Choosing healthier snacks in the shops

If you're short on time, here are some good ideas for snacks that you can pick up in the shops:

a slice of malt loaf

lower-fat, lower-sugar fromage frais

plain rice cakes or crackers with lower-fat cheese

sugar-free jelly

a crumpet

a scotch pancake

Check the packaging

If you're buying other snacks off the shelf, paying attention to the packaging and nutrition labels can also help you make a healthier choice.

Keep an eye out for the "Good choice" badge on products in store and when shopping online to help you quickly find healthier options.

Many products also have traffic light labels on the front of packs, which can be a really useful guide when deciding which ones to buy. Pick ones with more greens and ambers on the label, and cut down on snacks that show any reds.

Or scan the snack's barcode using the free NHS Food Scanner app to find out more about what's in it and quickly get suggestions for healthier alternatives.
