My Top 5 Favourite Sweet Sugar-Free Snacks

January is passing by quicker than ever and being healthy is getting increasingly more difficult.
I find the best way to succeed the healthy eating lifestyle is to find some sweet treats that are healthy.
Below are My Top 5 Favourite Sweet Sugar-Free Snacks.

1. Booja Booja Ice Cream
I am not usually a fan of ice cream because I don’t like milky creamy products
but this product is completely free of those ingredients.
It is dairy free in fact and has no added sugar whatsoever.
Booja Booja make scrummy truffles and ice cream.
They are on the pricey side but savour every mouthful, it is worth it.

2. Apples and Grapes
Once you give up sugar you will realise how sweet apples and grapes are.
These fruits give you a big sugar burst so try to not gorge on too much if you are trying to limit your sugar intake.
*TOP TIP: Next time you buy a bunch of grapes, put them in the freezer.
Every little grape tastes like a biteful of grape sorbet.

3. Honey and Cinnamon Popcorn
I blogged this recipe on my blog a few months ago and have had great feedback.
This sweet popcorn is sugar free and very addictive.

4. Yoghurt and Honey
This may sound like something you would normally eat for breakfast but it is a lovely healthy sweet treat.
Add honey or date syrup to a tablespoon of  natural Greek yoghurt.
Sprinkle raspberries and strawberries on top for added yumminess.

5. Sugar Free Nutty Biscuits
I came up with this recipe last week by smushing loads of nuts and seeds with dates.
They are incredibly filling and a guilt free sweet treat.

Do you know of any other quick and easy sugar free sweet snacks that you can recommend?

Speedy chips

Being freelance I don’t have much stability in my schedule, yet most Thursday’s Liam and I have a tradition of having a special dinner together. We always have homemade chips, veggie burgers and a cocktail or three alongside Thursday night comedy on E4. The Big Bang Theory is our favourite, what’s yours?
When I spotted this Von Shef chipper whilst browsing Amazon I knew my Thursday night prep time was about to reduce drastically.

It is far more hardy than the Spiralizers we have all bought into. It can even create chips out of sweet potatoes which are always an impossible task for my weedy arm muscles.

You simply put your food in, push down the leaver and out pops your identical chips…much easier for cooking times.
The device also comes with an extra blade with smaller holes to make french fries.

After a couple of minutes of par boiling the chips I pop them in the oven with a little oil for about 50minutes.
You then have yourself some scrummy guilt free chips.

You can buy it here.
Being an avid lover of Amazon Prime I was sad to see it wasn’t applicable for free next day delivery but mine arrived within two days.

Why stop at chips, you can even make quick crudités.
The only negative I have is that you can’t fit in a large potato but this is only a minor qualm of this fab product.
