Roasted wedges of butternut squash with some garlic and chilli, this hot or cold makes a great snack, serve it with a piece of feta and shredded sage
Cherry tomatoes, and combine a handful of those with anything protein
Roasted parsnips can be satisfying if you want something sweet

I have made a great discovery at the supermarket to add into Sue's snack ideas...
No added sugar jam! It's actually a fruit spread made by Dalfour - a French company - and you can find it with the jams. There are lots of different flavours and I bought the Four Fruits one the other day. Delicious!! very sweet so you only need a little but it's great added to yoghurt or on top of a rice cake.
It's made with just fruit and apple juice with a little gelling agent. Fab stuff!!! Give it a try. Dalfour call it 'Rhapsodie de fruit'!! Only the French can make sugar free jam sound sexy!!!
