A tentempié refers to a small snack or light meal that is typically eaten between main meals. It provides a quick source of energy and helps to curb hunger.
Think of a tentempié as a mini recharge station for your body, just like how you plug in your phone for a quick charge when it's running low on battery.
Merienda: Merienda is similar to a tentempié, but it specifically refers to an afternoon snack or tea time in Spanish-speaking countries.
Desayuno: Desayuno means breakfast in Spanish. It is the first meal of the day and provides essential nutrients to kickstart your morning.
Almuerzo: Almuerzo translates to lunch in English. It is the midday meal that helps refuel your body and keep you energized throughout the day.
