A Sprinkling of Thoughts

My Top 10 Healthy Snacks

My Top 10 Healthy Snacks 2019 - Cupful of SprinklesI know that around this time of year most people vow to eat healthier. To cut the sugar, avoid the pizza and skip the extra snack between meals. But sometimes after trying your hardest to make the ‘right’ choices, you’re still left with a little craving.

Whether your weakness is crisps, chocolate or something else all together; I know it can be really hard to resist and head straight for your favourite comfort food.

Spirulina Energy Bites

Spirulina Energy BitesWhen I first bought spirulina I was so excited. I was convinced that I’d bought a major superfood that would boost my energy, leave me with glowing skin and make me look all around more radiant and feel amazing.

But the problem is, most snack’s that are readily available are the ones that aren’t too good for you. And the one’s that claim to be healthy are either ridiculously overpriced, taste completely horrible, or just have no flavour at all! And if you don’t know by now, I hate the thought that healthy food has to be tasteless.
