Having a meal balanced with fat, fibre + protein will help keep your blood sugar stable + keep you feeling full, prevent energy crashes + sugar cravings. A way to still enjoy the sweet stuff, is to have it as dessert - meaning after a main meal rather than a snack isolated on its own. Your body will thank you.

Remember though, that life is all about balance, so if you really want that Cadbury crunchie bunny that you’ve had every year since you can remember - just eat the bunny 🐰🍫
