Default What snacks do you eat that aren't crisps, fruit or raw vegetables?

Basically I want a greater variety of snacks on my rota and thought I'd crowdsource the effort.

What type of things do you have other than the obvious crisps (unhealthy), fruit (meh) and raw veg (already covered)?


I sometimes boil up a handful of eggs and refrigerate them to eat later with a bit of salt and pepper. Otherwise, crisps or apples.

Don't snack.
Has zero upside, messes with ya metabolism.
It's normally habit, so try to slowly wean yourself away from it.

To stay on topic and keep the thread alive....Haribo ? Popcorn? Chocolate popcorn?

KIND Caramel Almond & Sea Salt Snack Bars. That's where it's at! I'm not sure how healthy they are. Especially as I consider a pot noodle as part of my 5 a day. Although it does have sea salt in them. So that's something I suppose.

So what you're really saying Dougie is that I need to become a Health Guru!

Gather round everyone! Let me impart my nutritional wisdom on you all! But first a prayer:

Oh blessed Pot Noodle. How great thou art! Let me ingest you and then spray you out oh so far. Amen

What was my point again Oh yes, you're right Dougie. You can't go wrong with almonds and dark chocolate. And it also tastes great

I don't really have time to snack on a weekday because I'm at work and we can't snack at work.

These suggestions depend on how faffy you want to get. I guess you could make batch snacks (I accidentally typed bitch snacks!) somethings like pinwheels, mini crustless quiches in a muffin tin. You can also make savoury muffins like sweet potato and cheese ones. Also sweet potato wedges. Skyr yogurt with some granola or berries. Baked oats in little ramekins. Sliced apple with peanut butter spread on them. Wedged Tomato with salt.

^ Quiche is literally my dream snack. I have considered buying one and cutting it into little bite-sized morsels and freezing, defrosting a handful every few days. Trouble is, I know I'd just end up eating half at a time, which wouldn't be especially healthy.

I like the sound(s) of those other things but don't know if I can do the faff. Would you do mail order?

(Also, hell yes to apple and peanut butter - so underrated.)
