Everyone’s had a snack attack. You’re bored, you’re overthinking something or maybe you’re sincerely hungry. Your natural instinct is to eat whatever’s within arm’s reach. The problem with that is that you could fall victim to processed-beyond-imagination food that has no real evidence of being food. Fight back by attacking your snack spell with a fistful of fully recognizable, protein-packed trail mix.
