Lisa Snowdon encourages women to snack smarter
Model, presenter and fashionista, Lisa Snowdon has teamed up with California Almonds to encourage women to be smart about their snacking habits.
Renowned for her model looks and healthy lifestyle, Lisa knows that the best way to help keep her going while juggling a hectic schedule is to snack on something that can provide her with the nutrients she needs to get her through the busy day. Snacking on a handful of almonds helps her keep hunger pangs down and energy levels up. It’s her must-have snack that is a natural source of protein and packs more fibre, calcium and vitamin E than any other tree nut.
“With my hectic schedule, it’s important to keep my energy levels high” comments Lisa.
“I always keep a pack of almonds in my handbag as they are the perfect on-the-go snack that I can just throw in my bag – perfect for those early starts! But what’s more, I love that just a handful of almonds stop me giving into those naughty cravings.”
Recent research from California Almonds reveals that over a half (57%) of UK women admit to impulse snacking and reaching for unhealthy treats. While 54% of women carry snacks in their handbags, the trouble is they don’t always make the smartest snacking choices.
To help shake up the nation’s snacking habits, Lisa is working alongside nutritionist Juliette Kellow to provide tips on how to snack smart with treats that pack a nutritional punch.
