Something sweet? Tips for healthier sweet snacks

Instead of chocolate bars, sweets, biscuits or cakes...

... try some healthy ways with fruit:

• Canned – try peach, pear, or pineapple slices in their own juice.
• Fresh – look out for fruit that’s in season, it can be cheaper.
  Dried – small handful of cranberries or raisins, or a couple of dried apricots/pears.
• Smoothie – you can make your own by blending some frozen fruit, lower fat milk/yoghurt and some 100% unsweetened fruit juice. We’ve got a great recipe for banana and strawberry smoothie.

Instead of ice cream...

... try:

• Lower fat yoghurt – make sure it doesn’t contain added sugar and add fruit for a delicious snack or pudding.
• Lower fat rice pudding – check the label for sugar too.
• Check the label and go for lower fat, lower sugar desserts.
