How can i eat healthily when i have no time to cook?

No time to cook? Don't reach for the choccy biccys, grab one of these snacks.

Mash half an avocado and spread over toasted granary bread. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a little black pepper.

To satisfy a sweet craving - slice a banana or 1⁄2 a mango into a bowl, top with some Greek-style natural yogurt, a drizzle of honey and a sprinkling of shelled almonds.

Spread split and toasted muffins with low-fat cream cheese and top with ribbons of smoked salmon and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Spread cottage cheese onto wholegrain crackers and top with chopped dates.

Spread houmous onto rice cakes. It might not be that healthy but i love cream cheese spread on rice cakes with sun blushed tomatoes, to die for!!!

Top oatcakes with slices of mature Cheddar and top with a little tomato chutney.

Combine a selection of nuts, dried fruit and seeds to munch on – try mixing whole almonds, hazelnuts, dried cranberries, sultanas and pumpkin seeds. Keep close at hand for the occasional snack.

Toast a slice of multiseed loaf. Top with slices of ripe tomato, then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a little balsamic vinegar, and season with black pepper.
