Like they say, it takes two to tango! One ingredient snacks are just kind of boring sometimes. They certainly serve their purpose but sometimes you just need that extra excitement in your life. When you pair a food item with its best partner, then well–they are dancing all over your taste buds! Other than these snacks tasting great, they are healthy, easy to make and you probably already have the ingredients in your pantry. Plus, some nutrients need other nutrients to absorb into your body efficiently, so really pairing up your snacks is a win all around.
Remember the days when your mom would pack you peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch or have one ready for you when you got home from school? This snack will take you down memories lane every time while leaving the carbohydrates in the bread basket.

Yogurt is a great snack but in order to make it taste good, companies add in sugar or fruit to make it desirable to eat. There is no need for that extra sugar when you could add some protein powder to your next yogurt to make it taste just as good as any sugar added yogurt at the store.
