Healthy Protein Snacks You Can Make At Home
If you are anything like me time is a rare and precious commodity. I am constantly on the go, working on different projects, running around town to different auditions, and sometimes it can be difficult to fit in a healthy meal. The last thing I want to have to do is stop by a fast food joint. Thankfully I was able to find this recipe for healthy protein snacks that I can easily make at home and then carry them with me when I am busy running around town or even when I have to drive out of town for auditions.
Sure I can always just buy protein bars at the store, but the money I save by making my own healthy protein snacks at home can be used towards head shots, acting classes, gas for running to and from auditions, demo reels, and the list goes on and on. Being an actor is much like running a business and there are a lot of expenses that come along with any successful business. So the more expenses I can trim the more I can apply towards my acting career.
These healthy protein snacks can help curb the appetite while providing much needed nutrition. Check out the recipe below.
