Friends, I don’t know about you, but I often find myself in need of a little afternoon “pick-me-up.” Most days, I’m good and ready for a break from my to-do list around 2:00, which is the perfect time for a Tea Break. Yes, friends, sometimes I do honestly drink something other than coffee. Especially as the weather warms up, I enjoy a big ol’ glass of Sweet Tea. And now, it’s available from Snapple! Their new Straight Up™ Tea combines a real brewed tea taste with the perfect level of sweetness for you to enjoy anytime.

It’s available in 3 levels of sweetness: Unsweetened, Sorta Sweet, and my personal favorite, Sweet, and comes in an 18.5 oz bottle, which is perfect for when you’re on the go. On Thursdays, when I volunteer at LC’s school, it’s so easy just to stick one in my bag and go! The plastic bottle is portable and convenient, and the tea itself is the excellent quality I’ve come to expect from Snapple. In addition to a sweet drink, it’s also nice to have an afternoon snack as part of my break to give me a little extra protein and energy, like these Nutty Pretzel Logs.

They’re super quick and easy to make and are the perfect combination of salty and sweet.

Ingredients:
Pretzel Rods
Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
Chopped Pecans
Sliced Almonds

Combine nuts on a plate or in a shallow bowl. I like to chop my pecans extra fine in a food chopper and break the sliced almonds in half. You can also add or substitute other finely chopped nuts like peanuts or walnuts if you prefer. Dip the top half of each pretzel rod into the Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, then roll it in the nut mixture.

Simple, right? And oh-so-good! The sweetness of the chocolate is a great pairing with the Sweet Tea and the nuts provide protein to keep you going throughout the afternoon. Whether you’re at work, working from home, volunteering at school, running errands, or doing one of the other important things in your busy day, you’ll be glad you made time for a tea break!
