My Favourite (Naughty?) Healthy Snacks

If you know me personally, or have been following this blog for a while than you'll know that I heckin' love food. I have an extremely apparent sweet-tooth and could eat my weight in cheese if given the chance.

Currently I'm trying to get a little fitter and eat a little healthier. I don't want to cut out the things I love eating though! 

Now I'm not a nutritionist and I have no authority to be able to tell you whether these snacks are actually 'healthy,' but they make me feel happy and satisfied (while a lot of 'healthy,' snack food just doesn't seem to cut the mustard!)

Yumi's - Hommus

EAT THIS WITH THE SRIRACHA CHIPS (mentioned below.) This is the best hommus I've ever tasted. It's free of most nasties AND you can get a kilo for about $7 at Coles. Winning. At. Life.

Okay, my food never looks this good, it does in my mind though?

Halo Top - Ice Cream

Ice cream is and will always be, my biggest vice. 

I'm a huge fan of the Ben & Jerry's cookie dough ice cream. Me and my best friend used to eat this by the pint in high school, generally accompanied with salt and vinegar chips. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

I've found THE most awesome, semi-healthy, alternative to Ben and Jerry's.

Halo Top Australia creates awesome Ice cream flavours with one WHOLE TUB ranging from 240 to 360 calories (there are like, 72 calories in an apple. I'll let you do the maths.) I know you're not supposed to eat a whole tub in one sitting. I do. Let me live my life.

Heckin' bonus for you lactose intolerent and gluten free kiddos - they cater for you too!

My favourite flavours of the moment are Birthday Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and Peanut Butter Cup.

Purely Nutz - Peanut Butters 

As Lizzie McGuire once said - hey now, hey now, this is what dreams are made of (SING TO ME PAOLO!) This peanut butter is incredible. And what's even more incredible is that it only contains four ingredients; peanuts, honey, cinnamon and sea-salt. 

Bonus points - it's made from 99% Australian produce. The farmers' daughter within me is jumping with joy!

I literally eat this stuff out of the jar. (PRO TIP: use it as a topping on your Halo Top ice cream. Wowzer.)

My favourite way to eat this is with chopped up Pink Lady apples (or straight out of the jar tbh.) 

You can find it in your local Coles. My favourite flavour is the Cinnamon & Honey but they also have Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt and Chili & Smokey Paprika

Vege Chips - Lentil Deli Range

I have a new room mate (wahoo!) and she introduced me to these little wonders. Our favourite flavour is the Lentil Sriracha Chips.

Honestly, these taste like the sweet-chilli chicken strips you get from a road house bain-marie (Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about.) I ain't mad about it.

Lentil chips also come in a Lightly Salted flavour and Turmeric & Cheese Flavour.

San Churros - Strawberry Bowl

I love San Churros. It's my favourite place to go for dessert after a girls night. I never fail to make myself feel sick when I order there though. That is, until I found the plain ole' Strawberry bowl. It comes with a massive bowl of strawbs and dipping chocolate of your choice (I have Milk Chocolate or their new vegan option, Cookie Butter.) My mouth is watering just thinking of it...
