Snack Attack

When the clock hits 3pm-ish in the Girl Power office, our tummies start grumbling. We bet it’s the same for you! You probably need an after-school snack STAT to stop your stomach making more noise than an angry lawn mower.

But what’s a girl to munch on when she’s feeling ravenous? Comment or email us (girlpower@next.com.au) with your best snack recipes and tips!

Here are some of our favourites:

Mmm Milkshakes

Milk is a great hunger-buster because it fills you up fast and it’s packed with good stuff like calcium for healthy bones.

Try

1. Two spoonfuls of Milo, one cup of milk and stir for a chocolatey treat.
2. Whack a banana, a dollop of honey and one cup of milk in a blender.

Brilliant Biscuits

Top a cracker or rice cake with vegies, fruits and spreads for an easy-peasy snack to stop your tummy moaning and groaning.

Try

1. Vegemite and sliced cheese.
2. Cheese spread and sliced apple.

STILL HUNGRY?

Try

1. Munching on a bowl of cereal – it’s not just for breakfast!
2. Popping up some homemade popcorn (ask Mum or Dad for help)
3. It’s a classic for a reason, so whip up some cheese on toast!
4. Yoghurt topped with sliced banana or berries. DELICIOUS!
5. Making your own ‘Scroggin’ with mixed nuts and dried fruits.

ARE YOU STILL HUNGRY???

You can’t be!!!

Did you know your body can sometimes trick you and make you feel hungry when you’re actually thirsty? Before you chow down on every edible item in sight, sit down and have a big drink of water.
