Aussie Apples Teams with Olympian Tina Rahimi to Combat Snackgrets
Australian boxer and Olympic champion, Tina Rahimi, has joined forces with Aussie Apples to tackle snackgrets - a new term coined by Aussie Apples to describe the instant regret after unhealthy snacking - and to inspire Australians to make smarter snack choices.
The No Snackgrets Report, unveiled today by Aussie Apples, highlights that while 93% of Australians snack everyday, more than half of Australians (57%) experience snackgrets at least once a week, with almost a quarter (24%) facing this regret daily. The report also reveals that 47% of Australians feel eating an unhealthy snack is as regrettable as forgetting a child’s school performance. Aussie snackers are also 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%).
Reflecting on her recent experience competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics, Tina says: “Even Olympians aren’t immune to snackgrets! 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.”
While most (93%) Australians snack every day, their choices often lead to snackgrets, particularly after indulging in sweet treats (73%), chips (61%), and baked goods (56%). Despite this, 85% of 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%).
Tina agrees with the 89% of Australians surveyed who believe apples are a snackgret-free choice, “One of the best things about Aussie Apples is they're an incredibly convenient snacking option. Youcan 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, ” added Tina.
