Healthy snacks as part of a balanced diet
Fuel your day in-between meals with a quick snack on the go. Healthy snacking can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, with plenty of nutritious options on offer. At M&S, our Home of Health is packed full of healthier choices from our High Protein range to Nutrient Dense picks.
"If you choose wisely snacking can be a healthy way to add more important nutrients to your diet such as vitamins, minerals and fibre. To avoid adding excess calories to your diet, snacks should aim to be under 200kcals," M&S Senior Nutritionist, Sophia Thistlethwaite.
When in doubt, look for our Eat Well flower, marking healthy products that meet evidence-based criteria developed by our nutritionists. "We all know we should be aiming for five portions of fruit and vegetables per day, so its useful to ensure your snacks contain at least one portion to get you on your way to hitting that target," says Sophia.
