Let’s face it - it’s super tough to stay strong in the face of temptation, especially when it comes in the form of your favourite sinful foods. But what if you could have your cake, and eat it too? In this article, we bring you 4 options which bring you the same satisfaction as your favourite foods, but are way healthier. Here’s to guilt-free eating!
#1: Three Ingredient Cookies

Who else can’t walk past a Famous Amos store without buying a bag of cookies? Snacking on just 100g of these cookies will add 500 calories to your daily intake, so we recommend baking your own cookies at home instead.
Consisting of oatmeal, bananas, and chocolate chips, these cookies are as healthy as they come. If you eat the same 100g of these homemade cookies, you’re consuming only 160 calories - so go ahead and have these as and when you like!
#2: Apple Chips

Potato chips are insanely addictive to munch on, but they’re also high in sodium and fat. Instead of getting your potato chips from the store, here’s what you can do: make your own low-calorie apple chips at home!
It’s easy to make apple chips - just slice up the apples, and then bake them in the oven. Again, these are a way healthier alternative; they contain only 20% of the calories that regular chips do.
#3: Cocoa Drink

We all love our Starbucks drinks, but did you know that a single Peppermint Hot Chocolate drink from Starbucks can more than max out your sugar quota for the entire day?
For a healthier alternative, we recommend the Amazonia Spiced Rich Cacao and Ayurvedic Spices blend. This drink is certified organic, packed full of antioxidants, and it contains no gluten, dairy, soy, corn additives, preservatives or GMOs. It’s even sugar free!
#4: Edamame

Craving for something savoury, such as french fries? Fast food obviously isn’t the best for you - but you can easily swap this out for a healthier option, such as edamame.
These are pretty much foolproof - all you need to do is buy a packet at the nearest supermarket, and follow the instructions on the back. If you’re feeling a little fancy, go ahead and sprinkle some pepper and Tabasco sauce on top. That’s all there is to it - and your body will thank you for the extra fibre and protein that you’re giving it!
