… that won’t leave you feeling guilty.
There is no need to feel hungry when you are on the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Programme. Below are five guilt-free snack options you can munch on all day every day!
Liquorice Lovers Dream
If you love liquorice then fennel is for you. Fennel is mother earth’s liquorice. All you need to do is buy the fennel, slice it into pieces and there you have it, a great liquorice alternative that you can eat as much as you like.
Tony Ferguson Jelly Twister
Tony Ferguson Jelly is a great snack option on its own because you can have as much of it as you like! However if you want to try something new then this recipe is for you.
Ingredients
- One sachet of Tony Ferguson Jelly – Raspberry flavour
- 250ml caffeine free diet cola
Method
- Pour the contents of the jelly sachet into a bowl.
- Add 250ml of boiling water and stir until all crystals are dissolved.
- Add 250ml of caffeine free diet coke.
- Place in the refrigerator for approximately 4 hours or until set.
Enjoy!
- If you don’t like cola then try using the lemon & lime jelly with sugar-free lemonade instead.
Mixed Bag
If you are a big snacker, especially when you are at your desk in the office or in front of the TV then try the mixed bag.
Ingredients
- Tub of cherry tomatoes
- 1 Cucumber cut into sticks
- 1 Small carrot cut into sticks
- 4 Storks of celery cut into sticks
Method
- Place all the vegetable sticks and tomatoes in a zip lock bag and take with you to work to munch on during the day. Or put in a bowl and munch on them while watching TV.
When we are watching TV or working, we aren’t paying attention to what we are eating we just feel like snacking, so the mixed bag will allow you to do this guilt free!
Eggplant Chips
