When you’re hungry and busy, it’s very tempting to reach for yet anoher chocolate bar or biscuit. Prepare these healthy snacks ahead of time, so you have something to munch on that will fuel your brain.

Celery Sticks

Wash celery sticks and strip out the longer, tougher fibers if you wish. Cut them into thirds, and then scrap cream cheese, peanut butter, or hummus down the center of the celery. These are ultra-quick, tasty, and refreshing due to the water content of the celery.

Passion Fruit Twist

Cut a passion fruit in half and using a spoon, scrap the flesh and seeds away from the skin. Drizzle a spoon of honey and a spoon of tahini over the flesh, mix gently and then spoon out and eat. When mixed gently, this snack is not too messy and packaging free, so it can be made on-the- go!

Ham And Cheese Rolls

Take a slice of ham, spread thinly with cream cheese and sprinkle over with chopped gherkin. Roll up into a cylinder, and if you’re not eating it immediately, pin in place with a cocktail stick. High in protein and very tasty, this satisfying snack will keep you going through an afternoon of back-to-back meetings.

If you’re a fan of big-batch cold brew coffee, you might be used to buying concentrate in big bottles from the store. Having a bottle of cold brew concentrate in your fridge is super convenient because it lasts a long time and you don’t need to worry about brewing—you simply water it down and drink. But store-bought cold brew can get expensive, and it doesn’t let you customize the coffee to your liking. Here’s how to make your own concentrate to push your coffee game to the next level with the same amount of daily convenience.

Ratio and Grind

Because this is cold brew concentrate, the ratio of coffee to water will be quite high. You can use anywhere from a 1:4 ground coffee to water to a 1:2 ratio if you want it really concentrated. Grind the beans relatively course, around how you’d grind for a French press. If you buy locally and can request grind size, ask for a French press or cold-brew-sized grind. If you are buying your coffee pre-ground, this method will still work fine, but you may find the coffee a bit silty and a bit bitter.

Method

There are many different methods to cold brew, but most of them are some variate of pouring the water over the ground beans and leaving in the fridge for 12-24 hours. The longer you can leave them, the stronger your brew will be (up to 24 hours). Once it’s been long enough, strain your coffee through a cheesecloth or coffee into a jar or bottle. For even simpler cleanup, brew the cold brew directly into a French press, and then simply pour into your jar or bottle. Your cold brew concentrate should last for around 2 weeks at least.

We have many reasons not to love plastic bags. They are bad for the environment and often so thin they rip as soon as you put something in them. But sometimes the produce section of a grocery store doesn’t give you an option – the only thing they offer for packing delicious fruits and vegetables are said plastic bags.

If you’re even a little bit crafty, you can make your own produce bags from non-plastic materials and carry them with you when you go shopping.

You can use the materials recycled from the things you already have, such as t-shirts, so the cost of making them is really negligible. The video below shows you the process.
