Having a healthy snack readily available on a busy day is a great way to avoid that mid afternoon hanger rush, which often leads to the urge to grab something less nutritious, less affordable and often less enjoyable.

Rich in protein, healthy fats and fibre, they are nutritionally balanced, helping to stabilise blood sugar levels and leave you feeling satisfied until your next meal.
