There comes a time about every four years that people around the world go about their lives like zombies. They are half-asleep constantly and have a hard time focusing on work or school. The only “cure” is to sit them down in front of the TV, and let them watch the most anticipated sports events live!

Apart from sleep-depriving, getting into the international soccer craze is also a potential health hazard because of the unhealthy snacks we usually eat while enjoying the match. Why not replace the chips, fried chickens and fizzy soft drinks with healthy snacks for a change? Below are two easy-to-prepare healthy recipes:
