healthy snack ideas

barbarous

plain old homemade brown bag popcorn is my new favorite thing

ilx plz inspire me with interesting topping suggestions that aren't like, butter/ranch powder/taco seasoning

has anyone put hot sauce on their popcorn? is it any good?

yes
try a light mist of olive oil and spicy paprika for satisfying spicy popcorn that doesn't make your hands gross

ooh that sounds good

nutritional yeast and salt! though it will leave your hands gros and get all over the place.

I had been trying nutritional yeast the last couple of days and getting mad bc it didnt' seem to work?...then realized that I was missing key ingedient of oil for it to stick

cf: "vegemite grrl's home for the absent minded" thread :)

feel compelled to post "beef" as a suggestion on this (and every) thread

great OP

quality first response too

Carrots and peanut butter and apples are my fave snacks at the moment. Last night I used a juicer for the first time and made a concoction with carrot and kale juice and it was SO GOOD.

vegemite i put this stuff on everything including popcorn

ever since you said about the rice cakes with cottage cheese I've been looking for dulse flakes! there's a health food store by my office, I may have to hit them up

...

or just get them off amazon like in the link haha, duh me

Munching on some broccoli florets with the best hummus which is unfortunately called "eat well enjoy life".

whoa

It's really good though. I recommend.

second only to "food should taste good" or whatever that shit they sell at whole foods is called
i always wonder why shopping there makes me feel gross and that kind of brand name is part of it.

BUT i bet it tastes good!

not hating on the taste, just the name
like any foundation that has the word "flawless" in it

Hah yeah it does. I am a fan of FSTG chips but the name is annoying, yes. Wait, didn't you have a thread about those?!

we got some raw hummus last weekend bc mr veg wanted to try it
he was v displeased

i'm not a huge hummus person, except for TJ's mediterranean hummus which I love. a lot of them have too much lemon juice, i think, they aren't smooth tasting.

oh god i love hummus so much

i'm into balsamic vinegar on my popcorn these days

I'm very picky about hummus, if it doesn't have enough tahini and garlic I can't eat it.

whoa

balsamic popcorn sounds goood

it's like salt-and-vinegar popcorn

oh god

yeah I need to try that

btw I brought my oil misto to work so I can make nutritional yeast stick to my popcorn: kind of excited tbh

I think I took over another thread bitching about it, that I know :-/

I ate Chinese crunchy radish yesterday. Amazing! Like roast dinner with Chinese five spice. 37p a bag.

When I make hummus it's raw (I use canned beans, heathen that I am), what's the distinction?

canned beans forever

Yeah! I rarely know the day before if I want a bean dish.

canned beans are best for hummus imo unless you are some kind of full time hummus manufacturer

Canned beans are cooked

I accidentally made raw hummus once - I somehow thought I only had to soak the chickpeas, not cook them.

It tasted horrendous.

yeah there is a world of difference between canned/cooked chickpeas vs raw chickpeas. they're reaaaaaally bland. and they have a diff texture too. it wasn't good. though admittedly the raw hummus we got had no other flavors even attempting to try to make it taste good

for the money they charge for it, you think they'd at least taste it before shilling it to the rest of us

Hahhh, I am schooled. I guess I've never seen a raw chickpea! I've lived a very whitebread life, what can I say?

I went up to north GA last weekend and bought half a peck of Granny Smith apples and HOLY GOD are they delicious. Fruit is nature's candy!

very good popcorn topping: old bay seasoning

interesting!

VG which one of us is Aladdin?

me, because I want the pet monkey

if that's okay with u

It's not ok with me - I want the pet monkey. :(

Actually, never mind. I already pretty much have a pet monkey. You can have that one, it's OK.

you can have the pet monkey, I'll just have those cool pants

I'm just in this for that midriff! Perfect.

your hair has grown so much!
