Have What You Crave – With Fibre One 90 Calorie Brownies!
Making healthy choices doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. With Fibre One 90 Calorie Brownies you can have your cake and eat it, too, without derailing your best intentions.
Denial may not be a river in Egypt – but nor is it high on our list of things we love. Why’s that? Well, who wants to go through every day depriving themselves of what they really want? Not us, that’s who.
But sometimes you have to make sacrifices – after all, the body of our dreams (hallo, Gigi Hadid) won’t make itself, and we know that a diet of croissants, doughnuts and milky chai lattes isn’t going to win any health-related awards.
So we’re figuring out how to balance what we want with, y’know, what our bodies need – without feeling deprived at the end. Sound good? Here are some smart swaps that’ll have you salivating and leave you super satisfied (promise!).
Drop
Doughnuts – too much refined sugar and, er, not much else!
Devour
Amelia Freer’s hazelnut chocolate salted caramels – more delicious than you could ever imagine.
Drop
Chocolate brownies – yes, they’re tasty but they’re also incredibly dense, sugary and high in calories.
Devour
Fibre One 90 Calorie Chocolate Fudge Brownies – at €3.99 for a box of five (available at Dunnes and Tesco stores nationwide), they’re higher in fibre and lower in fat, making a seriously healthy way to indulge.
Drop
Your good old-fashioned cheese toastie, laden with butter, empty calories and tasty, tasty cheese.
Devour
A slice of Heather Crosby’s super seed bread, topped with mashed avocado and chilli seeds. Good fats = happy body.
Drop
Lemon cheesecake – with the average slice rocking up at 350-odd calories, it doesn’t leave much room for, y’know, much of anything else in the day!
Devour
Fibre One’s 90-Calorie Lemon Drizzle Squares – they’ll totally satisfy your sweet tooth without pushing you over the edge.
