Cooking Game: Midnight Snacks


Working late and getting hungry? It’s time to use your cooking game skills to create the perfect midnight snack.

Grilled Cheese – Nothing like a oozing sandwich to give you energy enough to finish the project. The cheese especially is full of protein which is great for sustained energy. Use wheat bread to make the snack even healthier.

Popcorn – A light snack that you can keep munching on for hours if you need to, popcorn is easy to make and easier to enjoy. Skip theater butter an go for a more natural variety to cut down on extra calories and fat.

Nachos – Grab some chips, cheese, beans and tomatoes and you can make your very own plate of nachos. In fact, you can add anything you want or skip the chips and add tortillas to make tacos instead if you’d rather.

Pizza – If your freezer is stocked with frozen pizza, this is the perfect time to take advantage of that stash. Cook one up and enjoy it. Just remember that pizza has a lot of calories, and calories this late at night might need a bit of extra burning off the next time you’re working out.
