In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, staying healthy is extremely important. Every day, you need to eat the right amounts of food from each category, and achieve the daily minimums. Here is a list of healthy snacks that are fun to make, and good for you!
1. Bliss balls
Bliss balls are so yummy! Go for ones that are packed with healthy fruits, nuts, and grains. You can choose from: peach, dates, apples, apricots, the list is endless! The best thing is, you can substitute different fruits and different nuts, making your own perfect bliss ball.
2. Sweet Potato Chips
This one is super easy to make. Just thinly slice some sweet potato and bake it! You could also try using radishes, or apples. For apples, add some cinnamon for a super yummy apple-cinnamon ring!
3. Fruit Salad!
A classic, fruit salad can go a long way to keeping your body healthy and satisfied. Chop up some fruit, and you're done! I love slowly munching through my bowl of chopped fruits, while I'm at my desk studying/working!
4. Trail mix
Make your own trail mix with nuts, granola, dried fruit, pretzels, and whatever you fancy! Add whatever you want, and skip whatever you don't want. Seriously easy, seriously good.
5. Dip and Veggie Sticks or Crackers
Having veggie sticks and crackers with a bit of dip is so yummy. Chop up some veggies, place some healthy crackers on a plate, and make your favourite dip. You can make avocado dips, hummus', cheese dips, yogurt dips, and much more!
6. Muffins
Blueberry muffins. Banana muffins. Choc muffins. Apple cinnamon muffins. The list is seriously endless here. You can eat them for breakfast, or for a snack. Look for the healthy versions online!
7. Nice cream!
On a hot summer's day, this is perfect, and super easy. All you need to a frozen banana, and optionally some milk and ice. Whiz it all up, and you have a delicious banana nice cream! For other flavours, you can add some mint extract to the banana base, or add some choc chips. Whiz it up with some spinach for a great, healthy colour!
8. Smoothies
Mmm... yummy fruit smoothies! They're so healthy, and so tasty! Add some fruit, milk, and ice, and whiz it all up. you can use any fruit too, and it's all in your hands. Get creative!
9. Greek yogurt
Before I tasted greek yogurt, I thought that I wouldn't like it. Until I actually tried it... and oh, it's actually SO yummy! I love the flavour of greek yogurt, that sweetened yogurt with additives don't have. Though greek yogurt isn't very sweet, I love the flavour so, so much. Plus, it's way healthier than sweetened yogurt. If greek yogurt isn't sweet enough for you, you can try adding some chopped up fruits. For a delicious crunch, add some granola. Or, you can turn it into a savoury dip, for your veggies and crackers!
10. Eggs
Boiled eggs, devilled eggs, poached eggs, omelettes... the list goes on. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of boiled eggs at all. But, devilled eggs... SO good! You can do your eggs however you like, but try to avoid fried eggs, and methods that use large amounts of oil, butter, sugar, or salt. Eggs have amazing nutritional value, and give you some great vitamins, minerals, and energy.
So, here's my list of 10 healthy snacks to eat! If you're still reading this, thank you so much. And, please stay safe! Avoid going outside too much, wash your hands, be hygienic, and look after yourself :) Remember to eat healthy and exercise, and do something fun! Enjoy!

An Ode to the Flavours of Rhodes
I write this as the sun shines. The blades of grass that are ankle-high on my lawn shimmer as the wind ruffles through them in swirls. They look like they are watching an erratic tennis match. From here, in my kitchen, it is tempting to imagine sitting amongst them, perhaps with a bowl of strawberries and cream on my lap. But then, a big, dark, blooming cloud sashays across and blocks out the sun, stealing the shimmer of the grass and the golden light from my patio window. Cold drops down like the blade of a sword, and I remember that I can't sit on the grass because the earth beneath it is soaked with months of rain and that if I wanted to enjoy the warmth of the outside, I would need thermals to see the distance. The swing in temperatures going on today is verging on violence
