So for us it is the snacks that we find the hardest when eating healthy...knowing you have a pack of mini eggs but you know they are bad for you...
Anyway as I said the snacks are the hardest to feel satisfied but in this post we have shown you what we do it that is yummy and easy to do!
The first image of the yoghurt bark is delicious although I would say it is best eaten around summer time as you can eat it like ice cream. It cools you down and definitiley fills you up. For some strange reason we both felt full after eating a piece?! Anyway it is super easy to do you just spread Greek yoghurt on a baking tray with grease proof paper and then add your desired fillings on top! We used pistachios and raisings and a sprinkle of rolled oats! This tastes even better with maple syrup on top after it has gone in the freezer to harden for 3 hours!
Next is fruit! Fruit is delicious and actually exciting to eat! If you make a fruit salad or have fruit and yoghurt as a quick fuel snack it keeps you energised and satisfied throughout the day until meal time! That is saying something there! Me and Kirsty would have never had said that about 2 months ago but after eating fruit you feel clean (if that makes sense) and you feel refreshed and a lot happier!
Dark chocolate! Now if you don't like 80% dark chocolate you basically don't like chocolate! Anything under (and yes I know it says 70% on the packet, but that's all we had) is basically bad for you! 80% is more natural and definitely satisfying. After 2/3 squares you are normal again, no cravings! Amazing right?! Luckily me and kirsty enjoy eating 80% and over chocolate otherwise we would probably be going for the unhealthy alternatives!
Now onto the drinks!
Me and Kirsty aren't drink enthusiasts, we are the people who order water from a restaurant and nothing else 'exciting'. We don't drink fizzy drinks and we haven't for about 2 years. We just said one day lets stop drinking fizzy drinks to prevent spots (because unfortunately that's what us teenagers get as presents!) Anyway our drink ideas are lemon water and green tea! If you aren't a water fan add fruit (lemon) to your water and you will be more happier with what you once considered a bland drink to now a tasty drink! Lemon is a great antioxidant as well so stock up on them!
Green tea! Now we Love green tea however it is to a required taste. It kind of tastes just like hot water but with some sort of twang?! So not everyone likes it but thankfully we do! And again green tea is a great antioxidant!
Hope you enjoyed today's post! Hope you are now inspired to swap your refined sugars for better alternatives?! Although me and Kirsty do still eat a naughty treat from time to time we have definitely added more nutritious snacks to our diet!
