Evening snacking

26 replies

My DH and I have gotten into a habit of snacking with a drink in front of the telly in the evening a lot. We have young kids. Sometimes my DH goes out to his hobby, sometimes I do a bit of work. But often we watch TV together for a couple of hours.

We buy a large bag of crisps a week, sometimes a can of pringles too, or sometimes have salted peanuts, or sometimes I have crackers and cheese. I've always been naturally slim without much effort but it's finally catching up on me. I definitely need more exercise, but also want to switch to healthier evening snacks (or possibly stop the snacks altogether).

Would love to know what other people snack on with evening telly - any healthy options?

Thanks!

I find a good strategy is to brush my teeth earlier in the evening. Once I have brushed my teeth it feels really wrong to start eating again.

Roasted Kale with salt and balsamic vinegar is lovely and probably better than crisps but maybe have it just after supper.
