Snacks have unjustly acquired a bad name, but they can be healthy and nutritious – and ready in minutes if not seconds! Healthy snacks include:

Fresh fruit and veg (whole or cut in pieces, such as a fruit salad with a dollop of yogurt or crudites you can have with hummus)
Sandwiches or pitta bread filled with salad, cheese, salmon, sardines or cold meat (salami, ham, sliced chicken breast, etc)
Yogurts or fromage frais
Toast with cheese
Dried apricots, figs, and prunes
Fortified breakfast cereals, muesli or other wholegrain cereal
Smoothies and unsweetened fruit juices
Baked beans on toast or a baked potato (cooked in a microwave or in the oven the day before and reheated with your filling of choice, baked beans and cheese or tuna and cheese are tasty ideas).
