Strawberries in yogurt
What a better snack to have than some dripping strawberries. Being that yogurt is quite filling, dipping strawberries in it makes that snack double filling. Strawberries offer great memory health and are a must have snack.
Coconut dices
Don't think that coconuts are only for the beach days. Enjoy every day, by dicing up some coconut up and mix it with some sugar syrup. Soaking with sugar syrup will help enrich the coconut flavor and make a brilliant snack.
Pumpkin seeds
For your needs on iron and fibre, a dose of pumpkin seeds are a great snack idea. These natural seeds are best lightly toasted. Pop them on a non-stick skillet under low heat and toast them slightly. Put them in an airtight container after cooling and enjoy.
Dried fruit
Raisins, sultanas, tuti fruti (dried colored papaya) all make your snack bar have more variety. Try these dried fruits and you won't regret it.
