Guide to Healthy Savoury Snacks

When it comes to savoury snacks, incorporating a balance of fibre, protein, and healthy fats is key to keeping you satisfied and energised between meals. Here are some nutritious options to consider:

1. Vegetable Sticks with Hummus or Guacamole: Wash and slice vegetables like carrots, cucumber, and bell peppers into sticks. Serve with store-bought or homemade hummus or guacamole.

2. Edamame: Buy frozen edamame pods and defrost in the microwave or steamed until heated. Finish with a sprinkle of salt.

3. Roasted Chickpeas: Preheat oven to 200°C 400°F. Rinse and drain canned chickpeas, then pat dry. Toss with olive oil, salt, and seasonings with 1tsp ground cumin and salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes until crispy.

4. Cottage Cheese and Crackers: Spoon cottage cheese into a bowl and pair with whole grain crackers for a protein-packed snack.
