Most of us out there are snackers, whether we are at the office or on the couch it is difficult to not snack. We say snack away! Just choose the right ones. Here are 5 ideas that we love:
Graze Boxes
Graze boxes are great for a mix up in the snack routine. If you order a box you can eat the snacks throughout the day or even save them up throughout the week. The food is fresh and there is a variety of yummy foods on offer.
Hummus with carrot sticks / wholegrain pitta
Hummus is a delicious dip that can be made at home or bought from the supermarket (go for the low fat option) it can be high in fat but it is mostly heart-healthy unsaturated fat. Also it is high in protein.
Berries & natural yoghurt
Berries are full of fibre which helps you feel full, making you eat less (which is exactly what you want in a snack!) and
they are full of antioxidants. Why not take in a bowl of raspberries, strawberries, blueberries and cranberries to work and mix with some natural yoghurt.
Frozen grapes
Something we have been doing for a while is freezing our grapes! Jamie Oliver does it so we thought we'd try it too and we love it. By freezing the grapes the berries become sweeter and also the cold slows you down stopping you from over-eating.
Guacamole and tortilla chips
The avocado is a super food and proof that not all fat is bad for you! Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fat that is easily burned for energy. As well as many other benefits, avocados have been found in lowering your cholesterol. This can either be made at home or can be bought at your local supermarket (again opt for the low fat!)
What do you snack on during the day?
