Great afternoon snack

Ok, not a 3 michelin star looker but it tastes good!


Don't believe the myth that snacking isn't good for you- it is! To go long periods of time (5-6hours) without food is not good for your metabolism and will likely lead to you over indulging at you next meal. You do however need to 'snack smart', making sure you focus on getting in some good protein and low G.I carbs if having carbs. Here is something I had today- quick and simple.

Imgredients:
100g Cottage cheese
1 Tsp Cacoa Powder
1 Pear
Handfull of grapes

Combine the cottage cheese and cacao powder. Then chop up the pear and add along with the grapes. Great on for those with a sweet tooth. Cacao powder is great for those needing to satisfy that chocolate urge, but had also been show to have mood boosting and hunger suppressing qualities- just make sure its plain un-sweetened cacao powder - a good brand to go for is Green&Black's.
