Ten Healthy Snack Foods

As well as three well balanced meals a day, Unislim encourage you to eat two healthy snacks per day to stave off hunger and keep blood sugars level – as well as our moods! If you’re not a ‘snacker’, you may think that’s a good thing, but not necessarily as many of us overeat, or eat the wrong foods by actually leaving it too long in between our meals. Then we feel overwhelmingly tired and hungry, causing us to reach for the wrong types of foods lurking in our food cupboards before dinner is on the table. The key is to get snacking folks – just choose the right ones! Here's ten healthy snacking ideas you'll love! Remember to eat one snack mid-morning and one mid-afternoon.

1) Low fat (FREE) yoghurt with some added fruit – for some wholesome energy!

2) Vegetable crudités with homemade salsa or hummus (see our recipes) – to shake-up your lunchbox!

3) Cup of homemade Unislim vegetable soup (try suede or butternut squash for something different) – if you’re starving and need filling up!

4) Two wholewheat Krisprolls or Ryvitas with a thin spreading of LowLow  – for a healthy, wholegrain snack on-the-go!

5) Ready-made fresh fruit salad (one you’ve prepared earlier and can dip in and out of throughout the day) – for something light and angelic!

6) A small handful of roasted mixed nuts or seeds (such as sunflower or pumpkin seeds) – for crunchy goodness!

7) A slice of wholemeal toast with peanut butter and chopped banana – for something sweet with your cuppa!

8) A bag of air-popped popcorn – for a ‘treat’ that’s low on calories and fat!

9) A handful of dried fruit (such as apricots , figs or cranberries) - for a quick, yet natural sugar fix!

10) Fruit smoothie (try blending mango with strawberries and freshly squeezed orange juice) – to boost your vitamin intake and ward off colds!
