Snack before bed

Do you have a snack before going to bed and if you do what is it?

Feeling peckish but not sure what to have. I usually have crackers with tomato or fruit and Greek yoghurt. Not in the mood for these tonight.

All help welcome wise ones Grin

I’ve just had banana on toast for my bed time snack, I have an early dinner so need something before bed.

Noneofourbusiness · 15/01/2024 23:55

@Jellycatspyjamas I forgot about toast on banana. That is winter yummy comfort food. I had ramin for dinner tonight feeling hungry now. If I don't eat a snack before bed I am all shaking and light headed in the morning. Hope you enjoyed your toast.

Toast and tea.

ItchyMaryHavingAFag · 15/01/2024 23:58

I’m about to have some quiche

Noneofourbusiness · 16/01/2024 00:00

In the mood for something a bit more pizzazz than toast and tea @Hermittrismegistus thank you though. On second thoughts will have tea.

@ItchyMaryHavingAFag oh I love quiche. It's a bit late to be making one though. Enjoy yours.

I like olives - feels like the oils will help me sleep. A little tapas-y plate. A breadstick or cracker or two. Some olives. A few sun dried tomatoes. Mushrooms from a jar. Cocktail stick! Cheeky gherkin?

Cereal, just had cornflakes😂but I don't eat breakfast so sometimes really fancy cereal at night.

Noneofourbusiness · 16/01/2024 00:12

@MrsBobtonTrent that sounds lovely. Last night I had ryvita with cream cheese and green olives.

@Mossstitch cornflakes are lush. Except if they go soggy.

Make an ommelet if you like quiche. Quick and easy.

I had warm garlic rice, cubes of cheddar and cucumber before bed 🤣

Noneofourbusiness · 16/01/2024 00:14

@Dartmoorcheffy that sounds good. How do you make garlic rice?

You have just made me remember that we have a omelette maker somewhere 🤣

I opened a pack of uncle Ben's and microwaved it.. its my favourite quick snack. Add the cheese after and it melts into it. Lush. If I'm feeling decadent I add a load of macadamia and walnuts to it as well and a drizzle of truffle oil..

Noneofourbusiness · 16/01/2024 00:27

@Dartmoorcheffy very posh Grin thank you.

Usually crackers and cheese for me. Or tea and a biscuit.

yupyupyup · 16/01/2024 00:30

I usually have smoked salmon and cream cheese appetisers, one truffle chip and a very small wedge of Swiss alps cheese.

Seriously, what do you want people to say here?!?! Eat what ever you want and whatever you have available to you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Noneofourbusiness · 16/01/2024 00:35

Well @yupyupyup who pissed on your cornflakes. Why read a post and reply with a arse comment?

The whole point was, I didn't know what to have so looking for ideas.

Citygirlypop · 16/01/2024 00:35

Crackers and a tube of primula that I keep in my bedside table! Wake up starving about 3 am 🍰

Noneofourbusiness · 16/01/2024 00:36

@FatimaWhippedRed love cheese and crackers.

OP posts:
TwoOfMine · 16/01/2024 00:37

I usually have cornflakes

Cauliflowercheeseandsausages · 16/01/2024 00:37

Sober : celery and hummus
after wine : cheese, Doritos and hot salsa.
I suffer terribly with heartburn these days but I’ll never learn 🤣

yupyupyup · 16/01/2024 00:39

You've lost the plot!

A pack of curry noodles with 2 bits of bread and butter.

Dartmoorcheffy · 16/01/2024 00:40

I hate going to bed hungry. I can't sleep. Supper before bed was always almost a main meal when I was growing up.

Crumpets with butter and melted cheese
Beans or cheese on toast
Homemade chip butty
Pasta shells with cheese sauce
Big bowls of cereal
Sardines on toast
Boiled or poached eggs
Bacon butty

Me and my dad were never breakfast eaters, but loved a nice supper and I'm still the same now at 54. I rarely eat until i have been up for a good 4 or 5 hours.

Lizzieregina · 16/01/2024 00:52

I never have a snack before bed but used to love cornflakes with hot milk when I was a kid!

Noneofourbusiness · 16/01/2024 00:56

@Citygirlypop I wonder what causes that? Sometimes during the night, I have a mini chocolate as I am all woozy.

@TwoOfMine cornflakes are great for a quick snack.

@Cauliflowercheeseandsausages God after wine, I am like a ferral animal eating everything in sight 🤣

@Dartmoorcheffy thanks for the list. That's really kind of you Grin I don't have breakfast either just a coffee. Can never stomach eating in the morning.

@Lizzieregina never been a fan of hot milk unless its in hot chocolate Grin
I always think cornflakes and hot milk sounds nice.
