Healthier Chirstmas Snacks

Christmas is the time of temptation, especially when it comes to food, here are some top tips for some healthier christmas snack options garnished from our very own NHS website.

  • Open-top mince pies. Using less pastry cuts down on calories and fat.
  • Alternatively, use filo pastry. A sheet of puff pastry has 620kcal, and a sheet of filo has 40kcal. Also, add finely chopped apple to mincemeat to make it go further and be slightly lower in calories.
  • Wrapping sausages in bacon or pastry just adds more fat and calories. Grill, or bake them on a wire rack so that the fat drains off.
  • Avoid dips made with cream or cream cheese. Choose tomato-based dips, such as salsa, or mix some chopped herbs into low-fat yoghurt.
  • Serve rice cakes, oatcakes or plain popcorn with drinks, instead of crisps and salted nuts.
  • Some seasonal favourites such as; Satsumas are high in vitamin C, and roast chestnuts are low in fat.
