Healthy snacks

Love and lemon has one.
Start your search with 'oats and peanut butter recipes '.

To be honest I think that sounds really high in sugar.
And quite a lot of calories for a snack.

Surely these recipes are only for guidance. I would adjust to my own taste . I wasn't advocating for the recipe, just giving an example.

I make these in my food processor:
Healthy Snicker Snacks
Soft, pitted dates 120gr (provides fibre and sweetness)
Peanuts about 40gr (protein)
Peanut butter 1 generous tablespoon (protein)
Cocoa powder 1 tablespoon

Blitz to form a dough, not too sticky.

Roll in balls. Chill in fridge.

If I'm being fancy, I dust them with more cocoa powder.

Sorry. It did just sound really sweet.

Guess I’m a savoury person.

And right on cue the criticising other posters police have arrived too😬😂

Try YouTube videos.

Put in the term you want in the search box and see what comes up.

Thank you Retread……..that’s just what I’m after. 😊

All the sugars are naturally occurring, not added. Sounds delicious.

They are - addictive!

Look on BBC food and there’s a Healthier Flapjack which is really good. Oats, seeds, dried apricots, dried cranberries, raisins, 1 egg, butter and golden syrup ( but not a lot) and cut into small pieces as it’s filling. You can pour dark chocolate over to be fancy.

Hi everyone, I have never posted on here, but always read your very interesting posts. I always make the below recipe, they freeze well too in an airtight container

lovely - will use for cycle trips, thank you.

I would avoide peanut butter, not healthy and high in sugar. Almoravid cashew nut butter healthier if you need this. TBH nuts are the only healthy snack.

If you can, download the BBC good app… free and 1000’s of tried and tested recipes from the great and good available FOC.

I think she’s allowed to give an opinion and I agree it sounds high in sugar but nobody said she couldn’t have it, think u might need to wind your neck in a bit

Not if you are allergic to them! So many 'snack-type' recipes include nuts.....

Thanks for that! Rushed into the kitchen and made these ready for tomorrow’s flight! Much healthier than Ryan Air offerings!

Sounds absolutely delicious! Thank you

Agree: High in sugar & high in calories too.

Also very high in carbohydrates as well ..

Exactly what I thought.
