Snack Attack: 60-Second Broccoli Salad

I absolutely LOVE to snack!  In fact, I usually rack up more calories a day from all of my snacks than from my 3 "meals" combined.  [Side note: I use the MyFitnessPal app on my iPhone to log my calories in and out each day, love.this.app.]  Although that sounds a little crazy, I purposefully eat small meals to allow for my love of snacking.  



Obviously, I just love to be eating almost all the time.  In an effort to continue fitting into my skinny jeans, I am constantly looking for low-calorie yet satisfying snacks.  Enter: my 60-second Broccoli Salad.


Disclaimer: This is NOT a HungryHubby-approved recipe.  ;)


This is my go-to after school snack when I'm alone and craving something crunchy yet healthy.  AND EASY.  I can make a seriously delish broccoli salad with all the bells and whistles, but this is for when you just want a snack NOW!


All you need is 3 ingredients...
Raw Broccoli + Raw Cashew Pieces + Light Miracle Whip 
(or light mayo if you aren't an MW fan like I am)
    + 


Cut the broccoli and dump into bowl (or just tear the pieces off like I do because yes, I'm THAT lazy good with my hands).  


Grab a little handful of cashew pieces and dump into said bowl.  


Add a squirt of Miracle Whip, about a tablespoon.



Stir it up, and crunch away!



No, it's not as good as real broccoli salad, but my taste buds think it's pretty damn yummy.


Do you love to snack as much as I do or are you a 3-meals-a-day type?
