Today's Healthy Snack: peanuts & fresh figs

Hello, and welcome to this week's healthy snack suggestion. It's been a while since I posted about healthy snacks but, truth be told, summer is the best time of the year for this kind of meals. First, you have a huge array of fresh fruits available. And second, the heat and the fact that we are mostly busy outdoors make healthy snacks that you can take with you anywhere a must.

This post is part of The Year of "Healthy series (read about it here) and today I'm sharing one of my favorite summer snacks: peanuts and fresh figs.

Of course this snack only works if you're not allergic to peanuts (fortunately no one in our family is). If you are, replace the peanuts for any other nuts that you are ok with, or use some sort of dried fruit instead.

The purpose of the The Year of Healthy Series is to share healthy snack suggestions, recipes and other tips that will contribute to make 2017 the year of #healthy. 

I've created a specific page for the series, which  includes links to all the related posts shared here on the blog, for easier access to the content.
