As we step into 2025, there's no better time to embrace healthier eating habits.
With the holiday season behind us, now is the perfect time to swap those tempting Christmas treats for nourishing snacks that support your health goals and help prevent weight gain.
Here are 5 delicious and nutritious snack alternatives to keep you on track:
1. Seasonal Fruits: Think mangoes, peaches and lychees. These nutritious fruits will help satisfy your sugar cravings.
2. Homemade Fruit Ice Blocks: You can easily make your own frozen treats by pureeing fresh fruit. These homemade ice blocks are free from added sugars and packed with fiber. If ice blocks aren't your preference, try blending the frozen fruit puree into a refreshing fruit frappe instead.
3. Vegetables and hummus: You can't go wrong with crunchy carrot, celery, and cucumber sticks paired with hummus—an excellent, healthier alternative to crisps.
4. Apple Donuts: Here’s a fun twist on a snack! Slice an apple into rings, remove the core, then spread your favorite nut butter on top. Finish with a sprinkle of your favorite toppings—whether it’s granola, chia seeds, or a dash of cinnamon—for a delicious and healthy treat!
5. Spice Blended popcorn: Grab some paprika, salt, garlic powder, cumin and Cayenne pepper. Mix together and sprinkle over fresh salted popcorn.
