Snacking

Although we encourage you not to snack between meals, we appreciate that breaking these habits might be hard!

Sometimes if you feel really hungry you might consider a small healthy snack that will help you avoid high sugar/quick carb snacks or an ultra-processed alternative.

It’s good to know your options for these occasions and have a plan in place for when you might need them.

Healthy snacks ideas:

• A small handful of plain nuts - avoid salted or those with flavoured coatings.

• An apple with peanut butter, or other nut butters if preferred. The crunchy versions are often more satisfying.

• A glass of kefir.

• A small portion of yogurt and berries. 

• Some crudites (cucumber, celery, carrots) with a small amount of hummus or a bean dip.

Fruit or herbal teas are a great way of avoiding snacking as they give you some flavour, fill you up and keep you hydrated.
