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!

Nothing helps me relax like a nice cup of tea!
snuggling with my puppy helps me relax 🙂
To relax, I like watching movies!
Getting into my pjs, lighting a candle, drinking tea and snuggling on the couch with my bf while watching a movie always makes me relax. So much so that I almost always fall asleep during the movie no matter how good it is!!
Snuggling with my three year old is my favorite way to relax, hands down! Love the snack ideas – I’m a huge LC fan!
Snuggling with my dog and/or hubby on the couch with a nice book and glass of red wine!
curling up on the couch with my guy and dog, while watching a little Big Bang Theory, always helps me to unwind
My nightly ritual of a cup of tea and some reading before bed helps me to relax and get ready for a restful night.
The rare occasion I do get to relax and unwind is always spent snuggled up in my bed with my favorite soft comfy throw and a good tv show or movie.
Snuggling with my babies helps me rewind and remember it is the small things in life that matter (even as they grow)
Snuggling with my cat!
i think yoga if i can make myself do it
A bubble bath is the best relaxer for me! I recently purchased one of those Rewined candles thanks to your recommendation! Love them!
A book, a cup of tea and a pair of earplugs 🙂
Running, a hot shower, lavender, and hearing the ocean (reminds me of being home in Southern California :).

I love making popcorn and snuggling on the couch with my husband watching the office.
Reading always helps me relax and slow down – whether it’s before bed or outside in the middle of the day. I sometimes even will pull out at book at lunch at work if it’s been a particularly stressful day.
One thing that helps me relax is slowly sipping my morning cup of coffee while browsing the internet. Love it!
Walking is very relaxing to me. I prefer running most of the time as well as fast paced workouts, but walking always helps me reconnect.
I relax either by cuddling with my 92 lb lapdog (he is the SWEETEST “little” thing) or by going for a run.
Making a hot cup of tea in the evenings and petting/snuggling with my sweet pup Scarlett are the two things that can always help me to take it down a notch and relax. 🙂
