Healthy snacks

Set yourself up for a great day with these 5 tasty and nutritious snacks

Snacking throughout the day is a good way to keep your energy and spirits up. These healthy and hearty snacks are simple to throw together in advance, and portable enough to take with you out the door.

 

Roasted chickpeas

Oven roasted chickpeas are a snap to put together, and they can be made sweet, savoury, salty or spicy to satisfy any craving.

Flexible fruit crisp

This recipe transforms fruit and a handful of pantry ingredients into a delicious dessert. The ingredients list is very general, and can be modified to suit whatever you have in the kitchen. Just about any fruit will work for a base, and most of the pantry ingredients can be substituted too.

Banana ice cream

Satisfy your sweet tooth and use up your overripe bananas in one go by making this easy treat! Frozen bananas blend up smooth and creamy, just like soft serve ice cream. You can enjoy it on its own, or try experimenting with any number of flavour combinations.

Flexible muffins

This simple muffin recipe needs only a few ingredients, comes together quickly, and can be made with endless variations. It's a great way to turn the last bits of dairy or produce about to go off in the fridge into a satisfying grab-and-go breakfast or snack.

Smoothie packs

If you got a great deal on discount produce and are looking for ways to use it up before it goes bad, smoothie packs are a great option. You can put them together in a few minutes, and they keep in the freezer for months.
