Healthy Snack Recipes

Snacking is really important to most people, and if you get hungry it is important to have something
healthy to eat. Many people find themselves hungry whilst dieting and rather than deny your stomach it
is important to eat, as long as it is healthy snacks.

Most people will think of snacks as chocolate and crisps, and their opinions will not extend beyond
that. However there are many other snacks which are far better for you. Here are a few:

Vegetable sticks
Carrot, celery and cucumber are absolutely great raw and dipped in houmous (regular or flavoured).
You could also try vegetable sticks with a drizzle of olive oil.

Walnuts
These are really great, and can taste really great dipped in a little honey or by themselves. Any kind of
nuts are really great, especially best without salt.

Fruit
One of the best things to have when you are hungry is a piece of fruit. This is a cheap and incredibly
healthy for you. The best kind of fruit to can recommend is an apple, a banana or an orange. Although
these pieces of fruit are normal, they are the original and tested.

Berries
These things are fruit of course, but they are especially high in anti-oxidants which keep heart healthy.
Blueberries and blackberries are especially nutritious, but any kind of berries are good.

Sorbet
This can be really good for you, especially if you get one that is additive free. This is better than
ice-cream as it has no dairy products, and is also mostly fruit. You could also try making your own
sorbet, or how about making frozen yogurt which is also very healthy and nutritious.

Oat cereal bar
There are many cereal bars now which are organic, which means you can guarantee that all the
products are natural. Oats and dried fruit are great for your digestive system aswell.

Ryvita and salmon
Take some ryvita, spread with a little sunflower spread and then a slice of smoked salmon. Perhaps
top with a little cream cheese or cucumber.

Dark Chocolate
A few pieces of dark chocolate are really great for you, much better than milk chocolate, as it relies on
its bitter taste rather than a sweet sugary one.
