Share your tips for healthy snacking with Soreen - £100 voucher to be won

I try to make sure I have plenty of healthy options for snacks - always easier in summer as I have fruit and veg from the garden to snack on. I buy only a limited number of treats, so they have to last till next shop

I'm borderline diabetic and have given up anything sugary for ages now, but I do so miss a slice of cake. I didn't realise that Soreen was low in sugar and fat. I am definitely going to buy some as soon as possible.
I tend to eat nuts between meals, unsalted ones, or the occasional cereal bar.
And sometimes an apple chopped up with cubes of low fat cheese. They taste good together.
The best way to avoid temptation is simply to not buy unhealthy foods.

Hi Kittylester

Gluten free for me too! Am highly Coeliac, so have to be very careful!!!

Morrissons do a nice Christmas cake, and sometime G/F fruit slices, but it is getting to one. 5 miles before getting to a main road, let alone a town!!!

Tesco and Sainsburys were hopeless last year.

Snack? I'm grazing!! Have been since Lockdown started, so now decided having put on unhealthy weight, and not being able to do my usual walking as exercise, to get strict with myself! NO SNACKING 3 healthy meals! Watch this space xx

Oh dear, i had forgotten about soreen as an option for my supermarket trolley! At present trying to snack healthily (!) I reach for fruit or nuts but nuts are so expensive And I worry about my teeth when I chomp away.

I am very much a snacker. I do find that buying individually wrapped healthy crunch bars or energy bars are a better idea than buying packets of biscuits - the temptation to scoff half the packet is usually too great! A jar of peanut butter (sustainable palm oil) and a teaspoon (used moderately) is another favourite.

If you find it difficult to moderate snacking, then reducing shopping can help. Because I am isolating and going out of the house as little as possible, I am shopping once a month and making use of fridge, freezer etc. If you can only eat what is in the house and can't replace it, then even if you binge on one day, over the month your snack intake is limited. Plus it does make you hesitate when you start to work out how many packets of biscuits and bars of chocolate you ate in the previous month, and contemplate putting that number through the till in one go!

Only buy what you will not feel guilty eating in the week and save treats on top shelf

At work I never snack, but now I'm in working from home it's tempting. Now I'm drinking a glass of water when I feel tempted to snack and then often forget about eating.

I pick fresh fruit from our garden, depending on what's available on the day (raspberries, blackberries, redcurrants, pears, apples and plums) and add it to low-fat yogurt that contains probiotic cultures. It adds to my 5-a-day and is good for gut health.

Simple - I don't buy them if it's not in the house I can't be tempted. Soreen are great because they're a happy medium with lots of variety. I do prefer the bigger loaves to the individually packaged ones though - too much edge and not enough middle in those for my liking!

On the whole I do like portion controlled snacks, but if they're not then I just make sure I do it myself - if it's a big bag or something like a malt loaf then when I open it I will immediately weigh/cut into portions, then put them in airtight tubs or resealable bags.

I never eat anything from it's original bag or packet unless it's acceptable to eat the whole thing, because that is fatal - once you start it's very hard to stop. I will also always make sure that if I have started with something containing more than one portion (eg a packet of biscuits) I will take out what I want, then put the rest away properly and go and sit down before I eat them. If the packet is still out on the side it's much easier to give into temptation, whereas if it's been put away in the tin you have to be much more mindful.

Another great thing is make healthy snacks easy - a lot of the reason we end up snacking on unhealthy things is because it's so easy to grab a packet of crisps or a biscuit. If you keep a pot of cut up fruit and veg in the fridge and a fruit bowl on the side it's just as easy to grab that and will help you make better choices (and as long as it's portion controlled you can add things like cheese or a dip when you're preparing it)

Snack options are chocolate oatcakes or stem ginger oatcakes or rice cakes with a thin layer of chocolate

I often feel like having a snack in late afternoon, so I often end up having a bowl of cereal as I'm not a fan of salty snacks and I try not to eat biscuits or sweets.

rozina my thoughts too.

My hint on snacking. DON'T! If you have a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner, there should be no need to snack. I can't remember the last time I snacked.

Over the lockdown me and my husband have started keto diet and I am amazed at how much cooking I actually do now the recipes are healthy I am really enjoying trying different things and I find you dont snack as your hunger is satisfied and the bonus have lost a bit of weight because of the lockdown its given me motivation to start something different

Watermelon fills and hydrates us really well. Always have some mixed nuts and raisins in the cupboard.

I exercise every day indoors and outdoors so eating healthy is essential to me. I don't snack but if I were to have a something after working out or during it would be nuts, fruit, dried fruit like chopped apricots/ cranberries or a healthy natural seed bar bought or homemade to pick my energy levels up quickly. Greek yogurt is also good with a banana or granola if you're at home.

My favourite healthy snack is greek yogurt and fruit

Sadly the biscuit box is a good friend so I find it's best not to buy biscuits or snacks and thereby remove temptation.

I make my own protein balls, usually with oats, cocoa and date paste. Also flapjack made with apricots soaked in green tea which acts as the binding agent with oats,seeds and nuts.
Also all sorts of fruit, celery and carrot sticks, and i definitely think people think they need a snack when they just need water to rehydrate

I love the variety of Soreen loaves. The malt loaf is still my favourite but their banana loaf is delicious too particularly eaten with lots of butter and a banana. Have kept it down to one thick slice as I'm weight watching - or trying to! Did notice that they now do a sliced loaf. Very moreish.

I keep a dish in the fridge with easy to eat fruit, blueberries, strawberries, grapes, peeled mandarins and chopped melon and when I feel I want a snack I have something easy to hand

Didn't snack when going in to work but on the days I now work from home the temptation is there. I do have a biscuit with my mid morning coffee but then prepare some veg sticks and fruit in the fridge to nibble on in the afternoon. A handful of nuts are also a good alternative.

Must admit to having a snack of a biscuit or two with a cup of coffee after we've taken the dog for a walk! I do like Soreen too - especially the banana one. I have a sweet tooth and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Life's too short to deprive yourself. All things in moderation, eh?!
