Avocado Tomato Salad Snack

So many of us grab packaged snacks that are not really good for us (not to mention the environment). Next time, you're hungry - take a peek at what's really laying around your kitchen.

There is all sorts of affordable and real food to snack on: 🍌 bananas, 🍎 apples, veggies, avocados, nuts.... I'm even going to throw in 🍞 bread, 🧀 cheese, pickles, and cold cuts.
