Nuts such as macadamias, almonds, walnuts, brazils - and you don‘t need too many of them to fill that gap!
Cheese cut up some cheese such as cheddar, always great to have in the fridge, but you may prefer Double Gloucester as a change. There are endless and very tasty varieties out there!
Olives are a good stand by too.
Celery sticks are such a great crunch.
Pepper sticks my favourites are the red ones.
Cucumber so refreshing, the grandchildren often enjoy a few slices as a snack.
Of course if you'd like to make a tasty snack more presentable and adventurous, how about one of these suggestions!

ReplyDelete...the Carrot Patch Hummus is clever!
ReplyDeleteI do eat a LOT of nuts. :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmm..have never had carrot hummus! I am all low carb for the last 6 months. Loving it...so easy.
ReplyDeleteGood suggestions.
ReplyDeleteLovely healthy snacks! It is Superbowl night in North America and you should see the wings and carbs here tonight. My hubby just had a healthy dinner on his zoom party with his friends.

I love all of these snacks, though I must admit I was well into my 50's before I could eat olives. It seems mad that I could detest something for 50+ years and then suddenly really like them! Take care and have a great week, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteI love the avocado hummus. I make it often. We snack on cheese cubs with celery of peppers. Soooo good. Thanks for all the great tips.
ReplyDeleteAll of these snacks looks delicious - I'd try the Avocado Hummus first, I think.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a cheese eater, but I do like humus. The carrot humus pots are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI finally tried some hummus that I actually liked. I think I just needed the right brand.
ReplyDeleteGood snacks but I still prefer my ice cream. :)
ReplyDeleteOur poor grandies are sitting working at the computer all day. They have nuts. It's been quite a challenge.
ReplyDeleteA lot of good ideas. I love all of them except, olives.
ReplyDeleteThat carrot patch hummus pots are adorable and look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteCucumbers are so refreshing. I don't know why I don't have vegies ready for snacking more often cause I really like them.
ReplyDeleteThose are all wonderful snacks. Sometimes I'll even eat a whole cucumber for lunch -- with red pepper sticks on the side!
ReplyDeleteI love snacks! Lots of great suggestions here. :)

What lovely snacks. I particularly like the look of the carrot patch hummus, how cute is that.xxx
ReplyDeleteKalamata olives from Aldi. Dangerously moreish so buy a packet of cashews to make the olives go further.
ReplyDeleteThe veggie tray looks tasty, and that carrot treat is inviting. Great ideas!
ReplyDeletethis is how we eat our vegetables every day. i love them raw, we don't love most vegetables cooked!! i love the carrot patch, how cute is that!!
ReplyDeleteI do love eating raw veg. We don't eat enough raw veg though. I've got some cauliflower in the fridge and you've just reminded me that I LIKE it raw!!! I bought some Tahini from the Zerowaste shop 2 weeks ago and I have chick peas so I might have to make some hummus and then I can dip cauliflower and carrots!
