Bell Peppers & Guacamole

Sounds weird, but it’s definitely delicious. Make your own guacamole with avocados, lime, onion, and cilantro. Dip your sliced bell peppers into this delish dip and crunch away on blood cholesterol levels to a healthy heart!

Roasted Chickpeas

High in protein, fibre, and several vitamins and minerals, these legumes may aid in weight loss by improving the feeling of fullness. Unquestionably a recipe to try:

• Drain a can of chickpeas and pat dry.
• Toss them in olive oil, sea salt, and seasonings of your choice, and bake on a lined baking sheet at 180°C for 40 minutes.

Apples & Peanut Butter

Apple slices with natural peanut butter make for a delicious, satisfying snack. If you haven’t tried this before, please do and let us know if you’d prefer it – we bet you’re going to say – nothing beats this!

Biltong

Biltong is a shelf-stable, high-protein snack you can literally get from anywhere to satisfy hunger during the day. It’s also rich in iron, an essential mineral for maintaining blood health and energy levels.

Greek Yoghurt

Plain Greek yoghurt is to die for! You’ll fall in love, eventually, if not instant. It’s also higher in protein than regular yoghurt, so we won’t recommend more than 175g per day… It’s loaded with calcium for strong bones and teeth, which supports the fact that one must add healthy fruits and nuts – granola or muesli…hmmm!

Popcorn

A healthy and very affordable snack that’s high in fibre and low in calories protecting our bodies against heart disease. Two cups (16 grams) of air-popped popcorn provide 62 calories, 12 grams of carbs, 2 grams of fibre, and several vitamins and minerals!

Hard-boiled Eggs

Eggs contain a small amount of almost every nutrient that you need, making them one of the most nutritious snacks and pretty convenient too! Eat just one of these yummies, and you’ll fuel your body with protein, iron, calcium, choline, and vitamins A, B6, B12, and D, among other nutrients.

Seaweed Snacks

You can buy several seaweed snacks from department stores nowadays, but the trick is to look for varieties with very few ingredients, such as seaweed, olive oil and salt. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, it’s exactly displayed in the image above – crispy squares sliced from sheets of seaweed that have been dried and seasoned. They are very high in iodine, which is a yes, sir! for thyroid health.

With such tasty options, you can easily stick to a healthy diet at home, work, and on the go. Stay energised and productive, Trojan fans!
