We have had lots of snack chat recently haven’t we? I have shared with you some of my favourite recipes and tips as having good snackage to hand is a pretty important key to getting healthy and getting/staying slim. Often its not our meal that are filled with processed junk or sugar its the snacks, that seem so small and insignificant  but can wreak havoc on your health.
