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!

Having a cup of tea in the afternoons while watching Netflix!
My most common way to relax is through music, but my most favorite way is with wine & a bubble bath! 🙂
One of my favorite ways to relax is snuggled in bed with my 2 dogs. Their love is the ultimate relaxation medicine.
electric throw, glass of wine and a good book!
I can always relax with yoga pants, my dog, and a good book!
I relax by sipping coffee and reading your blog!
PJs, couch and a good movie:)
Always a blanket being cuddled up on the couch.
I always choose Bikram yoga to help me relax and unwind
So many things! Yoga, completing my to do list, putting the kids to bed 🙂 sitting with my husband and catching up on the day, tv, blanket, couch.
After a stressful day of work enjoying a glass of wine while curled up in a blanket in a big cozy chair is a great way to unwind 🙂
I like to relax with a nice glass of wine and a magazine.
I love making a hot cup of mint tea in the afternoon or before bed – that always helps me unwind and slow down my brain!
A good book & a fire!
The PJs 🙂

A warm cup of Sleepy Time tea!
A nice warm cup of tea really helps me take my mind off my day, paired with a good book or magazine, and the couch!
My favorite way to relax is to sit on the couch and catch up on my bloglovin! And a glass of wine never hurt 😉
Yoga! Always feel relaxed after a good session!
Sounds crazy but walking my big 85 lb. lab relaxes me and slows me down. Unlike my other two dogs, he likes to stop at every mailbox in the neighborhood and sniff everything and if there are leaf piles in the street, we end up stopping at ALL of them! It forces me to slow down and enjoy the scenery and his utter enjoyment. It’s nice to take a relaxing stroll with him and enjoy the outdoors!
Sitting on the couch with my puppy and marathon-ing a new show is my favorite way to relax. I work a lot so this only happens once every 2-3 months.
long walks and cuddling with my parents dog (i need my own dog!)
Hey Julie!! When I get keyed up and need to unwind, I of course hit the gym, go for a run, do yoga or enjoy curling up on my couch with my favorite furry friend. One of those Anthropologie blankets would be wonderful to curl up with 🙂 Have an awesome Thursday!!
Nothing better than a good book and a cup of tea, but sometimes a long run will also do the trick!
yoga and/or wine!
A glass of really good wine and catching up with @Midnight!
All these snacks look fantastic! Especially the pear one – yum!! I always like to unwind with a candle lit, a cup of coffee and possibly some French cafe music. 🙂
hot cup of tea and a good book/movie and snow:)
Getting outdoors and walking my two labs helps me unwind and breathe!
Unwinding for me, means getting into my yoga pants and sitting down with the hubs to watch Big Band Theory… A rough day just floats away while we laugh…
Cuddling with my puppy!
Comfy pajamas!
sweatpants, wine and a blanket!
I love sitting down with a hot cup of tea.
My relaxation cure is a good book, calming music, a big cup of hot tea! Relieves any kind of stress there is!
my hubby and I have established a perfect Saturday morning routine- sleep in till 8AM then one of us will take the dogs out and then brew coffee to sip on in bed cuddling with the pups, it takes the stress of having to get up and do something right away and sets a great tone for the day and rest of the weekend, I look forward to it each week!
A candle, blanket, and extra large sweatshirt always help me to unwind and relax… especially now that winter is upon us
