According to dietitian Susie Burrell , the transition from the winter slump doesn’t have to be so difficult<\/p>\n
Greek yoghurt<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Due to its low sugar content and high-level of protein, sugar acts as a healthier alternative to other varieties of the snack.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to Susie, those seeking a spring awakening should opt for one which also contains probiotics.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘The live bacteria that will help to feed the good bacteria in the gut,’ she said.<\/p>\n Greek yoghurt is recommended to be eaten as a snack, with a smoothie, or as part of a breakfast combination.<\/p>\n Prawns\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Renowned for their protein dense make up and low calorie count, prawns are a tasty option when paired with complementary spring snacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n But Susie says this may also come with a diner’s detriment, saying: ‘The biggest issue with prawns is what we eat them with’.<\/p>\n ‘If they are deep fried, or served with creamy sauces and dressings, the fat content will be significantly increased.’\u00a0<\/p>\n Pizza pronto!
