After reading (and getting very hungry) reading the unhealthy treat, I started thinking about getting a list of healthy options to eat.

I absolutely love green veggies steamed served with a knob of butter and chilli flakes or pine nuts (or both).

What’s your go-to?

I do love hummus (and bonus, DS will eat it too).

Cucumber and peanut butter sounds interesting...

Raw sugar snap peas or baby plum tomatoes are my go to for a grab and go snack. I can get through A LOT of sugar snap peas!

Can’t eat either at the minute because of a jaw problem so currently living off Cadbury mini rolls as they are soft and I can mush them without chewing. Not so healthy!

I need to find some healthy, soft foods that require no prep.

ArriettyJones · 27/04/2020 12:04

Almonds.
Mange tout.

Bananas? Don’t try and “live off” them, though - too much potassium Smile

ButtWormHole · 27/04/2020 12:41

I love frozen berries, still frozen

LightACandleHoney · 27/04/2020 12:43

Sadly I’m allergic to bananas and also have a dairy intolerance so yoghurts are out too. Currently living off soup but I’m fed up with it. (Even mini rolls I need to cut up because I can’t open my mouth wide enough to bite through them)

A stick of celery with a drizzle of almond butter

A couple of dates drizzled with almond butter and a twist of salt.

I’m out of almond butter and now I really want both of those.

ArriettyJones · 27/04/2020 12:50

You poor thing @LightACandleHoney . That sounds miserable. I hope you can get some treatment soon.

I love boiled eggs as a snack, also cheese and crackers although I can go a bit overboard with these. Nice to see a bit of suger snap pea love on here, I go through phases of devouring them by the pack load!
