We both have
loads of yummy snacks we love, so we thought we would compile them into a list!
Our top 10 tried and tested, which we have usually between breakfast and lunch and then lunch and dinner.
1. Fruity Protein Bars.
The absolute fave. Try not to eat them all at once.
1/2 cup almond butter, 1/2 cup of honey, 2 scoops protein powder (I use choc). 1 1/4 ish cups of oats, half cup of dried apricots, cranberries and sliced almonds. Mix altogether, sprinkle a few mixed seeds in and put in a baking tray and squish down with a fork, put in fridge until a bit set. Wrap them up individually in foil and keep in fridge. Usually makes about 12.
2. Apple Slices with Almond Butter.
Easy to prepare and tastes sooo good:
Yum yum.
3. Protein Powder Peanut Butter Balls.
Very Moreish!
Makes about 12. 2 cups almond butter, 2 scoops of protein powder (again I use choc,) 2 ripe bananas mashed, 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds. Makes walnut sized balls, place in container, put in fridge, wrap individually once a bit set.
4. Graze Box
This is a bit cheating but you don't have to prepare them and they are delicious. Order a graze box, it's relatively cheap and you have 4 snacks prepared for you straight away! Our favourites are flapjack, chocolate pudding, and chocolate brownie.
6. Tone It Up Protein Bars
So yummy and a good way to use protein powder other than having a shake.
(see post on top 5 ways to use protein powder)
If all else
fails and you don’t like any of those, then these
really-not-good-for-you-but-so-good-and-ok-for-a-treat cookies are THE best cookies in the world.
Loads of people have said so. Got the recipe from Tanya Burr (beauty you
tuber/blogger/lots of other things. Check her out). She got it from Anna's cookie blog post and Anna got the recipe from here (I def can’t get sued.) Just don’t eat
them all at once.... you may be sick and will definitely get fat. Makes 12...
Put the butter in a bowl and mix to make soft. Mix in the sugar until creamy.Crack the egg and mix that in. Throw in the dry ingredients. If dry add few drops of milk. Line 2 baking trays. Scoop mix into 12ish balls (about a handful). Place far apart on tray 200 degrees centigrade in the oven for only 10 mins.... they will look super sloppy but after half an hour will be at the perfect consistency to eat! I suggest inviting some friends round as soon as you get them out of the oven, or there is a massive chance you may devour them all in one go.

Don’t forget, like I did, that they are meat based and not just muffins and leave them out of the fridge for days.... Go to eat one and find it’s extremely sweaty and nearly makes you sick... Results in a lot of wasted muffins. Woopps.
I left out chipotle pepper spice (I had no clue what it was)
Celery (I didn’t have any and don’t like it)
Added 1 tsp of mustard for extra flavour.
Also will get you boyfriend points (if you don’t give them gone off ones...)6. Tone It Up Protein Bars
So yummy and a good way to use protein powder other than having a shake.
(see post on top 5 ways to use protein powder)
Make lots, eat cold.
Add honey/almond butter/fruit/nutella for extra yuminess.
8. Greek Yoghurt with Honey and Fruit
(I like strawberries best) - so simple but very delicious.
9. Frozen Nutty Banana Nibblers
These are AMAZING. Such a good snack and one serving allows 7 which is actually really generous and you feel very satisfied afterwards. However I didn't put the 2 halves on top of each other, I kept them separate and topped them all with the mixture.
10. Cottage Cheese with Pepper and Cucumber or Reduced Fat Hummus with Cucumber and Grapes.
I've tried a couple of different cottage cheeses and found that the plain one is definitely the best, but there are a few to try out there if you don't like one, don't be put off!
