Healthy Snack Ideas

I'm really enjoying my healthy eating at the moment, I feel like I have a lot more energy, I've cut out a lot of overly processed crap and am finding a balance with food that is better for me as well as still being tasty.

I thought I would show you some of the things that are living in my cupboard for grabbing when I need a quick snack. I keep a lot of these items in my desk at work for when I need them.

Caramel or chocolate coated rice cakes - I didn't think I would like these but they are amazing! I picked these up in the free from aisle in Tesco and keep these in my desk when I'm at work or in my bag when I'm out and about - perfect as a little pick me up.

Graze boxes - I love these, I've been getting them for ages and I adore them. I love that these are all calorie counted out so you can easily track them plus there is such a wide range of boxes - my favourites are the popcorns, flapjacks, beef jerky or all of the dippers - especially the caramel dipper! you can choose how often you want delivery and then chuck them in your bag and you're good to go!

 Fruit - My arch nemisis, I'm really not keen on eating fruit, I'm really fussy about texture of food and fruit has bits in it so I only pick 'smooth' fruits that I can make into a smoothie or eat quickly but it wouldn't be my first choice of snack!

Peanut Butter - Since taking the pictures for this post I have discovered Pip & Nut peanut butter and it is love! I've always loved peanut butter but paired with apple, in a smoothie with frozen banana or just straight from the jar and I'm happy, perfect for a quick energy hit!

So there are some of my favourite healthy snack ideas, I have a load more if you would want any more ideas! Would also love to know what snacks you go for!

Friday Fitness - Graze Boxes

Evening all, hope your well, thankfully it's Friday which means another fitness post!


This week I wanted to write about food. As some one who is over weight, food is a big deal with me, I have a love hate relationship with it, especially snack foods.


I first read about Graze in a magazine and thought it would be a waste of money and I wouldn't like anything. However on a forum there was a discussion about it, and loads of people were posting codes for free boxes and raving about it! So I decided to do a bit more research, and visited the website and the principle of it was great:
4 perfectly balanced snacks designed to regulate blood sugar abs fill you up! So for a free box, I signed up!


That was 6 months ago and I'm still loving them. I get one box a week, and these are my snacks for school, I need them to get me through the end of the day until tea part of the day! 


This was my box this week:

Its a real mix of chocolate, berries, nuts and crackers! My favourite it the Jaffa Cake box, I actually had that today! 


For £3.49 per box, you can really go wrong! The box comes with a lovely leaflet with all the nutritional information I need for my weight watchers. It also gives me an update of what other things I could get. I also get an e-mail to let me know, and to ask me to rate what I get.


The website allows me to rate what I like and don't like, as well as letting me say what I love! 


If you want to know more then go to the website here. If you want to receive your own box, and fancy a free box and then a half price box then use my code: Y584TMM.


So here it is, another week closer to half term, and another fitness post. I hope your all well, and thanks for reading xx
