Chopped tropical fruits with a squeeze of lime, a pinch of salt, black pepper and chilli powder make a really healthy homemade fruit rojak.

Every Singaporean will love this local twist on a bowl of chopped fruit as this recipe really takes care of your fruit intake, especially when you are tired of munching on fruit without an extra kick. Just be cautious of how much salt you are sprinkling on these fruit.

This wacky sweet treat consists of a ripe avocado and dark chocolate. For a quick chocolate fix, toss a peeled avocado, ¼ cup cocoa powder, roughly ½ cup melted dark chocolate syrup and a splash of honey into a blender. That is all you need for a decadent chocolate mousse that serves two. The antioxidant powers of dark chocolate add a rich depth to the healthy fat that the avocado provides. It’s a double win.

Yes, you read that right. Mango and wholemeal bread make a surprisingly filling two-ingredient sandwich that can be prepared within minutes.

Mango’s naturally sweet pulp makes it an excellent substitute for fruit jam that is free from chemicals and preservatives.

Simply slice a mango and mash its pulp for a sweet and tantalising bread spread. We are sure this sunny sandwich will beat your Monday blues while satisfying your taste buds with its excellent fruity taste.

If you have not tried dates and peanut butter yet, you are seriously missing out. The rich and sweet flesh of the dates pair surprisingly well with salty and toasty peanut butter.

Simply cut up a few dates into two slices and fill the hollow curve of each slice with a tiny dollop of unsweetened peanut butter. This chewy, bite-sized snack contains lots of fibre while the peanut butter adds to its protein content. Enjoy these in moderation as dates are as heavy in calories as they are in minerals.

Boiled sweet potato cubes in a bowl of yogurt is an easy snack or side dish that checks off both your healthy carbohydrates and protein requirements.

This unexpected combination will blow your mind away with its superior taste, as the tangy yogurt brings out the sweetness of the sweet potato for an ultimate mouthful of goodness. This healthy snack will keep you full for long with its high fibre content.
