Guys, This 5 Minute Cheese Mix. This cheese snack mix is one to end all snack mix recipes. And I know this as I have pretty much tried every cheese snack mix recipe out there.
I cant begin to tell you how many times this cheese Snack Mix has saved the day.
I have pulled it during ‘we are popping in in 10 mins for an impromptu visit’ days, the ‘crap I forgot that we were invited to a picnic’ day, the ‘we need something easy for movie night’ days and the ‘what do I bulk up my lunch box with’ days. #totallifesaver.
Okay. Let’s just chat and get this next bit out of the way now. This is a non-recipe recipe. It is more like the little black dress of snack mixes. One you know you have when you need it that can be accessorized with lots of things depending on the occasion.
The bonus about this snack mix is that is lighter on calories than usual snack mix recipes but it is still packed with great fiber to keep the hunger at bay. Serve it alongside anything, including fruits, cocktails, mocktails, infused water and even more snacks. Kids, big and small will really love it.
