People have different relationships with 3:00 pm. The kids love it, out of school for the day! But for adults, it clocks the countown until rush hour. 3 can hit you so hard all you want to do is nap, but with the right snack you will be energized to get through the rest of the work day and feel good about it! An important thing to snacking right in the afternoon is getting your fats in! It's important that you have that fat so your brain can do its job. Now, saying that, you want the right fats, not a candy bar or slice of pizza. Hummus (made with edamame) and veggies will leave you satisfied, both hunger wise and mentally.
