We test portable health snacks ahead of festival season
One of these snacks is very moreish TRIED & TESTED We test portable health snacks ahead of festival season GLASTONBURY kicks off on Wednesday, meaning festival season is now in full swing. That's great if you like music, partying and booze, but not so brilliant if you are trying to keep on top of your health as food and drinks at venues come with high prices and low nutrients. Advertisement One of the best things you can do is take some healthy portable snacks. Today, I've put some to the test . . . Turkey bar 3 Roam free-range turkey bar is just 95 calories per 45g bar, with 16.7g of protein ROAM free-range turkey bar is just that – a meat bar with a 12-month shelf life that you don't need to put in the fridge. Perfect for festivals. Advertisement This is 91 per cent turkey meat, with some whey protein concentrate to boost the protein levels and some salt, sugar, flavourings, mustard, yeast extract and herbs. It is just 95 calories per 45g bar, with 16.7g of protein. This is a great idea – think of a Peperami type snack without all the additives and made with just natural ingredients. From £2 a bar. Advertisement 40 Day Health Challenge dietitian's top 10 tips for healthy snacking Seaweed crisps 3 Emily sriracha seaweed crisps look like a very thin prawn cracker with seaweed inside EMILY sriracha seaweed crisps are made out of just that – seaweed – which is a 'superfood' as it is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. It contains iodine, which is great for thyroid function. Advertisement Obviously, you're better off with fresh seaweed as these also contain tapioca, corn oil, rice powder, sugar, salt and dried molasses. They look like a very thin prawn cracker with seaweed inside. They're spicy, crunchy – but oddly soft at the same time. However, you get used to this. Advertisement These are moreish. They have a bit of an odd smell, but that would probably go unnoticed at a festival. These are 5 per cent fibre but 36 per cent fat and 98 calories for an 18g bag. They are on offer at Ocado for 80p.

I tried the Tex Mex cheese, which is made from corn, sunflower oil, salt, cheese flavouring, maltodextrin starch from potatoes, colouring from red pepper and an antioxidant. Advertisement These are five per cent fat and five per cent fibre. Only 99 calories per 20g bag. They are crunchy and cheesy, but there is a lot of powder on them, so wet wipes at the ready. The little bags are a bit fiddly too. Advertisement Don't try if you don't love corn, as you can certainly taste that, but a healthy on-the-go snack if you do.

Britain's top ten favourite Indian dishes revealed from Samosas to Tandoori – where does yours rank?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A QUARTER of Brits are eating Indian-inspired foods and snacks more than 100 days a year, according to research. A poll of 2,000 respondents revealed 32 curries are cooked up annually, and the most frequent Indian snacks to be chomped are onion bhajis and samosas. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Samosas came in the top spot for Britain's favourite Indian food, scroll for the full list Credit: Getty 2 Some Brits even report eating more Indian style foods than traditional native snacks Credit: Getty At least 24 takeaways are ordered annually by 30 per cent of Indian-lovers – with tikka masala, korma, and biryani being the most favoured main meals, practically a takeaway every other week. But it's bad news for bland British favourites, as 54 per cent say Indian flavours have influenced the way they eat. In fact, the UK's love for Indian flavours runs so deep, one in 10 (nine per cent) reckon they eat more Indian-inspired foods than traditional British snacks and dishes, with 16 per cent eating a balance between the two. A spokesperson from Peperami, which commissioned the research, has released a chicken tikka skewers range, said: 'Britain is head over heels for Indian flavours. 'With a quarter of us tucking into spicy snacks and dishes over 100 times a year, it's clear we're a nation that craves more excitement on our plates. 'Plain, boring foods that taste like cardboard just don't cut it any more. 'Brits want big, punchy flavours, and the poll has shown they're bored stiff when it comes to the British options; it's time for something with a real bite." The research also revealed 69 per cent like to be experimental and try new Indian-inspired dishes or flavours - while 29 per cent went as far as to say they'd eat such foods every day if they could. On the spice scale, 63 per cent like it spicy, with 13 per cent keen on foods that are extra hot, and 18 per cent confident they could take on a Vindaloo. It also emerged 32 per cent are bored of their current go-to options, according to the data. Chef shares his Chicken Keema Karahi recipe When considering British snacks, 38 per cent believe they should include healthier ingredients, and 29 per cent would like to see more variety. Bigger flavour (21 per cent) and more spice (18 per cent) would also be welcomed, with 35 per cent believing most savoury snacks in shops today are 'boring' and 31 per cent seeing them as predictable. Cheese and onion and salt and vinegar were the flavours considered most overused or uninspired. Peperami's skewers were launched at The Glades shopping centre in Bromley, where shoppers were tasked with put their hand into a mystery box to pull out prizes from merchandise to a year's supply of the chicken tikka snack. A spokesperson from the brand added: 'British snacks can be boring – the research findings show us as much. 'And people nowadays are looking for varied flavours and something more exciting. 'A pork pie, scotch egg, or crisps from a supermarket are no longer going to cut it when people want a flavour hit.' More broadly, when it comes to snacking, five snacks are consumed between meals in a typical week, according to all respondents. And 40 per cent admit they have the same snacks on a regular basis, occasionally throwing a new one into the mix every so often.
