Swap chocolate for natural raisins
Looking to eat more healthily after an indulgent festive period? Cutting down on sugar is often a good place to start.
However, it can also be the type of sugar consumed that could make all the difference. So how about making the change to healthier snack? If you’re craving something sweet, California Raisins offers the best alternative to chocolate and crisps.
Grown in the San Joaquin Valley and dried in the warm California sunshine, these 100% natural raisins are high in potassium (which contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure, normal muscle function and normal functioning of the nervous system), and contain an abundance of vitamins and no added sugars — ideal for those striving to achieve a healthier lifestyle.
