1 Almonds and Apricots
Almonds are high in protein and fibre, as well as
being low-GI is a good source of magnesium, and
rich in vitamin E. Dried apricots, on the other
hand, are rich in carotenes, which may lower the
risk of cancers of the throat and lungs and
provide you with potassium, iron, calcium,
silicon, phosphorus, and vitamin C.

2 Yogurt and Honey
Yogurt is low in fat, high in calcium and good
for your gut. A recent study also found that
people who got their calcium from yogurt rather
than other dairy sources lost more weight around
the tummy area. Honey has been shown to increase
the bloods level of protective antioxidants, and
may also be a useful diet addition for people
with high cholesterol.

4 Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolates containing at least 70 per cent
cocoa solids are a good source of antioxidants,
particularly flavonoids, which are the type that
are found in green tea and red wine. And while
chocolate is high in fat, it consists of
saturated fats including stearic and palmitic
acid, a monounsaturated fat that is also found in
olive oil.

5 Peanut butter on Crisp breads
This is the perfect combination of protein, fat,
carbohydrate, and lots of fibre. While peanut
butter is high in fat, it is mostly the
unsaturated fats which are not harmful. Peanuts
are a great source of the antioxidant vitamin E.
Peanut butter is also rich in protein, so it is a
good option especially for vegetarians and a good
source of magnesium.
