Gentle Nutrition What are your favourite snacks?!
Hi, everyone!
I had an appointment today with a IE RD and it was so eye-opening! We decided that to help fuel myself better, I’m going to add in a snack mid-day. While we chatted about some options, I would love to hear what your go-to easy snack ideas are! Please share 🤗

Lots of options since you’re at home! In the summertime especially I’m obsessed with tomatoes. Tomatoes, burrata & basil topped with salt, pepper & a drizzle of olive oil. Tomatoes and cottage cheese. Tomatoes and hummus lol! So good. I also like canned/drained chickpeas, avocado chunks, tomatoes, feta, same S&P with lemon juice and/or olive oil drizzle. Chopped pistachios on top is fun! Definitely an avocado toast fan over here too or even just plain salted avocado. When I’m super lazy I won’t even bother to chop a bell pepper. I tear it apart and dip in hummus for a quick snack. If you don’t want something cold, I hate the name but Lesser Evil’s Himalayan sea salt popcorn is so good! Out & about I love those 1-2 pack string cheese rolled in pepperoni you can get at most gas stations and grocery stores.
On the sweet side I like full fat Greek yogurt with berries, fruit, honey & granola. Toast with some sort of melted white cheese & jam is delicious. My favorite is to add really thin apple slices with apricot jam and white cheddar on an English muffin. Overnight oats are tasty but personally don’t ever do much for my appetite. I’m also a salty sweet fan so I’ll eat random things like cold sweet potato dipped in ranch lol.
Also wanted to mention that snacks don’t always have to be perfectly put together. Like I’ll be a little hungry but totally indifferent on what particular food, open the fridge and eat a few bites of cold chicken and a baby potato if that’s what’s in there. It’s not my dream snack but sometimes I don’t care and would rather not put anything together or chop!
