50 Snacks • 5 Ingredients or Less • Under 5 Minutes

Because eating well shouldn’t require a blender, a spreadsheet, or an extra hour you don’t have. Just real food quickly, and a little less overthinking.

Somewhere along the way, snacking became a project.

It used to be an apple. Maybe some nuts. Now it feels like every snack needs a label, a macro breakdown, or twelve ingredients you don’t have. Or it’s a “high-protein, low-carb, sugar-free” something-packaged that costs twelve dollars and still leaves you hungry an hour later.

I keep wondering when food became so complicated. When did eating turn into another thing to optimize or feel guilty about?

Most of the people I work with aren’t struggling because they don’t care about their health. They’re struggling because life is busy. The time it takes to make the “right” choice just doesn’t exist between getting kids out the door, finishing work, and trying to drink enough water before 5 p.m. And that’s where the cracks start. Not because anyone’s doing it wrong, but because the modern version of wellness has made simple nourishment feel out of reach.

Our bodies don’t need perfect. They just need food that actually feeds them. A little protein, a little fat, a little fiber. Something that tells your body, you’re okay, you’re supported, you can calm down now.

I’ve learned that the biggest shift in wellness often comes from the smallest choices.

Consistency beats complexity every time.

So I made something I wish I’d had long, long ago. Fifty snacks. Five ingredients or less. Under five minutes.

Not because we need another guide, but because sometimes we need permission to make things easier again. This is for the days you’ve had three cups of coffee and forgot to eat. For the moments you want to feel well but don’t have it in you to go big.

The idea is just quick, real food that gets you back to feeling energized one small, doable choice at a time.
