We can hardly think of something more annoying than having to spend 3 euros for a bottle of water and 5 euros for a dry muffin or an energy ball in the airport. 

If you only do it once in a while, it's fine obviously, but for those who tend to stop in petrol stations or cafes on a daily basis, the bill can become outrageous at the end of the month.

Of course, fruits such as apples and bananas are a great option for snacks on the go as they are cheap, nutritious and easy to carry around, but sometimes, it's not enough to satisfy our sweet tooth… 

Because we know you prefer to spend your money on nice dinners out, makeup or trips with your friends, we have gathered some easy, tasty and healthy snack recipes you can make at home and keep in your bag for when you are feeling a bit peckish.

1. Apple pie energy bites

2. Mocha no-bake cookies

3. Three-ingredient no-bake peanut butter oat squares

4. Chocolate oatmeal cupcakes to-go

5. Almond butter granola bars

6. Hazelnut and goji oat bars

7. Blueberry banana muffins

8. Tropical white chocolate energy bars

9. Healthy raspberry lemon mini muffins

10. Key lime pie energy bites

Eating a big tub of ice cream while it's warm outside is one of life's little pleasures.

But when you're broke AF, it can be hard to come to terms with spending €8 on, well… anything.

So, when we came across this homemade coffee ice cream, we legit jumped for joy.

Not only is it homemade, but it's dairy free and only has FOUR ingredients.

Spotted by the Daily Mail, a wellness blogger under the name My Crazy Good Life has created the coffee ice cream and it looks so delish.

All you need is 3 to 4 sliced frozen bananas, a strong cup of espresso coffee, honey and vanilla extract.

You literally just have to blend all of the ingredients together, freeze, and eat!

It takes one hour to set, so you know, by tonight you could be chilling at home with a glass of vino and some homemade ice cream!

We all love chocolate. There's nothing better than coming home from work and having some toast with chocolate spread on it. Pure bliss, right?

Well, what if you could make your own? We have the basic recipe here but if you want to change it up a bit for your own taste, then go ahead.

Sure, what diet?

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 115g of chocolate (70% or your own choice)
  • handful of hazelnuts
  • 140g unsalted butter, softened and cubed
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar (granulated, honey, maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Method:

1. In a saucepan, mix the water, sugar, salt and cocoa powder. Place pan on a medium heat and stir until the sugar and powder dissolve. Continue until it reaches a simmer.

2. Once simmered, remove from heat and add vanilla extract, butter and chocolate. Combine until the mixture is completely smooth.

3. Pour into a jar with an air-tight lid and refrigerate until thick (if eaten straight away it will have a hot fudge consistency).

The egg is a pretty major player in the kitchen.

But many people only go so far as to scramble them with a bit of added salt. Not the most exciting dish, right?

Considering they cost next to nothing, the egg is a brilliant food that will go with nearly anything. 

So, if you want to spice things up this weekend, look at these delicious egg dishes:

Spring Vegetable, Goats Cheese and Ham Frittata

Fresh veggies make this frittata a breakfast staple during the colder months. And it looks gorgeous too!

 

Egg-Drop Noodle Soup

Use quick-cooking ramen and store-bought chicken broth to get this hearty rendition of the Chinese-restaurant classic on the table in a jiffy.

 

Huevos Racheros Salad

A bright, sunny-side-up fried egg steals the show on this Southwestern salad topped with queso fresco, cilantro, and a citrusy black-bean-and-tomato salsa.

 

Coffee Creme Brulee

To create the signature shell covering this creamy, coffee-infused custard, sprinkle with brown sugar and broil until bubbly and deep brown.

 

The Ultimate Homemade Mayo

Put a tasty spin on this beloved condiment by choosing one of these lively variations.
