Are you short on time but need something healthy to eat?  Are you looking for an easy snack that you can grab on the way to work or before heading to the gym?

Here are 4 healthy snacks that are ready in less than 5 minutes.

Don’t be fooled, though, this more than just hummus and carrot sticks.

As a trained chef, my standards can be high.  As any episode of a cooking show will teach you, the goal is to achieve balance.  From fine dining to brown-bagging, if you can incorporate three essential elements into a dish, you’ll be on the road to delicious:

  1. Texture – Should include both crunchy and creamy
  2. Taste – Should include both sweet and savory (aka salty)
  3. Temperature – Ideally, you get a dish that marries something warm with something cold

Even with these standards, though, you don’t need fancy food.  Or food that requires a lot of time and fuss.
Just because you only have 5 minutes to eat, doesn’t mean you need to compromise flavor.
Get snacking!
