Healthy Snacking? - Blu-ray Forum

blu-glu · 08-16-2010, 12:43 AM

This thread was inspired in part by the Junk Food thread. Is there any love for healthy snacks? (especially when watching a good blu).

I usually go for less than a handful of walnuts (20-30 grams).

What do you guys go for?

Fruits/vegetables.

Clark Kent · 08-16-2010, 12:47 AM

Almonds and walnuts are excellent snacks.

hidef al · 08-16-2010, 01:02 AM

A good handful of trail mix.

DarkRider23 · 08-16-2010, 01:07 AM

Cheese doodles.

Jokes aside, I usually eat some fruit. If I'm watching a movie, some sort of canned fruit in a bowl works so I can actually watch the movie and not have an apple in my face the entire time.

Fruit Salad with some sort of wine mixed in (a sweet wine usually) is very very tasty.

I'll have to try this; sounds good.

Dehydrated apples, peaches and bananas.

I like stuff that I consider refreshing . . . mostly fruits (pineapple especially), but lately I've been getting sweet cherry tomatoes at Publix that are fantastic, and great to just pop in your mouth.

Crackers and hummus. I either get some hummus from Trader Joes or Sabra Hummus

My favorites from Sabra are the Supremely Spicy, Roasted Red Pepper, Greek Olive and the Luscious Lemon.

Bingo!

All within the first 2 responses too. Yes, fruits, vegetables, and almonds are excellent choices. I'm hooked on Blue Diamond's Wasabi flavored almonds right now. Mmmmmmmm

Marcus Wright · 08-16-2010, 03:25 AM

Double cheese with popcorns and fries.

Mr. J · 08-16-2010, 12:43 PM

Nothing beats a cool crunchy apple

GLaDOS · 08-16-2010, 01:03 PM

Granola Bars

Al_The_Strange · 08-16-2010, 01:07 PM

Nuts, raisins, cheese, wheat crackers. Made a bean dip recently. Mmm...

I love Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds

CrystalLake · 08-16-2010, 02:47 PM

Im all about fruits for snacks later in the evening. Mainly oranges, grapes and apples.

phlydude · 08-16-2010, 06:59 PM

I was just at the grocery store and bought a pound of them just off of the recommendation here. Holy crap these things are awesome!

As for other nutritious stuff... My main go-to fruit are pineapples, macintosh apples, peaches, plums, watermelon, and bananas. I also like baby carrots, sunflower seeds, yogurt, avocado, and probably some other stuff I can't think of off the top of my head.

air popped popcorn lightly sprayed with zero calorie pam and salted slightly. Popcorn itself is actuallly surprisingly good for you if not coated with 5000 calories worth of butter and/or oil and 5 lb's of salt. also fruit is another classic for me

a weird combo that I found was carrot sticks dipped in salsa
