Aside from cooking up some delicious food ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Mama is mindful that we all sometimes need a little bit extra between meals. Snacking is often thought to be a bad idea as crisps, chocolate and other treat foods are all too readily available these days. But snacking need not be a completely guilty pleasure! Here we have listed some of Mama's favourite healthy snacks to help give you some ideas about the kind of things you can eat without weighing heavy on the scales, or on your conscience!

Breakfast Bite


For a tasty top up around breakfast time, try breaking up a granola bar or cereal bar over some yoghurt and drizzle with a bit of honey for sweetness.


Fruit Kebabs


A different twist on a savoury classic; chop assorted fruit and thread on a wooden skewer. Try different combinations until you find your favourite!


Cheesy Sweet Potato

Provided you use reduced fat cheese, this is a good, warming snack once in a while! Bake a sweet potato until cooked and top with some melted cheese.


Smoothie Deluxe

Blend some low fat yoghurt with a banana (essential to make it thick!) and whatever other fruits you like. Berries such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries work particularly well and produce some great colours!
