Favourite Fall Snacks

So I don't know about you but when it's dark outside and cold. I feel like eating loads, I get weird cravings for food in large amounts. I have found some snacks that keep you full and easy to make when you're craving food!

 TOP 5 HEALTHY SNACKS

1. Crackers! With Hummus!

These could be oat cakes, ryvita, cream crackers, rice cakes or another ones! I live to dip these in hummus. It's a great dip for crackers it contains great omega 3 fatty acids. Helping with intelegence and a healthy heart!  It has loads of vitamins and contains ingredience that can help you to feel happy!

2. Fruit

Sounds like a obvious one but fruit has so many benefits. It has natural sugars that keep you alert. They contain vitamins that keep all your body healthy. Their convenient to snack on, no preparation needed! 

3. 0% fat yogurt

Yogurt is a favourite. It has all the pro-biotic goodness! It is creamy and if you get 0% or low fat yogurt it's often under 100 calories for a pot! Tasting like a dessert but healthy? What?... A favourite of mine is 'vitaltiy' read about it here-

4. Granola

So granola, where do I start it is so convenient to poor a cereal in a Tupperware box and take out. Fantastic with yogurt and protien with nuts! Crunchy and addictive it is a sweet but 'give me more' taste.

5. Pretzels

Now wether these are the mini ones or the large ones. Everyone loves a pretzel. It's important because these are more of a treat to not have them to often! They contain a lot of salt but are so yummy! I like the mini ones in mini bags! These are convenient and easy to take away. Also you have clear nutritional values!

10 Tasty Tips

10 tasty tips for anyone wanting to be healthy..

1. Almonds, we know almonds are good but a 30g serving gives you 160 calories. They contain heart healthy fats. Lowering your risk of heart disease.
2. Dip in something else, change your fatty sour cream into something more like hummus or black bean dips. Raw vegetables like carrots and celery are great dipers!
3. DIY, skip yogurts with fruit already in. Jam is mostly the filler, containing as much sugar as a fizzy drink so buy your own and put fresh berries in.
4. Suck a mint or chew gum. This can satisfy your cravings and will leave your breath fresh!
5. Change up your garnish. Use healthy garnish to make bland food scrumptious. Worcestershire sauce is a great one!
6. Spice it up, adding a little spice will make you eat slower and this will increase you metabolism.
7. Drink the milk, in cereal your milk may absorb vitamins leaving you with no vitamins if you don't drink the milk!
8. Honey Honey Honey, Pure honey contains a huge amount of vitamins so put that on instead of Nutella or chocolate spread for a perfect start to the day.
9. Enjoy a bit of dark chocolate! This was a surprise to find that dark chocolate can be good for you with all the anti-oxidants! 
10. Brain Juice! A gulp of orange juice in the morning can kick start your day in the right way
