Miranda, of Emm8Apparel, has some tasty tips for studio-appropriate snacks.
According to science, chewing stimulates brain activity. (I thought I had made this up but turns out it’s real. Look it up.) So I can’t think of a better time to eat than creative time!
There are just a few guidelines to follow when snacking in
the studio: nothing drippy, sticky, greasy, stain-y or crumbly. For me, this
means mini wraps. Here are a few of my favorites with clever titles just for you guys.
The Classic Kid-Comfort: A crunchy roll up fluffer-nutter
Ingredients: flour tortillas, marshmallow fluff, natural
peanut butter, Cheerios
Spread a spoonful of marshmallow fluff in the center of the
tortilla. Spread half a spoonful of peanut butter just beside the
fluff. Sprinkle with Cheerios. Roll and engulf.
The Do What Now?: Random ingredients = yum
Ingredients: flour tortillas, cream cheese, chocolate chips,
craisins, chopped walnuts (optional)
Spread ¾ of the tortilla with cream cheese. Sprinkle
chocolate chips all over (I usually use about a tablespoon per tortilla).
Microwave for 10-20 seconds. Sprinkle craisins and walnuts on the cream
cheese/choco chip meltyness. Roll and devour.
The Healthy: Eat your vegetables
Ingredients: flour tortillas, hummus, spinach, chopped bell
pepper, shredded cheese (optional)
Spread the whole tortilla with a thin layer of hummus. The
spread helps to keep bits from falling out of the roll while you eat. Layer on
spinach, pepper and cheese like you are making a taco. Add shredded cheese if
you so desire. Roll and feel good.
