Conquer your snack attacks

If you'd rather sip your snack:

• Blender drinks: Mix any combination of skimmed milk, yoghurt, fruit juice and fruit in a blender
• Fruit and herbal teas
• We often mistake thirst for hunger: Try calorie-free flavoured waters, or add a lemon or lime to your own sparkling water
• Sugar-free hot chocolate made with skimmed milk: It not only satisfies your sweet tooth, it adds essential calcium and vitamin D to your diet

Healthy snacks on-the-go:

• Pretzels or plain popcorn in individual bags
• Cereal or granola bars that contain added calcium
• Reduced-fat crisps
• Snack in a bag: Mix your favourite types of dry cereal, and add a handful of raisins and a sprinkling of roasted nuts
