One sweet, one savoury – they are both
extremely satisfying and delicious boosts for your mid morning or mid afternoon
munching moment. Remember snacks are not two extra meals, so keep an eye on
portions!
Both of these will be served at our
healthy Chana Tea-Cember on 17th
December so make sure you come along to sample all our goodies and gain
lots of happy snacking ideas!
Please send us any great snack ideas you
have so we can share with our ace ladies.

Egg white muffins
These are easy and nutritious – high in protein and low in calories (less than 20 per muffin) and extremely adaptable with whatever veg you have available. Suitable for freezing and take hardly any time to defrost.
Ingredients:
- One teaspoon coconut oil
- 1.5 cups of egg whites
- 2 cups raw spinach
- 1 cup of raw chopped cherry tomatoes (or sun dried tomatoes)
- 1 cup of raw chopped asparagus
- 1 cup chopped pepper
- Salt & pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 180 degrees (160 fan)
Sautée chopped onions in a teaspoon of coconut oil
until soft and transparent. Add chopped peppers and cook until soft.
Add spinach, tomatoes and asparagus for a couple of
minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Separate eggs and stir in sautéed vegetables to the
whites.
Fill each muffin tin with the mixture and cook at 180.
Don't fill containers to the top as they will rise.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. To check if they
are fully cooked stick a tooth pick in the centre and make sure it comes out
clean.
