In the video Emma uses Olina&#8217;s Bakehouse seeded crackers and Ryvita, as well as crispy chickpea snacks from The Happy Food Co.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Add plenty of colourful veggies to the board\u200a\u2014\u200athink capsicum, radish, cucumber, carrots, cherry tomatoes, snow peas, sugar snaps, green beans, celery and whatever else looks good on the day!<\/li>\n<li>Make your own hummus or dips, or keep an eye out for store-bought ones that are made from only a few ingredients like chickpeas and lemon, and are refined sugar free. We have heaps of dip recipes on our blog, click <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.freshstartwithnadia.co.nz\/search?q=dip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a> to check them out<\/li>\n<li>Add olives to the spread for a dose of monounsaturated fats along with other deli items like artichokes and roasted capsicum.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Bake a salmon fillet, or opt for a store-bought wood roasted piece. Mussels, prawns or other shellfish are nutrient dense and are always popular on the platter.<\/li>\n<li>Fresh mozzarella is a tasty and naturally lower calorie cheese option, the piccolini balls with cherry tomatoes and basil are perfect for individual caprese skewers<\/li>\n<li>Feta or goat\u2019s cheese are other lower fat cheese options, rolled in a mix of black or white sesame seeds and chopped pistachios is delicious! You can also&nbsp; roll in dukkah or sumac and add a drizzle of honey. Bake it for 10 min at 160degC for a nice warmed option too.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Add fresh fruit like grapes to your platter for a little sweetness, and to accompany the cheeses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 Days of Health &amp; Wellness Day Five!
