Aussie Apples Teams Up with Olympian Tina Rahimi
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.
