healthy snack ideas

all this talk of things that are like ice cream is crazy. ice cream is like ice cream. frozen grapes and bananas are like frozen grapes and bananas. they're not even as good as nice, fresh, unfrozen grapes and bananas.

x-post NO. NO CELERY EVER OR FOR ANY REASON. GROSS.

the pureed banana is actually a lot like soft serve, i too was skeptical, its p surprising

x-post - Dude, you're wrong. If someone gave me the forzen banana stuff and told me it was soft serve I would believe them. It's that similar/good.

ha x-post but ice craem otm. It's really uncanny. If you add stuff to it it's even more amazing.

Or if you want a dip for crudités, use a 2% or non-fat Greek yogurt infused with herbs or spices you like.

Nori is awesome

Yes to greek yogurt + spices.

cucumber/baba

yeah sorry but contenderizer you are wrong about the bananas. i hated bananas before i discovered this method.

once on Teletubbies these english kids put grapes on their ice cream sundae - what the hell? what do they teach these kids?

sliced tomatoes on ezekiel bread with lots of pepper, maybe some pesto or basil, smoked salt

we should all chip in and buy condendo a yonanas

f contenderizer he doesn't even believe! Get me one.

I forgot what this thraed was abotu and was wondring why people were talking about healthy snacks

oh erica i thought yr 'blender' did a perfectly good job

It does but it's a pain in the ass because it has no top and I need to hold things on top of it and this other thing sounds p slick.

haha

its a pain in the ass when you fall into the food processor/toilet becuase some one left the seat up

we should all chip in and buy condendo a yonanas

gonna freeze and puree bananas today, tbh.

am still skeptical tho. i think i am just a lot more ice cream sensitive than you all.

frankly i'm shocked that contenderizer would choose to pedantically point out that pureed frozen fruit could never taste exactly like ice cream

there's a vegan ice cream place that does a really good facsimile of ice cream... unless the secret ingredient is ice cream.

and you will pay each of us $10 when you are proven wrong, contenderizer

pureed banana IS as good as icecream, u will see

coconut milk ice cream is vegan and v good

is it coconut milk that's the secret? (goes off to patent yoconanas)

ya prob

Vegan ice cream is pretty simple, because the creamy mouthfeel is just whipped & emulsified saturated fat. Coconut oil is about as saturated as dairy fat (and probably similarly unhealthy) and works just fine.

there are a few diff brands making coconut-milk based ice-cream-like frozen desserts now

despite having no dairy or soy they are just/almost as sugary and fatty as real ice cream so not really "healthy"

xpost

i'm not all that sold on bananas being super-healthy either. like if you ate nothing but bananas i bet you'd get yonabetes.

most things you shouldnt eat nothing but

some friend of mine had a theory as to why the coconut fat was better than the dairy fat but w/e the sugar is the worst part even if its agave or whathaveyou

where is cutty when you need him

i heard carrots were like all sugar, too!

the sugar thats in fruits and vegetables is fine, stay away from refined sugar, is how its broken down to an extent

you need fiber w/ that sugar basically

its like sure chew on some coca leaves nbd, only smoke crack occasionally

lagoon: man of crude tastes

everything in moderation

im a simple man, on the weekend sure eat a chipwich maybe do a lol blow w/the fellas

Coconut milk is one of the most fatty, caloric things on the planet. I don't know about coconut-based ice cream, but when I cook with coconut milk I always use the low-fat version and it still adds mucho calories to a meal. It's delicious though.

coconut milk is of the gods. is super rich & fatty though. a friend of mine who was crazy about it once wanted to eat just the "cream", the solids that separate out if the can sits for a while. was delicious, but we both felt kind of sick after just a bite.

Every time I eat something with coconut milk in it, I'm full for minimum 6 hours

My favourite snack these days is avocado with soy sauce on it

Tho tbh I don't really believe in snacks

what abt only snacks

It's a belief that sometimes causes me problems... blood-sugar-related anger problems... so I try to remember to put some almonds in my purse or something.
xp

lunch is usually what some might consider a snack. Like half an avocado and some cheese/meat. It's a meal! Calorically/nutritionally.

Lunch is truly the most boring and utilitarian of meals imo so might as well make it a snack.

really though, snacks and non-sustainable resource extraction are the downfall of western civilization
