Hey lovelies.
I'm no expert when it comes to healthy eating and I cant give you any tips on dieting either. However recently I have changed up my snacking habit and have found some better alternatives to munch at when it comes to that time of day and we all get a little peckish.
Smoothies are amazing for snacks because they're tasty, and quick and easy to make. These fill me up for ages too. You can control what goes into them and make it to your exact taste which is great because it means that you control the amount of sugary or bad stuff that goes into them. One of my favourite recipes is;
A handful of frozen mixed berries
1 banana
A form of yoghurt
3 mint leaves
Coconut water
It tastes amazing I promise! Smoothies make a great quick breakfast too!
Let me know if you want a post dedicated to recipes.
I'm not really a fan of chocolate yoghurts or anything too sickly. However me and my mum discovered these in Tescos the other week and didn't think much of it when we put them in the basket. I ignored these for days when they were sat in the fridge and when I first tried one I became obsessed instantly. Smooth toffee is by far my favourite. I usually have these around 7'o'clock after dinner, if I'm hungry.
(ps that's not mould its the sticker I left it on..oops)
I used to love having cracker bread with hummus but that's become boring to me as it's all I'd ever eat. I've always been a lover of avocado and I mashed up some avocado and spread it like a paste over some cracker bread, now I'm hooked. This is the perfect 'after school' snack and it fills me up right up until I have dinner which is between 5-6.
Snack-a-jacks are back to being my favourite snack again. I went through a phase of loving caramel snack-a-jacks with peanut butter and banana on top. Around Easter I completely forgot about these and hadn't had them since until a two weeks ago. I'm currently loving caramel snack-a-jacks and there new ones chocolate chip. Admittedly they look gross, but they're so tasty.
Fruit seems like a pretty obvious snack but I always used to overlook it! I'd have it with breakfast and lunch, but when it came to snacks I forgot it even existed. My mums recently started placing a whole bowl of fruit on our dining room table which encourages all of us to pick it up as a snack.
Since reaching for these snacks over things like chocolate and biscuits I've started to feel much confident and healthier in my self. My skins looked so much better too. I've never been unhealthy when it comes to meals it was always snacks that were my problem.
I hope this helped you discover some healthier snacks!
