    If you are a big snacker, then you might find yourself getting in a bit of a snacking rut sometimes and running out of healthy snack ideas. In this post, I have shared some of my favourite healthy snack ideas.

    I have always snacked, but in the past it would have been chocolate and cookies or even a meal that I pretended was just a snack. It can be a bit of a minefield, especially when the diet industry throws so many "healthy" snack pack options in our face that they tell us are healthy (most of them are not). Snacks can be really healthy and they can actually help you to lose weight.

    Saying that, a lot of people still seem stuck when it comes to healthy snack choices and I get asked a lot what snacks are best and what snacks I eat. I can't give advice as to what is "best" as that depends on the individual, but here are some of the things that I snack on and that I try to keep on hand (You can click most of the ideas to take you to the recipes).

      I tried your recipes here and I really like the sweet and tasty chocolate snacks. I also have to recommend here the bentilia pasta I have been matching with the recipes I tried here. It's purely organic and it really suits in the taste buds of my niece and nephews.
