We're in the mood for healthy ice cream!

The sun is shining. Time to enjoy a delicious, guilt-free frozen treat!

It's a glorious May day and what better to compliment the sunshine than a cone or cup of ice cream?! I know what you are probably thinking: "That sounds delicious but it's not very healthy." In most cases, this is very true. But what if I told you that we've found a delicious treat that is almost the same as ice cream but doesn't have the same number of calories. Yes, it's true. This kind of treat does exist!

Check out this video from Shape Magazine featuring celebrity chef Judy Joo from Iron Chef UK. In it she gives a tasty and healthy recipe of Faux Banana Ice Cream!

Satisfy the inner snack monster with this healthy, green treat!

Avocados? Yummm! They are a tasty way to get some essential nutrients at snack time...

I love snack time. I could snack all day. This love of snack food could be a very bad thing or it can be a very good thing! It all depends on what you eat!

If you don't like avocados, this may not the treat for you. But! Consider this: avocados are a power food filled with essential nutrients such as fibre, potassium, vitamin E, vitamin B (and it's complexes), folic acid, vitamin K and magnesium!

Catherine of Rabbit Food for My Bunny Teeth shared a tasty looking recipe that will certainly keep snack time healthy:

Avocado Honey Snack

Doesn't that look delicious?! Enjoy!

Popcorn time with Webber Naturals!

Add some pizzazz to your movie night snack with this Tasty Tuesday tip of the week!

What is the most popular snack to buy or make when you are watching a movie? Popcorn! When you go to the cinema, the smell of popcorn is everywhere. Open those doors and you are most likely walking into a cloud of popcorn aroma that make a cartoon trail to the snack bar! Look on the floor and you will probably see pieces of the buttery corn treats that have been dropped on the way to the different screening rooms.

At home, although probably less messy (seeing as we would have to clean it up ourselves), popcorn is a quick and easy go to for a snack. Who hasn't heard the unmistakable popping from the microwave or stove as the buttery, salty smell begins to fill the kitchen?!

As delightful as this snack is, sometimes, I'm not in the mood for the butter-soaked movie house option or the salty (20% or more of your daily sodium!), microwavable packets. On top of the sodium, there's also those pesky trans fats and mystery preservatives! So what's our alternative without sacrificing this classic movie snack? It's time to turn to the blank canvas of fresh air-popped popcorn! Did you know that plain air-popped popcorn is full of antioxidants and three cups contains as much fibre as a cup of brown rice?! It may be dull and tasteless alone but it gives you the creative kitchen freedom to make your very own flavoured popcorn! And there's no need to limit yourself to butter!

Check out SHAPE Magazine's tips to dress your popcorn from nutritionists, food bloggers, healthy chefs and popcorn enthusiasts in 25 Easy, Delicious Ways to Flavor Popcorn Without Salt!
