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.

Snack Substitutes

Listed below are some ideas of how you can substitute unhealthy snacks for the much healthier alternative.

Peanuts

Stop: 30g handful of salted peanuts (184kcal, 15.7g fat).

Swap: 30g handful of pretzels (114kcal, 0.8g fat).

You NEED to try these delicious Chocolate Hazelnut Fudgy Brownie Bites made using our Chocolate Hazelnut Shake 🍫✨🤎

They’re high-protein, flourless, super fudgy and made with healthier ingredients… the perfect sweet treat when those chocolate cravings hit 🙌

✨ What you’ll need:

•1 packet Shake That Weight Chocolate Hazelnut Shake
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup honey, maple syrup or sweetener
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup oat flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 2–3 drops vanilla extract

Optional:
• Splash of milk if the mixture feels too thick
• Handful of chocolate chips if you want an extra indulgent touch 🍫
(I made mine without chocolate chips!)

✨ Method:
Preheat your oven to 175°C and line an 8x8 inch baking tray with parchment paper or use a silicone baking dish.
Mash the bananas, then mix in the Greek yogurt, eggs, sweetener and vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine the oat flour, cocoa powder, Shake That Weight shake packet, baking powder and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined - avoid overmixing as protein-based bakes can become rubbery.

Fold in chocolate chips if using, then pour the mixture into your baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes.
Allow to cool completely before slicing so they set properly ✨

Quick tip - keep mine in the fridge as the yogurt and bananas help keep them extra moist and fudgy 😍

A big thanks to @kates.losing.it for this incredible recipe and video.
