I have a few snack ideas for when I feel hungry, especially in the evening. Usually it is a desire for a certain taste or texture. I always keep packs of thin wholegrain rye crispbreads with sesame seeds in the house. I get mine from Lidl. They are very light and crunchy. Sometimes I spread a thin sardine paste on them, at other times very thinly sliced cheese with very thinly sliced pickled onion. You can have three or four of these without overdoing the calories and wholegrain rye won't bother most diabetics.
If I am fancying fruit, I will take a humble apple, or pear, or both and I have a favourite penknife and wooden board. I'll sit there slcing it and cutting out the core and, by 'making a meal' of it, it somehow is more satisfying than holding it in one hand and chomping on it.
Ice cold fizzy water fills, with a slice of lemon. Better still, zero cal supermarket lemonade but with the juice of a freshly squeezed lemon in it. Fills you and sets your taste buds dancing.
A single slice of pumpernickel is filling, with a coulpe of slices of pepper salami or a single slice of dutch cheese. Have a pickled gerkhin with it or pickled chillis.
Or a tomato salad. Thinly sliced tomato mixed with thing sliced red oinion and then drizzled with a bit of oil and a bit of balsamic vinegar. Or thinly sliced cucumber with a little bit of oil, wine vinegar and dill:
You will get the munchies in the future so it is best to be prepared and have stuff in. The act of preparing food dampens the hunger pangs and taking time over preparation and eating helps a lot too.
Tuns out to be way too expensive a snack 😱
