Vitamin-rich snack: dried fruits

Whether figs, raisins, bananas, or apples. There is a delicious selection of dried fruits for everyone. These are not only tasty and healthy, but they also keep for a long time if stored appropriately. Dried fruits are high in calories but still very healthy. A perfect snack for the evening – regardless of whether you buy the snack ready-made or prepare it yourself. You can read about the ways in which you can dry the fruit yourself here:

  • In the oven: Cut the fruit into thin, seedless slices or cubes and place them on baking paper. Make sure the slices don’t overlap. Set the oven to around 50 degrees and bake the fruit with the door slightly ajar to let the moisture escape. You may need to turn thicker pieces periodically.
  • Preparing it in the oven can take many hours, so it should be done in advance for a quick snack to hand one evening.
  • In the dehydrator: You can dry the fruit more easily with a dehydrator. To do this, read the instructions for your device and follow the instructions.

Fruit yoghurt as a healthy alternative

Store-bought fruit yoghurt is usually full of sugar and therefore not very healthy. But you can also easily mix your own variation.

  • Simply mix yoghurt with some jam and add fresh fruit. This snack is suitable for any time of the day, whether for breakfast, before bed, or in between.
  • To get an even tastier result, use homemade jam at best. You can read about how you can easily make this yourself in our practical tip “Make jam yourself”.
  • If the yoghurt is not filling enough for you, you can also add a few teaspoons of oatmeal and mix it in.

Colourfully mixed snack classic: the trail mix

The delicious mix of different nuts and dried fruits are a perfect snack for the evening, but also at work or at school. It’s high in protein and healthy fats.

  • So instead of grabbing chips or similar snacks while watching TV, just grab the trail mix.
  • However, pay attention to price and quality.
