Right, so today we are going to talk to you about some snack ideas.
Snack ideas, it’s got to be one of the most common questions that we get asked.
I love my snacks, so do i.
So, Stephen, Rab, what should I snack on?
Here’s an idea, oatcakes. Now these oatcakes are very Scottish and in a packet you’ll get seven, but you might just want to choose one or two oatcakes just for a small snack or if you’re a bit more peckish you can have a few more.

If you are trying to stay away from the carbs and you want something a bit more slow release energy in the morning before work, that type of thing, then nuts. Cashers, pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, choose which one’s your favourite and a small handful is a very good snack. Depending on the rest of your diet unsalted if possible. Yeah and it’s a really good healthy snack that’s going to maintain a really good blood sugar level if you’re trying to watch your weight.
With all these nuts you just have to make sure that you don’t end up feeling like a
