Snack Attack

05/08/2008 send to a friend

Enterprise Nation contributor, Jo Hill, shows how to avoid sugar cravings when working from home. She says it's okay to snack just so long as it's snacking on the right things. (I better finish off that bag of revels then.)

    Go, Jo, Go!

    Jo Hill is probably the healthiest specimen in our family of Enterprise Nation contributors (no offence to our other fit and flexible writers) - that's because Jo runs Open Gym. Not only does she exercise each day, she eats well too. And shows us how to follow in her low-carb footsteps.

      It is really important to eat smaller, regular meals including two healthy snacks - one mid morning and one in the mid-afternoon. This will keep your energy levels steady and stop you have a sudden sugar low which might make you reach for the caffeine or biscuits!

      The best snack contains some protein as well as carbs - see what you think of these....

  • A piece of fruit and a handful of nuts eg apple, pear, peach, apricots, berries, almonds, brazil nuts.
  • Hummus with crudites – just chop up some fresh peppers, carrots, celery, cucumber, green beans and dip them into a pot of hummus.
  • Avocado oatcakes – mash up some avocado with some lime juice, shallot and coriander leaves and put it on top of some oatcakes
  • Apricot and peanut butter crackers - a refreshing afternoon snack
  • Roasted cauliflower popcorn

What's your favourite (healthy) snack?
