Nuts - Containing healthy fats, protein and fibre, nuts are the perfect snack. They can help to balance our blood sugar which is a great way to keep your energy levels stable, reduce cravings and avoid that hangry feeling. Berries - berries are the perfect option if you have a sweet tooth. Yes, fruit contains sugar but it also contains fibre, crucial for supporting gut health, and a whole host of vitamins & minerals, including vitamin C, so can't be compared to sugar you'd get from drinking a large cola. Berries are an excellent source of phytonutrients and can provide a range of health benefits. Dark Chocolate - ideally 70% cocoa or higher. Containing less sugar and more minerals than milk chocolate, it's the more nutritious option.
