We have for a long time demonized snacks mostly because we have always seen them as traps into reverting back to unhealthy eating. I get it. If you have ever tried going on a diet snacks is always the biggest challenge one has to face. This mentality also has to do with what we consider as snacks. Mostly when we think of snacks, our minds wonder to those isles packed with processed sugar products. I'm in no way saying grabbing a snack in those isles is a bad thing. Like I've said in this blog, no food is bad, otherwise it wouldn't be deemed consumable. The trick is understanding everything has to be taken mindfully. This recipe is an example of how you can incorporate those sweet cravings into something nutritious. Not only will it un-guilt the cravings, but it will also ensure that your getting in some healthy nutrients too. It is also a recipe that will curb the hunger pangs and keep you full till your next meal. Yoghurt parfaits can also be enjoyed as breakfast. lets get into the recipe
