Aussie Apples has joined forces with Australian boxer and Olympic champion, Tina Rahimi, to tackle ‘snackgrets’.
The new term coined by Aussie Apples describes the instant regret after unhealthy snacking.
According to Aussie Apples’ new ‘No Snackgrets Report’, while 93% of surveyed Australians snack every day, more than half (57%) experience snackgrets at least once a week, with almost a quarter (24%) facing this regret daily.
The report also reveals that 47% of respondents feel eating an unhealthy snack is as regrettable as forgetting a child’s school performance. Snackers, too, are twice as likely to regret having an unhealthy snack compared to “chucking a sickie” (47% vs 25%) or binge-watching a TV series (47% vs 22%).
“Even Olympians aren’t immune to snackgrets,” says Ms Rahimi. “There were times during training when I craved something quick and easy but reaching for the wrong snack left me feeling sluggish.
“That’s when I turned to apples – they’re a delicious, filling snack that’s enough to help me bounce back. Keeping Aussie apples in my snacking routine was like having a secret weapon in my corner, helping me stay on track and keep me focused.”
85% of surveyed Australians want to make healthier snack choices, with 97% recognising apples as a great option due to their nutrients (53%), natural sweetness (47%), and high-fibre content (41%).
“One of the best things about Aussie apples is they’re an incredibly convenient snacking option,” says Ms Rahimi. “You can grab one on the go or enjoy them with a bit of nut butter for a balanced and satisfying snack that’ll keep the snackgrets at bay.”
Aussie Apples are available at all major grocery stores, independent retailers, and local food markets.
