What snacks do you eat?
« on: February 11, 2019, 02:35:49 PM »
I am often hungry.  About mid-afternoon.  I have dried fruits/nuts; bananas; I try not to reach for chocolate, scones, biscuits but find it difficult.  I am sure that I started a similar thread  :-\

What do others reach for?

Bananas first, then if still not satisfied, which I usually find I'm not,
I go for special k bars, or alpen  bars,  if I'm craving something sweet, it's usually biscuits,
my favourite are jammy dodgers, chocolate I usually leave until night time, unless I'm out and need sugar quick, then its got to be a snickers...

Not very healthy, but I suppose it could be worse...
Here CLKD, have a slice of 🍰..........🤫😉

Fighting off this yucky flu bug going around, I've gone off sweet stuff - hooray.

So I've been snacking on salt and vinegar rice cakes with Hummus or crackers and cheese spread.
Sticking to a savoury theme - I've just had a mug of chicken oxo and dunked some wholemeal bread and butter  ;D

>hands back plate, licked clean  ;D <  :thankyou:

Oh Salad -  :foryou:

salt and vinegar crisps are a good idea: I'm on Pringles right now
DH is cooking evening meal: chopped pork tender loin stir fried with fresh veg on rice
Went off bananas when I got a mealy one last week  :o  :-\
We have bars but I've gone off those  ::)
Jammy dodgers  :sick02:
Rice cakes didn't do it
What's hummus - sounds like something that David Beckham would drive  ;)

Off shopping tomorrow so will have a look-see at what might be suitable.

we no longer have biscuits or crisps in the house, except at Christmas. 

We have fruit, nuts and full fat live yogurt. 

Really miss a biscuit with a cup of tea though.  ::)

Glad your back Jay?

Forgot to mention the rice cakes, chocolate ones for me, but I'm partial to the caramel ones too.  Had cheese n crackers last night before bed, tonight might be crumpets n butter.

Can't stand hummus......🤮

I keep my tomatoes out of the fridge. Vine ones which smell of tomatoes. If you fancy something bread-y or cake-y, CLKD, put a piece of bread in the toaster. While toasting, chop one tomato in bowl with slug of olive oil, salt and pepper and handful of herbs from windowsill (I'm addicted to coriander and to basil). Straight on the toast. Instant bruschetta in one or two minutes, very filling and not bad for you xxxx
