Ok... a favourite dish of mine at the moment is:

Avocado
few tablespoons of raw cacao powder
few tablespoons of agave/honey
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
glug of almond/soya milk

chuck it in the blender/nutribullet and turn on until its a mousse.

have some fruit, etc with it and its a healthy alternative to loads of sugar/butter, etc...

Daren't think how many calories that has in it. 500? Sounds good, though.

using 2 avocados in the above and some chia seed results in the following info:

Serves: 4
Serving size: 108 g
Calories: 232
Fat: 14.4 g
Saturated fat: 3.5 g
Trans fat: 0.0 g
Carbohydrates: 25.7 g
Sugar: 17.3 g
Sodium: 12 mg
Fiber: 5.9 g
Protein: 1.4 g
Cholesterol: 0 mg

So not unbelievably bad, but its good fat and stuff rather than bad fat.

only website I got the data from.

They look great but let's face it, one is probably tiny. They used a macro lens. You'd have to eat 2 or even 3 to make it satisfying.

Easy peasy.

150 grams butter
150 grams brown sugar
300 grams porridge oats
3 tablespoons golden syrup

Mix all together, put in baking tray, oven for 25 minutes, sorted. Keeps perfectly well except it will be eaten in double quick time. Healthy? All natural ingredients....

Butter, sugar and syrup may be natural ingredients but.... healthy???

Just solid porridge, that's what it is I keep telling myself.

I would stop kidding myself if I was you. How many does that make? That recipe must easily be 3000 plus calories and God knows how much sat fat

Yep, Healthy.

Definitely not healthy... High in sugar, high in saturated fat, and not entirely different nutritionally from a Digestive...

Good call. Keeps fresh forever and is low in fat. Our son loves it I'd prefer him eating it to choc biccies.

I always have to put butter on malt loaf though...

[madzo14]

The non chocolatety hob nobs? At least they are slightly healthier....

Mush it all together in a bowl then put some egg-sized dollops on an oiled baking tray, in the oven at 180 degrees for 10-12 mins

Job done.

They are tasty but have you seen how much salt they have? I think they have more than a packet of McCoy's.

So you don't have a weight problem, have your 5 a day....I don't see a problem. Stick with your digestives, a man deserves a treat every day.

Bloody hell.

Cut down by half 5 instead of 10. As suggested try to make an alternative.

Best idea is certainly cut them out and have once and twice a week. Put it this way, it catches up with you eventually.

Sugar is addictive.
