Simple Meal Ideas

Snacks

If you eat three healthy meals a day you're much less likely to feel the urge to snack. However, if you find yourself feeling peckish, feast yourself on these simple healthy snack ideas.

Popcorn

Savoury

Try swapping crisps, which are high in fat, salt and calories, for savoury snacks like plain popcorn, crackers, rice cakes, oatcakes, breadsticks or why not, baked crisps.

Carrot and celery sticks

Vegetables

Chop carrots, celery, peppers and cucumber into bite-sized sticks. They're great to nibble on, whatever you're doing. Click here to watch our Simple Ideas with Veg Video.

Scones

Sweet Snacks

Cakes and biccies are best eaten in moderation. If you want a sweet snack, try lower-fat, lower sugar yoghurts, fromage frais or a small scone, currant bun or slice of malt loaf with a reduced fat spread. They are often lower in sugar than a chocolate bar but might still help your craving for something sweet. Or there’s fruit. Bananas, apples and tangerines are delicious and easy to cut into snack-size pieces. What about grapes? Or raspberries?
