Snack time

Snacks help to keep us energised and tide us over until our next meal so we’re not eating when we’re ravenous! Even better if those snacks can help to provide us with some nutrition along the way. Here are a collection of our favourite snack ideas:

  • Grainy crackers (chose options with >6g fibre per 100g) topped with:

    • 2-3 edam cheese slices & gherkins

    • Cottage cheese and tomato

    • Hummus and tomato

    • Peanut butter

  • Veggie sticks (carrot, cucumber, capsicum, raw broccoli) with hummus or cottage cheese

  • Homemade tail mix: broken up pieces of dark chocolate, mixed unsalted nuts, coconut flakes

  • Handful of unsalted nuts

  • Piece of grainy toast with peanut butter

  • Smoothie (1 cup of milk, 2Tbsp yoghurt, handful of fruit, 2Tbsp rolled oats, 1tsp chia seeds)

  • Chia pudding (see recipe here)

  • Piece of fruit

  • Unsweetened yoghurt (chose options with <10g sugar per 100g) with frozen raspberries and a sprinkle of muesli / unsalted nuts
