All about Healthy Snacks
A healthy snack gives you energy between meals without too much sugar or salt. Good choices include fruit, yoghurt, carrot sticks, wholegrain crackers, hummus and a small handful of unsalted nuts if you are not allergic.
Snacks work best when they include some protein, fibre or healthy fat, because these keep you full for longer. Keep healthy snacks in your school bag so you are not tempted by sugary options when you are hungry.
They give you energy between meals and help keep you going until your next meal.
Try to choose snacks that are not too high in sugar or salt. Prepare snacks in advance, so that you have something healthy ready when you feel hungry.
