Sometimes, just sometimes cravings appear to be getting the better of you and no matter how much motivation you show – they eventually win. It is often sugary foods which tempt us out of our ‘’circle of trust’’ which makes you think, ‘’what if I could think of some snacks which would satisfy my cravings whilst keeping me on track?’’ You don’t have to; we have done the thinking for you!
Check out these 3 super tasty snacks which are also very wholesome and healthy!
Carrot Dippers
Everyone loves raw carrot, right? Sometimes the most refreshing, quenching food you can eat is a freshly pealed carrot – that CRUNCH makes it such a satisfying food to indulge in. So, for those times when you want to have a munch on something sweet and crunchy, try this simple little snack.
1 whole carrot (pealed) chopped into sticks
2 tablespoons almond butter with stevia added, stir
Get dipping!
A lovely sweet snack which actually is very healthy!
Chocolate Nuts
No, this isn’t the bit where we say it is OK to buy these from the supermarket. Instead, doing a homemade blend can be quite rewarding without the drawbacks.
6 squares of 90% dark chocolate (LOW sugar) organic, melted
Add 25g macadamia nuts
Add 10g flaxseeds
Stir thoroughly together to ensure the nuts are coated in chocolate and seeds, yummy!
Mousse
In the past I have often championed the use of quark cheese to help create a wide range of chocolate mousses. Today I am going to share another one with you which I think you are going to absolutely LOVE, but you might become addicted – it is that good!
75g quark cheese
1.5 scoop white chocolate protein
Handful of blueberries
Teaspoon natural (unsweetened) coconut shavings
1 teaspoon almond butter
Dash of water (teaspoon, not much more)
