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!

I love cuddling up with my pup to relax 🙂
