5 Healthy Snacks for Weight Loss Using Nordic Lingonberry Powder

Whole fruits are the healthiest choice for snacks. Fruits are low in calories while rich in vitamins, potassium, fibre and other nutrients.

Depending on the season, there are usually a wide variety of fruits available at the market. The best fruits for weight loss include:

• Berries
• Grapefruit
• Passion fruit
• Apples
• Kiwi
• Melons
• Oranges
• Stone fruits
• Bananas

So, how do fruits aid in weight loss?

You lose weight when your body achieves a high calorie deficit―burning more calories than you consume. The low-calorie content of fruits makes it easy to achieve a high calorie deficit without going hungry.

The high fibre content in fruits makes them filling and suppresses your appetite.

You can choose to eat your fruits whole or make a fruit platter. Different fruits have different nutrient contents so with a fruit platter, you get more nutrients overall.

How to Make a Fruit Platter With Lingonberry Powder

The key to a delicious fruit platter lies in both the fruit selection and the dip.

Select fruits with different flavours and textures to complement fruits with either bland or less appealing flavours. For example, the sugar in bananas and berries can lessen the tangy taste of kiwi fruit.

Preparation:

1. First, make sure the fruits are ripe.
2. Wash the fruits in warm water, then peel, slice and plate.
3. For one serving, add a tablespoon of lingonberry powder to nut butter, then blend or whisk until you get a smooth consistency. Enjoy!

Nuts are rich in fibre and protein that will keep you full for longer, helping you avoid overeating.

The sweet, delicate taste of lingonberry powder blends well with the earthy flavour of nut butter for a delicious fruit dip.

“Carefully packaged and fresh lingonberry powder. I live down south so there are no lingonberries. I love the flavour and tartness. Great value for the money. You can use the powder in so many ways. I love it in my yoghurt and made a cream pie in a macadamia nut crust at Christmas. Yummmm! ”
