Here are nine easy Sirtfood snacks you can reach for when you need a SIRT top-up.
1 Green tea
1 cup (200ml) • 1 of your SIRT 5 a day • 0 calories
Never, ever, underestimate the healthy SIRT boost that a cup of green tea can give you. Have as many cups as you can per day – we recommend at least two cups. Not only that, the SIRTs in green tea are cumulative so you can get up to four portions of SIRTs daily if you have four cups of green tea or more.
2 Red grapes
10 grapes • 1 of your SIRT 5 a day • 30 calories
Another of the very easy Sirtfood snacks and a low-calorie way to get one of your SIRT portions. Keep a punnet or two in the fridge and have a handful at breakfast or lunch or even both!
3 Apples
1 apple • 1 of your SIRT 5 a day • 47 calories
An apple a day really does keep the doctor away. Reach for an apple as one of your after-lunch easy Sirtfood snacks. It will help keep sugar cravings at bay too.
4 Cocoa
2 tsp/10g cocoa • 1 of your SIRT 5 a day • 33 calories
Try making a chocolate shot with 2 tsp cocoa. 1 tsp sugar and 30ml milk. Mix the cocoa and sugar together with a little boiling water from the kettle to make a smooth paste. Stir in the milk. An (almost) instant chocolate hit with only 68 calories.
5 Olives
6 large black or green olives • 1 of your SIRT 5 a day • 75 calories
A versatile and easy Sirtfood snack in the afternoon or a pre-dinner treat. Serve at room temperature to get a fuller flavor.
6 Blackberries
15 blackberries • 1 of your SIRT 5 a day • 32 calories

7 Dark chocolate 85%
6 squares/20g chocolate • 1 of your SIRT 5 a day • 125 calories
Get your chocolate hit here! If you prefer 70% dark chocolate, you’ll need 9 squares/30g. which will be 180 calories.
8 Pomegranate seeds
50g/half a small pack • 1 of your SIRT 5 a day • 50 calories
Easy to obtain while on the go, pomegranate seeds pack a large SIRT punch and you only need half a 100g pack to get one of your SIRT portions.
