Snacking is good for you
To keep your metabolism running high and your energy levels optimum, ensure you have a healthy snack whenever you feel hungry. One mid morning and mid afternoon is usually about right. Here are some healthy suggestions:
* Oatcakes or rice crackers with hummus or tahini
* Rye crispbreads with a little Manuka honey or nut butter
* Any type of fresh fruit (bananas in moderation, say every other day)
* Crudites: florets of broccoli and cauliflower, pepper, cucumber, carrot and celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, mangetout, baby sweetcorn, radishes, spring onions - dipped in hummus if preferred
* A few dried dates, apricots, mango pieces, apple rings, or figs (unsweetened and unsulphured varieties)
* A small handful of sultanas or raisins
* An avocado, halved, stoned and mashed in it’s skin
* A small handful of nuts: almonds, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, pistachios, brazils, pecans
* A small handful of seeds: pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds
* A few olives
Happy snacking!!
