Healthy munchies

[Montavale218]

So for the past couple of months I've been trying to drop a few pounds. It was impossible at first because of the munchies haha. Also I posted this here because I didn't think it fit the 420 kitchen forum.

Anyway about 3 months ago I decided to start stalking my fridge with healty munchies and I found when I eat healthy munchies when high I feel a lot better (body wise and high wise)

3 months in I've lost about 20 pounds.

I've been eating grapes, oranges, apples etc.. for munchies but I've found a few that some of you might like that I wanted to share

1: nutty banana

Take a handfuld of nuts ( whatever kind you like, I usually use almonds and walnuts) and crush them up thin

Then take some yogurt and a banana. Spread the yogurt on the banana then roll it in the crushed up nuts till there evenly spread.

Put a stick in the top of the banana and freeze it for an house. After you smoke go to your fridge and enjoy.


I also like making a plate of cut up fruit (apples, oranges, grapes, etc..) and putting it in the fridge in the morning so i forget about it, then when I'm high and go to my fridge I am pumped to find it.

bad idea to smoke then write this...Im starving!


What are some healthy recipes of your own? for munchies or a meal

Granny smith apples are my favorite munchies ever. Especially with salt.

If you are a ice cream fiend but dont want to indulge on all those calories try putting some grapes in the freezer. When they are done they are a little piece of heaven and almost have a consistancy like frozen yogurt and they last a little longer then just popping thawed grapes in your mouth. Yum.

i feel ya on the fruit platter dude.. I do the same, also with veggies. Cut up some carrots, mushrooms, celery, add some crackers and maybe a bit of ranch to dip it in, and you have yourself a winner!

I also find myself cutting up a brick of cheddar and eating that with crackers, and mixing it with the veg platter. Good stuff.

i knew i shouldn't have read this thread while stoned, now i'm off to raid the fridge... anyway congrats montavale for the weight loss

I am printing this thread and using it as a shopping list.... I can't wait to make the nutty banana (so high spelling banana is fun)... and I'm gonna sell it to the wife with the vegie tray.... which I will eat too....

In reply to OP - dude that banana sounds delicious!

I love healthy munchies, I go for fruit (granny smith apples are gold) or nuts.


One of my favourites is home-made garlic bread. I use fresh bread rolls from the local bakery, store bought crushed garlic, whipped-spreadable butter. I cut the roll in half, chuck it face down on the sandwich press till it's lightly toasted then spread your butter and garlic. Bloody beautiful mate!


@Cherryeyes - yes yes

@KillaOJ - definitely gotta try the frozen grapes!

Cheese and crackers are GOLD, especially soft cheeses.


edit-
Great thread by the way

the nutty bananna idea is awesome!

I think just to snack on sun chips are good also can't go wrong with chips and salsa

 

[Steve McStoferson]

oooh yeah, chips and salsa is always a winner!

recently I've been picking up this olive bruschetta type spread and eating it on small crackers, preferably the melba thins.. It's so good.

man nothings better then granny smith apples haha

 

[ItsChrome]

cottage cheese* and fruit(fresh or canned**) = OMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMN...... healthy nom nom's FTW!!

*low fat, not non-fat. non-fat cheese of any kind is just wrong

**light or no sugar added.

I usually do sushi. Something along the lines of a California roll - pretty easy to make at home, just gotta be willing to put in the time and effort. I went to culinary school, so it's not that hard. My rolls usually consist of short grain rice, nori, cucumber, avacado, and either tuna or crab. Sometimes with a little bit of spicy mayo and low-sodium soy sauce. Toasted sesame seeds add a little bit to the flavor profile.

Not as healthy as just fruit, or fruit with yogurt/cottage cheese, but it's still rather healthy.

 

[Montavale218]

All of these ideas sound so good!

I've been doing apples and peanut butter lately. also celery with pb and raisins (ants on a log)

Hemp seeds make great munchies.
They are also very good for you.

Maybe not as healthy, but pretty healthy, yummy & quick.
1. Take a soft corn tortilla, put in a pan & turn on stove.
2. Spoon in a tablespoon or two black beans (I
Iike to get prepared beans from Chipotle, but canned black beans will do fine. When I use canned beans I top em with Sriracha hot chili sauce).
3. Covered with shredded cheese. I like cheddar.
4. When the cheese melts fold remove from pan.
5. Fold it over, the soft tortilla will set as a firmer shell.

The protein keeps you full longer.
Two or three of these will fill you for hours!
