Healthy snack idea

Snacking is so important and keeps us going between meals.  I love to snack and here is an idea for another snack that can easily be taken on the move with you or had at home.  I won't take any credit for this idea as it is a famous healthy snack but it is one of my top snacks!

All I have done is chop an apple and put some peanut butter on oatcakes and added a bit more protein in the form of a mini cheese.
Such a simple snack that provides some key nutrients and should keep you going for a while.

Healthy snack idea

Ok so I like to snack, I think most people do and I find it really difficult on my day off to not pick at whatever I can find!  I try to overcome this by having lots of ready prepared snacks or snack out on the counter and then if I want to pick I tend to gravitate more for things that are out!An idea I started using at Christmas seems to have helped me a lot is nuts!  Everyone knows the health benefits of nuts and how having a handful with your snack is beneficial to you.  The best nuts are still in their shell so when the supermarkets put them out in November I started to put them out too!

I leave this out on the counter and it has stopped my unhealthy nibbling habbits!  It takes me so long to crack the second nut while I'm eating the first one that I don't overeat and the health benefits are great!

Healthy lunch idea

I get very bored f always having the same things for lunch and I went to my friends for lunch the other day and she served up a lovely lunch which I had today minus one thing! 

As you can see I have a quite large salad that contains lettuce, cucumber, red and yellow peppers, tomatoe and avocado, this was topped off with a balsamic glaze.

Then I had some wholemeal pitta strips with a lemon and corriander humous which provides a longer lasting fullness.
The only thing my friend did differently was a lot less salad but she had some falafel with it, which is delicious! 

I'm always on the hunt for new lunch ideas, what do you have when you are at home for lunch? x
