7 quick ’n’ healthy snacks to get you through to lunch

One of the common things we hear from our I Quit Sugar: 8-Week Program graduates is that they lose the urge to snack when they quit sugar.

That’s because when you’re eating nutrient-dense meals packed with veg, protein and a bit of healthy fat, you’re throwing a big log on your metabolic fire that sees you through to the next one.

Sometimes though, we all need a little something to see us through. Whip up these healthy snacks ahead of time and they’re sure to hit the spot – whatever you’re craving.

1. Something sweet.

Beat the snack attack at its own game with Sarah‘s Paleo Choc Coco Muggin. Packed with satiating healthy fats and a good dose of antioxidants from the raw cacao, this one tastes way more decadent than it actually is. 9

2. Something savoury.

Cue our Pull Apart Lunchbox Scrolls. Whip up a batch of these seriously easy scrolls (the dough has two ingredients people!) and customise with your favourite veggie toppings. They also make the perfect snack for the kids’ lunchboxes.

3. Something salty.

Four words: Bacon + Peanut Butter Cookies. If ever there was a salty, smoky match made in heaven, this was it.

4. Something spicy.

Spice up your life (or your post-dinner snack at least), with a mug of this warm Chai-Spiced Milk. Featuring cardamon, nutmeg and cinnamon, it’s the perfect between-meal bev.

5. Something crunchy.

Pass the pickles please! This dead-easy DIY Garlic Pickled Green Beans ensures you have a jar of crunchy veg ready to go when the cravings call. Don’t like beans? This recipe will also work with cucumbers or carrots.

6. Something earthy.

Sweet or savoury just not cutting it? Why not have both? These Turmeric Protein Bombs come with a hit of warming anti-inflammatory spice, while the cashew butter adds a nutty, naturally sweet creaminess. And with a hit of our Gut Lovin’ Gelatin, your gut will love them just as much as your taste buds do!

7. You’re not exactly sure what you feel like… (but you need it now!)

Hangry? Moody? Or just very indecisive? This Sweet + Salty Granola Slice ticks a lot of boxes when you’re hit by a snack attack, but aren’t really sure what you’re craving. Did we also mention it’s light, but filling and extremely healthy? You’re welcome!
