We have been getting quite a lot of emails and questions from people in the Gym about healthy snacks. You probably fall into this category too (not many people dont!) and find it hard to know whats good for you between meals. You may also have seen many debates on various websites about fruit and is it actually that good for us. There are points for both sides of the argument – eating too much high sugar fruits may cause you to increase you waist line, eating too little and you are missing out on vital nutrients. You may also fall into the category of not consuming any fruit at all and if you still crave something sweet then a ‘Healthy Pina Colada’ is a tasty snack containing many nutrients that tastes amazing!
