Secretly packed with oils, sodium and nasties, household snack brands are keeping us from living our most healthy lives. The good news is, you don’t have to erase snacking from your day, you just need to replace the not-so-good with good.

1. The Classic

It might sound boring, but the good old fashioned veggie sticks (think carrot, celery, capsicum) are nature’s perfect snack. Full of crunch, the trick to these is in the dip. Try pairing them with homemade hummus or cashew cream. Or just fly them solo; nothing keeps your mouth occupied like chewing on a carrot.

2. Boiled Egg

Again, it’s a classic. The humble boiled egg is packed with protein and a range of essential nutrients. Magic.

3. Berries, Baby

A snack that’s delicious and full of immunity boosting superpowers? Where do we sign up. Blueberries. Raspberries, Strawberries, Black Berries … the options are endless and we promise a day including berries is a good one.

4. Krunchy Kale

The future is here … kale can be transformed into a crispy snack. Simply lay out your kale pieces on a tray and lightly sprinkle with olive oil, sea salt, garlic and your favourite spice before roasting in the oven. Just be sure to let them fully cool before placing in an airtight container. Crunch crunch.

5. Popcorn

Yep you read right, popcorn can be healthy. Luckily there are options on the market that are light and natural. Just look for minimal, natural ingredients and don’t eat a whole packet. Portion control is king here. Although it may be an adjustment, your body will thank you for switching out your soy crisps with real food.

Why not try a 30 day snack challenge and see how you feel?
