Healthy sweet snacks: Our berry granola bites
Craving something sweet? It definitely pays to understand why you’re thinking about sugar (tiredness, boredom, habit) so you can start to make changes to your lifestyle/diet and rely on it less. But for those times when you don’t even wanna question it, just make a smarter choice instead. Here are the top snacks that work for us.
- A couple of Medjool dates (we rate Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference) with a little almond or peanut butter spread on top
- Greek or natural yogurt with some fresh or frozen raspberries stirred in
- Frozen slices of banana or frozen berries (cherries are particularly good)
- A homemade matcha green tea latte with organic dairy milk or almond milk
- Half a small avocado (it sounds bizarre, but experts say good fats help to control blood sugar levels – and we agree)
- A fresh lemon, ginger and honey tea
- Greek or natural yogurt with half scoop unflavoured whey protein powder stirred in and 1 tbsp cocoa powder/raw cacao powder
- An apple, sliced, with a little almond or cashew butter spread on top
