Many of us are eager for a warm summer in Boston, but we are expecting another winter storm. As the temperature drops, we want to eat comfort food that often has high calories such as macaroni and cheese or creamy soup. We do this because our bodies generate heat as it digests the food we eat, and certain food will make us feel warmer than others. However, we can always choose some healthy food to eat and warm us up. Here is a recipe that people of all ages will enjoy and it is a great after-school snack. Let One for Health help you find the best healthy and nutritious snack for your kids to eat on chilly days and a few easy tips to prepare them!
