If you have three minutes, you have enough time to make these three flavorful and absolutely delicious snacks!
Today I am teaming up with The Laughing Cow® to share a few simple snack ideas and fun food pairings. As I mentioned in my previous post all about savoring snack time, The Laughing Cow is working on a new initiative to encourage people to sit down and enjoy their snacks rather than rushing through snack time every day.
I figured that coming up with three super-simple snacks that take only three minutes to assemble would help give me more time to sit down and enjoy the snack I prepared rather than inhaling it and rushing off to complete the next thing on my to-do list.
Three Three-Minute Snacks
- Honey Pear Crunch Bites
I actually came up with this combination a couple of weeks ago as I was making dinner. Ryan had just opened a bottle of wine and we wanted a simple snack to savor together while we waited for our main meal. This sweet and salty snack was creamy, crunchy and tasted great with a glass of white wine. I just topped a few pear slices with a thick spread of The Laughing Cow Original Swiss Cheese Wedge before adding a sprinkling of walnuts and drizzle of honey.
- Pizza Crackers
To make this snack, simply spread a generous amount of The Laughing Cow Creamy Mozzarella, Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Cheese Wedges onto a cracker of your choice. Top with turkey pepperoni and a black olive. It’s the perfect snack for days when you’re craving pizza or a salty snack!
- Apple Cinnamon Tortilla
It doesn’t get much easier than this! I love this snack on its own but also think it makes a great breakfast if you throw in a handful of nuts. Top a whole wheat tortilla with two of The Laughing Cow Original Swiss Cheese Wedges, apple slices and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Love it!

Cuddling with my dog!
After kids are in bed, sitting down with no technology and having an actual conversation with my husband. Thanks for the chance, Julie.
I have twin infant girls and don’t get many relaxing moments. However, when I do, I love warm baths
Taking slow, meditative breaths always helps me slow down and relax.
The honey pear crunch bites look delish!
One thing I love doing at night to relax a bit is to foam roll and lay on my living room floor stretching – usually as my dog adamantly shoves her toys at me and tries to play! Helps me to unwind and get out any stress of the day 🙂
Lighting my favorite anthro candle and sipping on some tea while watching the Voice 🙂
The quickest way for me to unwind is to sit in absolute silence by myself for a few minutes. Away from the kids, TV, and any other household noise makers!
Snuggling with my puppy and indulging in a nice bowl of ice cream!!! Bonus if I get to do both while under a warm blanket!
Awesome giveaway! I just moved from Fl to DC and it’s freezing here – those gifts would be amazing! Praying in silence helps me relax. I have two small kids, so it’s nice to have some quiet time to myself.
I love to relax with some episodes of Friends, a glass of wine, and my pup! Nothing better than that 🙂
I’m heading straight into finals in about two weeks, so this is the perfect giveaway for me right now! One thing that really helps me unwind is stretching or watching a light-hearted movie.
Nothing helps me relax and unwind quite like a warm hug from my husband after a long, hard day at work!
I normally enjoy taking my puppy out for a walk in order to relax but sometimes that isn’t possible living in Buffalo, namely the 5 feet of snow that has recently accumulated! When weather prohibits a walk outside, I am just as content snuggling on the couch in my comfiest pajamas while watching an addicting Netflix series.
A hot cup of tea makes me slow down and unwind!
Christmas music!
The snacks look delicious! Cooking dinner helps me unwind after a long work day.
When Fall hits and we can have a fire going in the fireplace, so cozy!!!!!

Bubble baths! They are sooooo relaxing! Or napping with the pup 🙂

An evening in yoga plants with a glass of wine…works every time 🙂
