Healthy Snack Recipes

Snacks are so important when you are wanting to eat a healthy diet, as these can completely change your metabolism
and therefore the rate at which your body burns fat. Read on to find out more about what kind of snacks are the best kind.
One of the most difficult parts of some diets, is a complete withdrawal of snacking, but it can be very beneficial to eat
little and often, as long as you choose
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

Frozen Bananas
Simple cut a banana in two, then put a skewer through it. Pop in the freezer and enjoy later that day as a summery
snack. Don't leave it for too long, or the banana will start to go bad!
