Healthy Snack Ideas:
Fruit
Fruit is my number one go-to snack. It’s sweet, full of fibre (so filling!), and satisfies almost any craving I get.
- Grapes (fresh and frozen!)
- Apples
- Oranges
- Pears
- Bananas
- Watermelon (here’s how I pick a good one!)
- Persimmons
- Melon (honeydew, cantaloupe)
Popcorn
Popcorn is another go-to, and if you make your own it can be so healthy, light and filling! Here’s my guide to making your own Healthy Homemade Popcorn and afun recipe reel if you want to see it in action!
Other Snacks
- Hummus – with veggies and/or crackers, tortillas, etc.
- Rice cakes – with peanut butter and bananas slices, or hummus and greens
- Trail mix– buy pre-made mixes, or easily make your own using nuts, seeds, and dried fruit (add dark chocolate for extra sweetness).
- Nuts and seeds

Vegan Ice Cream
Recipes:
- Nice cream – Blend together 3-4 frozen bananas (the browner, the sweeter) in a food processor (use a dash of plant mylk if you need some liquid to get the blending going), until it’s reached an ice cream consistency. Add in frozen fruit (blueberries, strawberries, mango, etc.) to create different flavours.
- Lazy ‘nice cream’ – Skip the blending and just eat a frozen banana! I like to take a couple slices of frozen banana out of the freezer about 10mins before eating to defrost (or before eating dinner and leave it in the fridge); top with whatever you fancy (bars, granola, nuts, dried fruit, etc). Dig in and enjoy!
