what's up guys emily here ready to take
0:02
you through
0:03
five healthy easy snack ideas
0:06
i've got a whole mix of different things
0:08
a lot of them though are
0:09
super super easy and these are some of
0:11
my go-to
0:12
snacks so i can't wait to share them
0:14
with you
0:19
first up we're going to go straight in
0:21
with this one
0:22
an absolute classic which is going to be
0:24
peanut butter
0:26
and banana on toast a very slight twist
0:28
though because i'm also gonna top it
0:30
with some
0:30
chia seeds so all you need for this one
0:32
to get started is to go and toast a
0:34
really nice slice of bread
0:36
i've literally just got a slice of
0:37
classic white bread here ready to go
0:39
i'm gonna be using this my protein all
0:42
natural peanut butter smooth
0:44
original one so that's what i'm going to
0:46
use my peanut butter i've got a banana
0:47
and then i've also got the my protein
0:49
chia seeds in here i've just encountered
0:51
them into my jar because i just use them
0:53
so much
0:54
so to start with i'm literally just
0:56
going to lather lots of this peanut
0:58
butter
1:00
onto my slice of toast this is literally
1:04
one of my favorite things to have
1:06
pre-workout it's a great pre-workout
1:08
snack
1:10
lots of carbohydrates in the banana
1:12
obviously and also it's just super
1:13
gentle and easy on your tummy if you're
1:15
like me and you don't like
1:17
lots of stuff kind of sitting in your
1:18
tummy when you're about to train
1:20
so feel free to add as much as you like
1:22
here i mean creative license totally
1:24
so i've got a nice layering of the
1:26
peanut butter on there
1:27
now i'm gonna get my banana and chop it
1:30
up i personally prefer to go with
1:31
discs i just think it is better and this
1:35
banana is definitely past its peak
1:37
but that's totally fine just means it
1:40
tastes
1:40
that much sweeter so once you've got
1:42
your banana ready just going in with
1:44
some
1:44
nice discs
1:49
you can totally do it in long strips as
1:52
well if you prefer
1:53
i just think it's easier when you have
1:55
it in disks
1:56
when you're then going to slice your
1:58
toast in half
1:59
so just dotting that all over also if
2:01
you don't like bananas you can totally
2:03
sub for something else
2:05
dotting that all over as soon as i've
2:07
done that i'm literally just gonna add
2:08
the magic ingredients
2:10
which is topping it with a few chia
2:12
seeds this literally just makes it
2:14
so nice and crunchy it's so simple and
2:17
it's so easy to do
2:19
but it just is really really yummy so i
2:21
definitely recommend that if you've got
2:23
some of these in the cupboard
2:24
and that is literally it chop it in half
2:26
enjoy it
2:27
quick easy snack ideal for pre-workout
2:30
ideal for just
2:31
loads of yumminess so that is snack
2:33
number one
2:34
next snack is definitely one of my
2:37
absolute favorites and i also make a
2:39
bigger portion of this sometimes for
2:40
breakfast
2:41
it's so easy it's so simple so what i've
2:44
got in my bowl here
2:45
ready is some no fat greek yogurt
2:48
already in there
2:49
ready to go another fantastic thing
2:51
about any of these snacks is you can
2:52
totally tweak the portions to whatever
2:54
you want i've probably got around
2:56
150-ish grams of greek yogurt in here
2:58
but you can totally throw in
3:00
however much you want i'm also then
3:02
gonna add a few drops of the high
3:04
protein flavor drops
3:05
this is the vanilla flavor i've honestly
3:07
got so many flavors in the cupboard
3:08
because it's so yummy
3:10
zero calories and just adds such great
3:12
flavor you really don't need much
3:14
whatsoever so i'm literally just gonna
3:15
add a few little drops here
3:18
just add some really lovely sweet
3:21
vanilla flavor to the yogurt
3:23
so that is just going to get mixed in
3:25
really quickly
3:26
once that is then all mixed in together
3:28
and all combined and then gonna start to
3:30
add some toppings so personally i'm
3:32
gonna go with
3:33
strawberries and blueberries as my
3:35
fruits i just love
3:36
berries so this is what i'm gonna go for
3:38
it's also fantastic if you've got any
3:39
frozen berries in the freezer
3:41
that you can just slowly melt and top on
3:43
top of this
3:44
so i'm going to put my strawberries on
3:47
once i've put those strawberries
3:49
on there and then also going to add my
3:51
blueberries
3:54
you can totally just throw this together
3:55
however you fancy and then finally i'm
3:57
just going to top it with some
3:58
granola now the granola definitely of
4:00
course is optional you can also use a
4:03
dollop of peanut butter or almond butter
4:05
i just always like to have some crunch i
4:07
don't know why i just think it makes it
4:09
so much yummier
4:10
so i'm just gonna add some granola just
4:12
a few little handfuls
4:15
sprinkling over the top here
4:18
and that is it such a simple easy snack
4:22
really yummy really scale scalable to
4:25
whatever
4:25
portion size you're fancy or how hungry
4:27
you are super high in protein
4:29
and delicious okay snack number three
4:33
is actually going to be a bit of a
4:34
snacking dipping bowl which is literally
4:36
one of my favorite snacks
4:38
particularly for the evening when i'm
4:39
sat in front of netflix i'm chilling out
4:41
and i always want to eat something is
4:44
that just me
4:45
so what i'm going to go for with this
4:46
one i'm going to use the my protein
4:49
choc crispies they come in like four
4:51
little crispy pieces that i'm not even
4:54
joking
4:54
tastes like yummy chocolatey rice crispy
4:57
little treats
4:58
but they've got a really nice dose of
5:00
protein in them as well so i'm going to
5:02
start by popping those
5:03
into my little snack bowl i'm then going
5:07
to pop in alongside it some
5:09
really nice big strawberries so i'm
5:12
gonna leave the tops on these because i
5:13
want them
5:14
ready for some dunking so i'm literally
5:16
gonna pop those down the other side
5:20
and then finally to finish off this
5:22
snack bowl i'm gonna add
5:25
a tablespoon of almond butter
5:28
this almond butter is so smooth so
5:31
creamy it's literally so yummy and it's
5:33
perfect for dipping things into so i'm
5:34
literally gonna pop that
5:36
into the bowl and then i've got the
5:38
perfect
5:39
dipping dip
5:43
to play with and that is literally it's
5:45
so simple
5:46
so easy i've literally just got my big
5:49
strawberries
5:50
my protein chopped crispies my dog
5:52
almond butter and i'm just gonna pick
5:53
and dip and it's gonna be delicious
5:56
next snack is a super easy one that
5:58
definitely doesn't even need a recipe
6:00
because it's just super easy so all i've
6:03
got for this one
6:04
is a freshly brewed frothy homemade
6:07
coffee
6:08
you can totally also have a tea whatever
6:10
you fancy and i'm gonna have it
6:12
with one of the microwaving gooey filled
6:14
protein cookies 20 grams of protein
6:17
super yummy and also perfect for dunking
6:20
into your coffee it tastes amazing it's
6:23
super simple but such a great snack
6:25
getting you 20 grams of protein and it
6:27
is so
6:28
easy to do final snack is going to be
6:31
a really easy yummy one again so we're
6:34
gonna need some
6:35
rice cakes for this one i've just got
6:37
some very plain simple whole grain
6:39
rice cakes but tons you just use
6:40
whatever you have whatever you fancy
6:43
i'm also gonna be using this almond
6:44
butter again finally i've got some
6:46
chopped up strawberries and i've also
6:48
got
6:48
some mixed seeds here and i'm literally
6:51
just going to have a plate
6:52
with some yummy toppings one of the
6:53
things that i love about rice cakes is
6:55
they're so easy
6:56
to top with whatever you've got in
6:58
cupboard whatever you fancy whatever
6:59
flavors you're digging or feeling
7:01
you can just throw a load of different
7:02
things together so i've already topped
7:04
two of them with the almond butter
7:05
i'm just going to top this third one
7:07
with you guys now
7:09
so again another fantastic thing is
7:12
obviously
7:12
you can just put as many toppings on as
7:14
you want as thick as you want
7:16
you don't have to put a load of toppings
7:18
on one of the great things about this
7:20
almond butter
7:21
is that it is so creamy and so
7:23
spreadable so you really don't need a
7:25
lot of that
7:26
for it to kind of cover all of the rice
7:27
cake but also you can totally
7:29
layer it on if you fancy it so once
7:32
we've got that ready to go
7:33
i'm then going to go in with my seeds
7:36
another fantastic thing
7:37
is that these will stick to the almond
7:40
butter because it will kind of stick in
7:41
there
7:42
so it gives us this really nice crunchy
7:44
topping
7:46
that's also packing some nice
7:48
micronutrients into this as well so a
7:50
great
7:51
source of healthy fats some
7:52
micronutrients and also just super super
7:55
yummy so
7:55
once i've done that this is just a whole
7:58
mixed blend of seeds by the way you can
7:59
totally grab whatever you've got
8:01
i've just got a whole different mix of
8:03
pumpkin seeds all sorts of different
8:04
stuff in there
8:05
final touch is just going to be to add
8:07
some chopped strawberries
8:09
i really love strawberries if you
8:10
haven't already been able to tell from
8:12
these snacks
8:13
but again you can totally use something
8:16
else apple slices are also delicious on
8:18
this
8:18
or if you want to go back to a banana
8:20
again whatever you fancy i'm literally
8:22
just going to pop
8:23
a few strawberry quarters on each one
8:28
so simple so easy literally zero effort
8:31
you can make as many or as little of
8:33
them as you like
8:34
and that is literally it simple yummy
8:37
snack
8:38
five seconds to make one second to eat
8:41
because they're so yummy so that is the
8:42
final
8:43
