Prepare a month’s worth of sweet snacks for the family without white sugar

Hi – My name is Rhian and as well as being a busy mum of 2 little young boys – I am also the founder of The Healthy Mummy and the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge which I am super proud to say is transforming the lives of millions of mums all over the world.

Rhian sweet snacks

The Healthy Mummy is a health and weight loss program created for busy mums. It all started back in 2010 when I was pregnant and wanted to create a supportive and holistic program for mums. And now millions of mums use our famous 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge and Healthy Mummy Smoothies every day!

Check out Melissa Timmer below and her 5.9st transformation!

82 sweet treats without added white sugar

One of the BIG things I like to do and show mums is that healthy eating doesn’t need to be boring! You can still have sweet treats while on our 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge without the guilt or added calories.

So today, I did a little meal prep and made 82 sweet snacks to last my family for a month.

82 sweet snacks all without white sugar

The Healthy Mummy’s 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge meals are designed with a holistic approach, with no food group being cut out, everything in moderation and the most importantly, delicious!

This took me 2 hours to do which means I don’t have to cook again for the week (think: lunch box fillers) and because I’m cooking in bulk, I’m saving so much money – so although it is hard work  – it is 100% worth it!

Layered Nut Slice

Layered Nut Slice

This recipe:

Serves 14
Prep time 260 mins
Requires overnight prep

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cashews (90g)
  • 2/3 cup ground almonds (100g)
  • ½ cup desiccated coconut (50g)
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil (60ml)
  • 2/3 cup Medjool dates (120g)
  • 1 tbsp cacao/cocoa powder (8g)
  • ½ cup almond butter (80g)
  • salt
  • 3 tbsp warm water (45ml)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped hazelnuts

Method

  • Cover the cashews in water and soak overnight. Drain when ready to prepare the slice.
  • Line a small rectangular container (approximately 13cm x 19.5cm) that has a lid, with baking
    paper.
  • To make the first layer, place the cashews, ground almonds, coconut and one tablespoon
    of the coconut oil in a food processor and blend until a thick dough forms. Press this into the base
    of the container, set aside while you prepare the next layer.
  • To make the second layer, place the dates, cacao/cocoa powder, almond butter, remaining
    coconut oil, a pinch of salt, and the water into a food processor and blend until it’s smooth and
    creamy. Place this mixture on top of the other layer prepared previously. It can be a little sticky
    but if you wet your fingers you will be able to spread evenly pressing on top of the other layer
    without it sticking to your fingers.
  • To make the third layer, sprinkle the finely chopped hazelnuts evenly over the top and then place
    in the fridge for 4 hours.
  • Remove from the container by pulling out the baking paper and then cut into 14 pieces. One
    piece is one serve.
  • Store leftovers in the container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.

My 5 tips on how to reduce sugar from your diet

Rhian pasta
  1. Start slowly and methodically to avoid the pain of ‘detoxing’ and cravings. Taking each step a week or two weeks at a time. The slower you do it the more likely the change will stick.
  2. Instead of buying pre-made sauces, which is laced with sugar, make your own. Try our recipes for pasta with homemade sauce for a healthier pasta dish with no artificial nasties, and it’s great for the whole family too!
  3. Choose plain yogurt over flavoured. Some reduced-fat yogurts have additional sugar added to them and more specifically it is the flavoured yogurts that have an even higher sugar content and often calorie content.
  4. Avoid soft drinks! Start by sipping on fizzy water with lemon or some other fruit to try and wean yourself off, and by day 7 it should be a lot easier.
  5. Prep prep prep and plan plan plan so that you don’t fall into any traps or tricky situations.
