Healthy snacks

The Yoga Wellbeing team love to think, talk and most of all eat food. We were having a winding chat about whether we should add a couple of  ideas about healthy snacks instead of just recipe ideas. We are a collection of grazers and love to plan what the next snack will be. We have scribbled down our top ten healthly snacks through the week.

snacksNutty nuts – There are good for you in nearly every way. Our nut of the moment is the almond. It can feature on your morning cereal or could just be popped into your mouth.

Houmous

Jarvis Cocker ordered two crates of it when he was touring with Pulp. Rock and roll. Whichever way you look at it, it’s the most perfect dip in the world. Made up of cooked chickpeas, with a dash of garlic and, if you choose, tahini, which is a great source of calcium. Try chopping some celery or carrot and enjoy a healthly dunk.

Smoothies

Blended fruit drinks – also known as ‘Smoothies’ – have, in the last few years, become a popular ‘trendy’ lunchtime alternative. Here is a basic recipe:

  • 4 tablespoons low-far bio yoghurt.
  • Some fruit-juice.
  • Some fresh ginger (optional).
  • Some soft fruit (bananas, mangos, kiwis, papayas, cucumbers, that sort of thing).
  • We will be happy to hear your thoughts
