Apple + Peanutbutter + Granola = *Snack time* for this hungry girl!

July 14, 2011 by Amanda R DeWitt

Good Afternoon,

This is no ordinary snack…you may want to share with a friend or use as a pre-workout or post-workout meal because it is very filling.  ๐Ÿ™‚

Pretty simple to create this sweet, creamy, yet crunchy snack!

First you take an apple…

 

 Slice it…or use a nifty apple corer (is that a word??) and CORE IT.  This is one of those utensils I have used a whole two times…but it is fun!

 

Looks like a {flower}.

 

 

 Add your peanutbutter (preferably creamy) and sprinkle granola on top!  I used the same granola that I am in LOVE WITH as in my post rightfully called Bear Naked Granola.  Love the granola, love the idea behind the company.

 

Very filling and delightful snack on a summer day!  I used it today to fuel for my “ellipticizing” tonight.

Before you scarf down your “snack” beware of the calories.  A recommended snack is usually less than 200 calories…more like 150 calories or less.

Calories: 320
Fat: 17.4g
Carbs: 36.8g
Fiber: 6.7g
Protein: 10.4g

Aaand here’s more info (with a pretty graph)!  From http://www.fitday.com/.

The pie graph shows the percentage of fat:carbs:protein.  Ideally, in a day, there would be:
Carbs: 45-65%
Fat: 20-35%
Protein: 10-35%
So this is would ideally have a little less fat, and more good carbs. ๐Ÿ™‚
 
{More info on nutrition percentages: Proteinaholics}
 

Hope you try this quick delicious and nutritious snack!

What do you use as a pre/post workout snack??

Have a happy, healthy and blessed day!
