I tend to snack when I’m bored, which is more often than I’d like to admit. I’m currently snaking on Black and White trail mix from Target. Basically chocolate and yogurt covered peanuts and raisins.
What about you? Both healthy and unhealthy snacks welcome.
I love snacking on hard pretzels. I prefer the small sticks over the big ones:
I’m having that exact snack as I type this. Crunch and salt :)
So good! Get you a Fresca to go with it.
Humus. Especially with garlic. It’s filling and better for you than almost all standard snacks.
Cut up carrots like sticks and use them to scoop up the hummus if you don’t already. It’s even more delicious and healthier than pita bread/nachos/… and adds a nice crunch to it.
Do you prepare them somehow or you just buy the carrot and cut it? Sorry if it’s a dumb question, I love hummus and I’m curious about eating it with carrots, it’s just that I’ve never eaten them raw
I guess either way works. I’m in Europe, and over here, we usually buy our fruits and vegetables from the fruits and veggies grocer, and not the supermarket. So in my case, I buy them hole, peel the outer layer with a peeler, then cut them in half longwise, then continue cutting them longwise until they are about 2-3 centimeters thick (maybe 1/4"??? not sure about imperial system).
You can also buy baby carrots (the name is a lie) from a supermarket and you’re good to go.
Side note: baby carrots are actually full size carrots that are “ugly” looking, so customers tend to avoid them. Instead of throwing them away, they cut them into what looks like baby carrots and sell them that way.
2-3cm would be around 1" btw. 1/4" would be roughly 6mm.
That is an excellent idea! Chips or flatbread are both less healthy.
Honey-mustard dry bretzels bits
This is a weird one, but olives. Not too many, but just a couple at a time hits the perfect spot of refreshing and salty for me.
I am snacking on home made cheese-it recipe that I gotten from this video https://youtu.be/G5NEwx6KqPM
What type of cheese did you end up using for this?
what i had on hand, i used half cheddar and half mozzarella!
Chips sometimes.
Liquorice
Buddha pop popcorn, and pistachios. I have huge boxes of each in my office at work.
The bones of my enemies.
Uncooked ramen noodles is my go-to. Nice and crunchy!
Halo Top Ice Cream is my go to.
I have to watch my sodium intake, so a lot of snacks aren’t allowed any more. I miss pork rinds and pretzels.
I’ll have fruit (cherries are in season now and I can eat a pound of them in one sitting even though my stomach will hurt later), tortilla chips, lightly salted peanuts, a cookie (my local grocery store makes their own for $5/dozen and they’re fantastic), or sometimes a slice of Swiss cheese.
Home-made cookies. I’m adding dried apricots, walnuts, peanuts, flaxseed, sunflower seeds and roasted coconut shrims.
Mac’s Salt and pepper pork rinds.
Andy Capp’s Hot Fries are a weakness of mine as well.
Jolly Time microwave cheese popcorn.
Bold chex mix is the favorite I keep going back to, but pretzels or a pistachio nut mix are great too.
