Chinese New Year is around the corner! Have you guys prepared your candy box at home? Traditionally, the box contains snacks that are high in sugar, like sugar-coated lotus, winter melon etc. I have recommended some healthier options with meanings behind!
笑口常開 (Smiles all year around)
Pistachio + mejool date with walnuts. These are all natural and rich in fibre. Choose nuts that have no added sugar and salt to enjoy its original flavour. Mejool dates are naturally sweet; I personally love the date and nut combo, try it out!
有米過新年 (Have a prosperous new year!)
These rice crackers 🍘 are non-fried, savoury and coated with seaweed. They are very tasty. Check the food label before purchasing to make sure they are puffed, not deep fried
金玉滿堂 House full of gold + jade (wealth)
Gold is represented by dried mango whereas Jade is represented by banana chips. Again, purchase those without any added sugar or salt
甜甜蜜蜜 (Life sweet as honey)
For those with a sweet tooth you can opt for konyaku jelly and dark chocolate. Have you tried those konyaku jelly with chia seeds? Chia seeds are rich in fibre, which increases satiety
金銀滿屋 (House full of gold & silver - Abundance)
I chose pumpkin and sunflower seeds to represent gold and silver. Again, choose toasted seeds without oil or salt added.
Get ready for a healthy Year of the Mouse!
大家準備咗新年全盒嘅嘢食未啊？
啱啱先過完聖誕節，肚腩仔都未細返又到農曆新年～咁不如大家一齊揀啲健康嘅小食放喺2020年嘅全盒啦！雖然以下建議嘅都係較健康嘅小食，但係積少成多，所以一件起，兩件止！全盒裏面一般嘅食物都有寓意嘅，呢D健康建議都唔例外！
笑口常開：無添加開心果 + 蜜棗夾核桃
堅果含高不飽和脂肪酸，核桃更含Omega-3！堅果記得揀無添加，冇放入額外糖或者鹽份。蜜棗夾合桃呢個配搭我都幾鍾意食，蜜棗本身嘅甜味足以滿足我想食甜野嘅渴求
有米過新年：紫菜醬油米餅
呢啲係日本嘅非油炸米粉，既好食，又較低熱量，仲有紫菜調味。 記得睇清楚營養標籤確保米餅並非油炸
金銀滿屋
想加點微甜的小食，乾果類亦是一個不錯的選擇。可以揀選天然無添加的乾果，如芒果乾，香蕉脆片等。要留意包裝上的營養標籤，選擇無添加糖份或防腐劑的乾果和乾果脆片！
甜甜蜜蜜
蒟蒻，主要成份是水和膳食纖維，低卡，不含脂肪。市面上仲有啲係加咗奇亞籽入去嘅，飽肚感會更高呢！
金銀滿屋：葵花籽、南瓜籽
含豐富不飽和脂肪酸和抗氧化效果的維生素E，而且天然不經加工炒製，代替傳統瓜子的好選擇。
快啲買啲健康嘅小食放入全盒度啦！祝大家鼠年健康快樂！
