
    1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    1/2 tablespoon garlic puree

    This recipe makes 3 portions of around 150kcals.

    Whizz it up using a stick blender until it's smooth and lovely.

    (add extra garlic/lemon juice/coriander puree/some harissa if you fancy)

    My favorite late-afternoon snack is 2 lightly salted rice cakes, each with about a teaspoon of natural almond butter...very yummy, healthy and filling!

    Whole wheat toast. You can keep it from getting boring by changing what you top it with-- low sugar jam, low fat cream cheese, peanut butter, whatever!
