Saturday night snack hacks: 16 delicious, healthy ideas to curb takeaway cravings

Keep cravings at bay this weekend with these healthy snack ideas for your Saturday evening.

A new year has dawned and new year’s resolutions are in full swing.

Starting a savings fund, frequenting the gym, reading more… whatever your new goals are, it can be hard to stick to them. For many, myself included, eating healthier has always been a goal that becomes more feasible and needed after a Christmas break full of chocolate bars, celebration boxes, roast dinners and crisps (So. Many. Crisps.).

That said, eating healthy doesn’t mean you have to stop snacking, because let’s face it… that’s impossible. So, with that in mind, here are 16 healthy snacks that are just as tasty as they are filling.

On the go

1. Veggies and hummus

Find your favourite hummus dip filled with healthy fats, and eat with carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes or peppers.

2. Rye crispbreads with ricotta cheese

Packed with fibre, they crunch just like crisps, and with a smooth, creamy cheese on top, you could almost trick yourself…

3. Tuna lettuce wraps

A great way to get leafy greens without limiting yourself to just a salad. Tuna is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, an anti-inflammatory that improves heart health and strengthens immunity.

4. Trail mix

Raw nuts, seeds, dried fruit and dark chocolate or popcorn is a delicious and nutritious combo (buy in bulk to save money).

5. Greek yoghurt with fruit

Greek yoghurt is protein-rich, full of probiotics and boosts your metabolism – ideal for bursts of energy during a long day.
