encompass chocolate cake, Victoria sponge, iced buns, cream buns, custard slices, and sweetened tea.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n Rather than opting for unhealthy choices, adults are now leaning towards more nutritious alternatives during their tea breaks, like Greek yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, and carrot sticks paired with hummus.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n And fitness influencers on social networking sites such as<br \/>\n TikTok<br \/>\n could be accountable for the change.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">\n As evidenced by the research, health-aware Brits aim to shake up their snacking habits,&#8221;
