A better answer to the 3 PM craving

The afternoon slump often leads to the vending machine. The wheel offers a mix of healthier and indulgent snacks, such as apple slices with peanut butter, roasted almonds with dark chocolate, vegetables with a dip and popcorn.

Spin when you notice you are hungry, not bored. Drink water first, then snack.

Keeping it balanced

Add your own favorites, and balance protein, fiber and fun. If you have allergies, remove anything unsafe. Parents can build a wheel of approved snacks for children and let them spin for their afternoon treat.
