In this chilling weather, there's nothing quite like enjoying a warm cup of tea while watching the snow fall outside, bundled up in cozy layers. Having the perfect snack to accompany that tea would transform this serene moment into pure bliss. During this holiday season, when you have parties and gatherings to attend, and all the sumptuous food to indulge in, you might be a bit concerned about the extra calories that the evening snack would add on. Well, you don't have to worry about it any. Here are some guilt-free snacks you can pair with your tea.
Oatmeal cookies
Tea and cookies are a match made in heaven. While, cookies are perfect for this season, munching on them would load up the calories. Instead of traditional cookies opt for oatmeal ones. You can prepare these cookies with heart-healthy oats. To avoid the sugar crash use dates, and raising. With almonds and a few dark chocolate chips to sprinkle, you have a guilt-free cookie. Pair it with a warm, aromatic chai or a steaming green tea and indulge.
Oven-roasted chickpeas
Crunchy, savory, and packed with protein, chickpeas make a fantastic winter snack. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, sea salt, and spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika, and bake until crispy in the oven. This crunchy snack will go perfectly well with a robust black tea or a calming herbal blend.
Pumpkin or zucchini muffins
There's something comforting about freshly baked muffins, especially during the winter. Instead of traditional muffins, which are high in sugar and flour, go for pumpkin or zucchini-infused muffins. The pumpkin or zucchini will add extra moisture and nutrients. You can add dates or a dash of honey for sweetness. A touch of cinnamon and nutmeg will fill your home with a comforting scent that's perfect for pairing with a cup of tea. Read More
