A little while ago I started going to nutritionist Carlette Roberts for healthy lifestyle advice and she discussed with me the importance of small simple snacks. Having worked overseas in both America and England, she has been back in South Africa for about two years and now operates from Fourways, Johannesburg. Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle or just follow a healthy eating plan; Carlette is passionate about helping people live healthier lives.

Tasty simple snacks

I enjoy eating healthily but sometimes feel at a loss for how to make exciting healthy food and what quantities are best. So when I see a snack list that has items like chocolate (no. 7), sushi (no.9) and popcorn (no. 22) – I’m sold! That’s why I’m so excited that I get to share with you Carlette’s personal list of tasty and simple snacks of 100 calories or less.
