Feeling peckish? Crisps and chocolate are so last season. Try these 6 ways to satisfy your snack cravings

If you need a quick pick-me-up but don’t want to hamper healthy eating goals too much, then opt for a less indulgent snack that’ll give you lasting energy. From high-protein to low-calorie, there are loads of ways to snack smarter these days.

1. Nairn’s Oatcakes (£1.29, nairns-oatcakes.com)

When your tastebuds are tingling for something savoury, step away from the crisps and reach for these wholegrain oatcakes instead. They’re full of fibre and complex carbohydrates that’ll help you stay energised for longer. These all-natural snacks taste incredible with a dollop of almond butter, too.

2. Beond Organic Snack Bars (£8.46 for 9, pulsin.co.uk)

If you tend to get your cravings whilst on the go, then keep one of these snack bars handy in your bag. The little bars pack a huge flavour punch but are made using only natural and organic ingredients like fruit and nut. All four flavours are delicious, but we especially love the Apple Cinnamon.

6. Total Greek Yoghurt (£2.39, major supermarket)

Greek yoghurt is all the rage right now, but is it really all it’s cracked up to be? We think so. Not only is it delicious but it’s also super-high in protein, making it perfect for a post-gym snack or a bite to keep you fuller for longer.
