I like celery and carrots with a little pile of lemon-pepper seasoning for dipping. I also like popcorn drizzled with a little canola oil, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt.
I'm bored with those. Any ideas?
-
Frozen grapes.
Peanuts.
cheese and crackers.
-
i dehydrate my own fruit. also do snow cones with fruit juices
-
Roasted, salted, in-the-shell peanuts sound really good. I haven't had those in awhile.

But for me I like 'em hot and fresh. That generally means a trip to the flea market around here...
-
Dry roasted, unsalted almonds, locally $4.99/lb. No cholesterol, negligible sodium, a good source of Magnesium, Vitamin E and Manganese. Low in saturated fat, high in unsaturated and monosaturated fat. Some studies say they're good for lowering cholesterol. (Eat in moderation - even though they contain "good" fats, they're not low-cal as some people think.)
-
Apples. Peanut butter optional. =)
-
canola oil (http://canola oil), healthy? ever pour a tbs or too into a hot skillet? stuff smells like lighter fluid when it gets hot. =(
-
Well sure, it is burning.
Grapeseed oil has a higher smoke-point.
As for healthy, inexpensive snacks, try fresh fruit and nuts. Or make your own trail mix.
-
at the same temps olive oil isn't burning. [tinfoil] tell you what, you can have it. ;)
-
ghee is even higher and tastier

"But for me I like 'em hot and fresh. That generally means a trip to the flea market around here... "
I wonder if heating them in the oven might have the same effect, or dry out and be nasty. I might try it.
-
Just got back from the grocery store. No whole peanuts. Damn. What kind of grocery doesn't have peanuts?
Anyway, I picked up some cashews, smoked almonds (I don't believe I would like them raw/unsalted), a package of teriyaki beef jerky, and a jar of Claussen pickles.
That out to do the trick for a few days. I hope. /grin/
-
Raisins, prunes (sorry, "dried plums"), banana chips.
Granola spritzed, lightly, with karo or cane syrup.
Whole wheat cracker tossed lightly in oil and seasons then toasted.
Frosted wheat thins.
Pork rinds (yes, those. Being mostly air it will amaze you how few calories and other bad things are in a serving)
Be careful of whole nuts. They pack a whollop in the calorie department.

"Raisins, prunes (sorry, "dried plums"), banana chips.

I'm not big on sweet stuff. Although, I do like prunes and dried apple rings. Might have to hit the other grocery for peanuts and a package of mixed, dried fruit.
-

Yup. My wife keeps a jar around all the time. Cheaper and way easier to buy than make.
For a unique snack - watch amounts for calories
Small food processor
Cashew pieces
peanut, canola, or veggie oil
salt (to taste)
Make your own cashew butter in advance - refrigerate (no preservatives)
use with crackers or celery - nice for a change.
Do the same with almonds if you want, I guess.
-
"Whole wheat cracker tossed lightly in oil and seasons then toasted."
Mmmmm. I always have Triscuits around. Sounds really good.

Sardines in mustard sauce on club crackers.
I've been eating a lot of sardines and kipper snacks lately. Been craving them.

oh, they have single serving boxes of rasinets, the pack on the left. i haven't found the dark chocolate yet.

pumpkin seeds

Unsalted roasted sunflower seeds eaten with a banana. No, I don't dunk the banana in a pile of them. I toss half a palmful in my mouth and then take a bite out of the banana.
Toast with honey and cinnamon before bedtime. (Don't confuse your chile powder with the cinnamon. The answer to your next question is "yes." The answer to your followup question is "awful.")*
Sardines with lemon and oysterettes (tiny crackers) and a little lemon, right out of the can. The smell hangs around, though. I usually put the can in an opened, spread-out plastic grocery sack, open it there, and any knapkins or anything else I used, I leave in the sack and fold it up to hold down the smell.
In the office, honey nut and oat bars dunked in coffee. They're a buck apiece out of the vending machine, but you can buy boxes of six of them for cheap in the supermarket.
Dang. I just finished dinner and now I'm hungry again.
Blast you, grislyatom. Blast you!

Moreover, and to boot, would you believe not two months later I sprinkled cinnamon all over a cup of chile? I swear this. No kiddin'.

Bad sign. Do you take vitamins? If not, start.

Careful, nuts have a whole lot of calories in them, if you are watching that. On my low-calorie diet, I'm down to celery, fresh broccoli, and small bags of light microwave popcorn.

Water.

Extra yum!
Apple chips are tasty. There are thin and crispy like potato chips, but slightly sweet and apple flavored. They are not chewy like dried fruit. Look for them in the healthy/organic section of your store. We found ours at Central Market.
-

I've crave sardines once in a while, goes for a week or so and I'm good again for a while. Usually triggered when I have a sandwich with hot dutch mustard on it. I take vitamins daily.

Peanut butter is also good on celery and carrots, though you really shouldn't go overboard.
Apples are always good - I like Braeburns and Granny Smiths best personally, YMMV. That'd be with or without peanut butter. =D
at the same temps olive oil isn't burning. [tinfoil] tell you what, you can have it. ;)
IME, olive smokes well before canola. I used to saute with olive oil, but tended to do so at a smoke-generating temperature. Since switching to canola, at the same settings, I don't fill the house with a fine oily smoke anymore.
Now that I've learned better temperature control on top of that, perhaps I could switch back to olive oil, at least some of the time. Still use it for, say, boiling pasta and whatnot, of course. That never stopped.
-
Heat a pan of oil to approx. 375 f. degrees.
Get a little Kentucky Kernel seasoned flour, and add some dark beer until it is stirrable, not kneadable.
Now, you take a hamster...
-
i cut the font size in half, because this post might not be health enough for the thread.
if you get "extra light olive oil (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-extra-light-olive-oil.htm)" it has a smoke point close to canola oil.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_point
i might have got some bad canola, but it just stunk to high heaven when it got to ~300°.(just can't stand the stuff now) i use mostly peanut oil for frying, and corn oil everything were i don't want flavor from oil.(the peanut oil just seems to holdup better in a fryer for me ???) lard for a few things. :angel: and try to keep extra virgin olive for somethings, safflower is good if you can get it at a decent price. coconut oil is great on popcorn, but it burns if you try to pop in it. well now there's no doubt that i have completely stopped worrying about health.
and i remembered one more snack, well it's 4 or 5, the healthy version is to melt some butter add a splash of milk and a little salt, then add powdered sugar till you have the constancy of rolled fondant. then knead well, and roll it into a sheet around an eighth of an inch(guessing read the rest and use the thickness you think you need to achieve the results. :angel:) spread peanut butter on all but the outer half inch or so(warming helps but to warm and it melts the stuff[i don't know what to call it.]) roll the whole mess into a log, press it flat and cut into half inch or so pieces. it takes an hour or to to set up, kids love the stuff.(and there's no end to the stuff you can substitute for the peanut butter.)
for the other you, melt some butter add a splash of milk and a little salt, then add powdered sugar till you have the constancy of rolled fondant, then add peppermint oil if you have it.(extract is fine, and any flavor you want is fine to.) knead well and roll into a log, this one you don't press flat, cut like "after dinner mints (http://www.ohnuts.com/buy.cfm/bulk-candy/unwrapped-candy/assorted-after-dinner-mints)" and let it set. [popcorn]
oh second thought, those aren't really health unless your involved in making them.
-
Make your own stuffed jalapenos; use whatever you want inside, and you can control how healthy they are.
-
I love frozen bananas but you said less sweet. Sweet potato chips are good, you could probably make your own with a dehydrator. Seen the same thing done with beets and other such veggies, not sure how they taste. I've heard great things about home made biltong, and I ate a lot of pounds of home made jerky in Iraq. Potted meat on saltines is a favorite, but I haven't had any in a long time.
-
Something I just started trying... green smoothies.
For greens, anything that isn't too strong (no mustard greens): spinach, collard greens, beet greens, kale, etc.
I don't have the proportions quite right yet, but my first attempt just now was a few leaves each of kale and collard greens, 1 huge handful of spinach leaves, 2 bananas, 1 apple, some cherries, and some blackberries. It was quite palatable. The texture was a bit questionable... might have been blackberry seeds. Maybe I should have added more water, but too much would mean a disgusting tasteless water-dominated mixture.
Allegedly, jalapenos work well in it, but I wanted to start off simple.
-
Boiled peanuts.
Beware the southern style boiled with smoked ham hocks, you may find yourself acquiring a drawl.
If you start with raw shelled peanuts (all boiled peanuts start raw, not roasted,) consider dressing them with mild white vinegar, soy sauce, and finely sliced scallions or chives.
-
Sunflower seeds (my favorite brand is Giant)
Salted in the shell peanuts
Fresh fruits/veggies with low fat dips like fat free dressing
Granola bars
Fudgecicles (40 cal per serving)
-
Granola is easy to make. Just season some oats with whatever you like, sweet or salty, put them down in clumps and bake them for a bit.
Doesn't keep as long as store bought stuff, but it is tasty!
-
My favorite at home is air popped pop-corn misted with an apple cider vineger/chipolte olive oil emulsion and a good dose of NaCl. [popcorn]
Dried sweet potato chips that have been soaked in a broth of miso and sake prior to dehydration make great side to any lunch.
Snacks at work? Only two really catch my eye/coins.
Granola bars, because few things dispel the mid-afternoon dulldrums better than a little C4 (on the machine selection).
T.G.I. Friday's Bacon & Chedder potato skins. Fix for the fat/NaCl/carbs craving that strikes now and again.
-
Breadsticks and hummus.
-
I love hummus. I wait until cans of garbanzo beans go on sale and then stock up. A drained can of beans, about 1/4 cup of tahini, 3 cloves of garlic, 3 tbsp. olive oil, 3 tbsp. lemon juice and a few grinds of sea salt all whirled up in the food processor, and I am good to go. I will on occasion add sun-dried tomato pesto, kalamata olive tapenade, roasted red peppers or the like to the base recipe.
It is a high-protein, low-fat and high-fiber dip. I use some multi-grain crackers or pita bread to dip it, and I am a happy camper.
-
I've been making a lot of hummus lately. Made some good stuff with sun-dried tomatoe and basil last week. Yum.
My new most favorite healthy food is parfait. Layer low fat yogurt, a tiny bit of honey, granola and fresh fruit. Chill or lightly freeze. Best food ever.
-
Interesting, when this thread is right next to the one about weed smokers. =)
-
My wife found a recipe for kale chips. I had no idea you could make kale crunchy. They were quite tasty, too.

I love hummus too. I should figure out how to make it.

Freezing yogurt will kill almost all of the bacteria cultures, which negates perhaps the most significant health benefit of eating yogurt.
-
See my post # 38 for a classic recipe for hummus.

Fresh raw chilled summer squash cut like french fries. I'm recently partial to patty pans http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattypan_squash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattypan_squash)
Cherry tomatoes
Bell peppers or sweet banana peppers cut in strips
Come on over and we'll go pick you some =D

Kiddo's eldest half-sister has become a vegan. Or whatever the proper term is nowadays...
Kiddo talked me into a tub of hummus and some pita chips lately. Now, I HATE garbanzos/chick peas. Always will. Ex-wife's Dad called them "garbage beans". I agreed with that assessment.
Hummus is pretty darned good, though, IMO. Can't quite figure it out.
-
BTB... thanks for the suggestions.
-
Kiddo's eldest half-sister has become a vegan. Or whatever the proper term is nowadays...
vegan: No meat (yes, seafood is meat), no dairy, no eggs. Strictest category. In its strictest interpretation, anything that's detrimental in any way to animals is off limits. "No leather" types will almost always be vegan. This can go as far as refusing to eat bleached sugar because it's often filtered using bone char. Another item sometimes avoided is gelatin, because it's made from animal collagen (if you see "vegan" labeling on some sort of dietary supplement capsules, it means the capsule material is something else). Sometimes "vegan" also means no honey, on the rationale that bees need it to survive, and they're critical for the plant portion of the food chain (and bees haven't been doing too well in recent years).
vegetarian: typically shorthand for lacto-ovo-vegetarian, which means everything except meat. However, if in doubt, assume it means vegan. Technically, dairy and egg eating vegetarians are called "lacto-ovo-vegetarians". Obviously, lacto-vegetarianism would be milk and cheese but no eggs or meat, and ovo-vegetarianism would be eggs but no milk, cheese or meat. Some pescetarians (see below) call themselves vegetarian, which IMO is retarded.
pescetarian: no meat except for fish (not sure about other non-fish seafood, I guess they eat that stuff too)... may or may not eat eggs and dairy.
There are lots of people who don't take those labels seriously and will call themselves vegetarian when all they mean is that they won't eat red meat, or as mentioned, pescetarians calling themselves vegetarian. That creates a lot of confusion for food preparers at restaurants, and for people trying to plan private group meals... which leads to things like a vegetarian asking if a dish is vegetarian and getting a "yes" back, then discovering halfway through the meal that it has fish sauce, etc.
-
"Specialization is for insects."
Heinlein had it right.
-
pescetarian: no meat except for fish (not sure about other non-fish seafood, I guess they eat that stuff too)... may or may not eat eggs and dairy.
Vegetables are not food; vegetables are what food eats. Fish are just really fast vegetables.
Some of my favorite foods are vegetarians.
-
I'd bet hummus would be good with peanut butter in it! =D
-
Only if the PB is ground at the last moment from FRESH peanuts!
FWIW run a search on ground nut soup.
Nota bene.: Your blender can make you great peanut butter if fed freshly roasted peanuts (and nothing else.)
-
only if you have high oil peanuts, the normal eating peanuts take at least a few teaspoons of oil per cup of peanuts.

oh and it's easier to clean out of a food processor. especially if you have a blender with the built in blade. :facepalm:
-

Uh, if a bit of ice, a half cup of water, a couple drops of Dawn, and the "military-grade data destruction" setting won't clean your blender, you need more horsepower.
-
lol, was just sayin', it's something to think about. have you ever done the quick clean thing, and had it throw (nasty) water all over the kitchen? and yes the lid was on tight and i was holding it down. leaked between the lid and cup thing, so it was a nice high pressure stream.
-
This is a good snack, or for a quick lunch, spread it on saltines.

Seriously, walnuts are a good healthy snack. They are high in calories, but a small handful will stick with you for a long time. And they have omega 6 (or is it 3?) fatty acids, and natural antiinflammatories that will get you peeing like a 30 year old again if you are 50+ and starting to have prostate trouble.

It has both, but like most non-animal sources, it has more omega-6 than omega-3.

Also seriously, I recently discovered apple chips to satisfy the crunchy-munchies. With or without cinnamon.
http://www.senecafoods.com/ourbrands/snackchips_applechips.shtml
I started out where I work at 182 lb, already overweight, and I hit 205 recently.
At home, weekends and holidays, I can go until 1 or 2 PM without getting hungry.
At work, damned if by 8:30, 9:00 AM, I'm ravenous.
These apple chips seem to do the trick, and I got below 200 lb last week. Nice and crunchy, like potato chips, but they stop me from going out and getting a five-thousand Calorie sausage-and-egg-on-a-muffin every morning. I may go buy a case of them from my local bodega.
I sometimes wonder if the crunchy-crushy noise in your jaws and ears isn't hunger-killing all by itself.
Maybe I can develop a battery-operated "Crunch-Noise-Making" device that you clamp your teeth onto and it reproduces that oh-so-satisfying crunchy-chewy noise and transmits it throughout your head-bones..
Eh? You heard it here first! (https://armedpolitesociety.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.armedpolitesociety.com%2FSmileys%2Fdefault%2Fmf_popcorn.gif&hash=14247223dae6dcb16bb2f71928ea83321ed97133) (https://armedpolitesociety.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.armedpolitesociety.com%2FSmileys%2Fdefault%2Fgrin.gif&hash=65ebbfcb42e5810a8a8054217942baa16bd0d490)
Of course, I'd have to put a warning label on it saying, "Caution! You may starve to death using this device."

Do you eat anything for breakfast other than apple chips and maybe coffee? Forgive me if I'm less than convinced that those apple chips constitute a healthy snack, given that they're about 1/4 added oil by weight (http://www.dietfacts.com/html/nutrition-facts/seneca-apple-chips-cris49766.htm)... not to mention all the antioxidants and who-knows-what other helpful but unstable organic compounds that get obliterated by cooking. Real apples, or trail mix with dried fruit, would be better than those cooked apple chips. Some stuff is impractical for most people to eat raw -- asparagus, broccoli -- but not apples... why cook them only to eat them as a snack?
Related to green smoothies, a couple weeks ago I learned not to add watercress. I don't think I'd ever tasted it in quantity before. I had no idea. :O I suffered through two pints before I had to blend in more sugar in fruit form.
-
Watercress smoothie was a bit peppery? Another thing you don't want to add to a fruit smoothie, especially if it has any milk or cream in it, is frozen rhubarb. DD bought a bag of that stuff; I told her not to try it, but she didn't listen...
(the oxalic acid, besides being very sour, has such an affinity for calcium that it actually splits the calcium out of the milk and makes lactic acid and gritty crystals of calcium oxalate.)

Tyme observed, correctly:

Ahhh, but compare that to the 5000 Calorie sausage-and-egg-on-a-muffin that it replaces.
On which I must slather a package of mayonnaise.
By me, that qualifies as a "healthy" snack.
(I exaggerate the Calories for the sake of making a point.)
For breakfast at home, I frequently dip dry toast into my coffee. And subsist on that until later in the day.
I could swear there are certain things that somehow "trigger" some kind of a weight-gaining mechanism in one's body far beyond their mere Caloric or fat content. For me, butter is anathema. Sometimes I think even the smell of butter can do it. On the other hand, I could also swear there are some things that likewise trigger a weight-loss mechanism. For me, apples and peaches do this. No science, just "high suspicion" based on 7 decades of doing this "eating" thing --an accumulation of anecdotal "evidence," if you will.

That sounds like drinking a kidney stone smoothie.
-
If I recall correctly, pure oxalic acid is a mechanical poison. Apparently, the needle-like crystals embed themselves into the throat passages, making them swell and choking off the air supply. FWIW.
-
Anyone know a good trail mix recipe that doesn't use nuts? I'm not a huge fan of the texture of nuts, and I'm slightly allergic to hazelnuts and possibly some other types (don't know for sure; since I don't really like nuts anyway I just avoid eating nuts I don't know how I'll react to).
One thing I've been thinking of doing is maybe making some "trail balls," using raisins, oats and peanut butter to form a ball and then maybe dipping it in chocolate. Probably not low calorie, but it'd be good for hiking or hunting. Not sure if it'd work, though; just something I came up with while brainstorming, and I haven't tried it yet.

Bob's Granola Bars
1/4 cup margarine (canola or peanut oil might work)
1/2 pound marshmallows (about 30 large)
3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup whole almond kernels
3/4 cup grated coconut [estimated amount]
generous 1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries, a.k.a. "craisins"
generous 1/2 cup diced dried turkish apricots
scant 1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup roasted and salted sunflower kernals
2 cups puffed rice breakfast cereal (like Rice Krispies®)
Toast oats and almonds in a 375 degree oven. It works best if they are in seperate bakind dishes, otherwise the oats tend to insulate and protect the almonds from the heat. Meanwhile, in a huge heatproof bowl, melt margarine and marshmallows in the microwave. Stir with a big spoon to combine. Stir in the coconut, dried fruit, sunflower seeds, and wheat germ. Next add the hot oats and almonds. Lastly, stir in the rice cereal. It will be very sticky and hard to mix. Spray a 9x13 glass baking pan with your favorite non-stick spray. Transfer the sticky glop into the pan and press it down as tightly as you can -- covering it with waxed paper while you press it helps. Allow to sit for a half hour or so, and cut into squares when they are no longer sticky.

I found bananas and sunflower seeds are truly yumful. Perfect complement of tastes and texture. Not exactly lo-Cal. I got the idea to frappe them together in a blender, with a cup of evaporated milk and freeze the blend.
Like a unique ice cream. Only problem is the top layer turns brown on exposure to air, but that does not affect the flavor.
(I was a WWII baby (rationing), and was practically raised on evaporated milk, so I love the stuff.)
-
How 'bout sweetened condensed milk? :angel:
-
^ I dunno. Try it. For some reason I dislike condensed milk, but evaporated me like. I don't know what the technical difference is, but one I like and the other, not so much.

I was inspired this morning after breakfast. After a delicious meal of cottage-cheese pancakes and bacon, I made a batch of hummus using my standard recipe mentioned earlier in this thread. Operating under the philosophy that everything is better with bacon, I added four strips worth of crisp crumbled bacon to my hummus recipe. I will definitely remember this recipe.
We are caring for our 'grand-dog' this weekend while the kids are on vacation, and the dog also approves of bacon hummus.
