I'm a fan of Medjool dates. I also eat a lot of bananas. Unfortunately, I've been pigging out on chocolate chip Clif bars. I know that's not the best thing... but it does fill me up for awhile.
What do you reach for as a snack?
Cheap oatmeal cookies.or gingersnaps... us dogs love them. I mean me and my two puppies...lol.
I love really crisp gingery ginger snaps! And, thinking of cookies, love Oreo LEMON. I rarely buy either -- once a year maybe. They are too good.
@BlueWave. You look like you control your weight and shape.... that's a pluss... good for you!
Honey roasted crunchy peanut butter right out of the jar with a spoon.
Dates are almost too sweet for me. I'll eat them sometimes, but I prefer bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, etc., which are also very sweet but somehow don't have the candy-like flavor of dates. For something crunchy, I've been eating roasted, unsalted peanuts or raw almonds.
Cheese and crackers and pepperoni. Specifically, Triscuits, cheddar, and Hormel pepperoni that I microwave on a thick layer of paper towels to melt off most of the grease. And it makes the pepperoni warm and crispy. Yummmmmmmmm
Cheez-Its. LOL! I'll grab a few of those if I just wanna put something in my mouth. I also eat a lot of them on soup or chili. They are the perfect snack. <JK> TBH, I wish I could develop a healthy habit of snacking on fruit or raw veggies. I try to compensate for my questionable diet with vigorous exercise.
Peanut M&M's. I'm pretty much an addict.
regular m&ms once were my drug of choice when I was stressed, which at former job was way too often.
Beef jerkey never fails to satisfy my appetite when the moment arises.
LaCroix sparkling water, dehydrated fruit is good too, that’s if I’m not just grabbing what’s quick and available... then it’s always crappy high sugar or high salt stuff at work.
I'm a terrible junk food junk food junkie, but I'm getting better.
I'm with you on the bananas I get muscle cramps and they're the best cure.
I love love, love oranges. Pineapple is also one of my favs.
I get plenty of veggies like broccoli for dinner, but for snacks, I love fruit.
Chips, peanuts, cashews, and ice cream. 2 of those things aren't too good for me lol
I've become addicted to Marzetti Southwest Ranch Dip and raw vegies, e.g., carrots, celery, cauliflower, etc, with a slice of oat bread but that isn't easy - you have to chop and kill the vegetables ahead of time. But when evil engulfs me, nothing satisfies like Dove chocolates and tequila. Evil is sweet, cruel, and easy!
my second favorite but less portable is raw veggies with hummus.
Mixed nuts, low salt preferred. It is a sugar free high protein snack and very portable. I keep a jar of nuts on my desk at work, I have a tin of nuts in my purse. I have nuts at home.
Nothing in particular. Maybe rice cakes with p-nut butter.
Your comment about the Medjool dates brought back memories. Parvin, was a director of a private school in Dallas. One of her kids was the son of my sister. Her husband, also from Iran, was talking to Parvin and she had some dates (the Medjool were considered the best). He asked for one and she said only if you get me one and our relationship was the result of his answer. She told me, when she was growing up, during the season her mother would get a barrel full of dates and dole them out throughout the year. What would you do with a barrel full of Medjools?
@silvereyes Interesting, how do you make nut milk? I discovered I have a slight problem with soy (and me a vegetarian). However, I recently discovered that silk has a new, high protein nut milk (almond and cashew). I use it to augment my work-outs and it has done wonders for me.
