What do you like to snack on?
Could be while you play videogames, while you're driving, working, whenever.

Have not had that brand. I’ll look out for it.

Yeah they're fairly new. They had Cookies and Cream Twix for a while and they were amazing, but apparently they were just a limited time thing, because they suddenly disappeared from stores and the cookie dough variety took their place. I preferred cookies and cream, but cookie dough is almost as good.

I haven't had the regular plantains. It's the sweet plantains that reminds me of banana chips. Not as super crunchy, but had that mild sweetness. Not the same as banana but, well, it's not banana.

The inside part is cookie dough flavored.

I don't know if this is considered a snack, but I tried natto the other day.
It's fermented soy beans. Supposedly very popular in Japan and eaten daily by many people. Here's the kanji of it, cause why not: 納豆
Somehow, the strain of bacteria that's used to ferment soybeans results in stringiness on the surface of the soybeans. And if you stir it, the stringiness increases! Yeah, seriously.
It smells pretty strong and tastes kind of nuttyish. First I tasted it plain and then added salt and pepper.
Anyone else tried natto? What about other funky foods?

Curious to hear from others on healthy/protein snacks.
Jesus christ! $3/Oz for jerky? My price point is $1/Oz, looking at you Old Trapper, Jack Link's. I make jerky for about $.50/Oz. Making it on a pellet smoker without liquid smoke is heaven.

I've been really into overnight oats for breakfast the past few months.
In a small Tupperware, mix plain Oats with chia seeds and stir up. Pour in enough skim milk to get a layer over the oats. Put cut up strawberries and blueberries on top. Put plain vanilla yogurt on top (I use Triple Zero). Put in the fridge overnight and mix. I sometimes sprinkle in some ground cinnamon as well.
They taste really good and should be pretty good nutritionally as well. I am still learning about what foods should be purchased organic and which can just be normal. I get organic strawberries, blueberries, and Chia seeds. However I know for some foods organic is a scam, such as for bananas and avocados.

Lol thank you! Very kind of you to offer though I’m fairly certain I can find some around here!

What's the texture of the overnight oats like? It probably doesn't get thick like regular oatmeal does, right?

It does get fairly thick overnight. Oatmeal is tasty. Oats and strawberries does actually sound pretty good.
I also like Greek yogurt and fruit. Made lemon tofu pudding stuff the other day (1/2 cup agave nectar, 1 block tofu, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 2 tbsp lemon zest, purée in blender). It was pretty good.
Pickles, tomatoes, olives, and cottage cheese are also some of my favorites. I was kind of a weird kid.

@sailorneorune that lemon tofu pudding sounds interesting. I want to make it. Is it your own recipe? When you say 1 tofu block, do you mean one package? (The tofu I see in stores here is 1 large rectangular block)

We actually borrowed it from the Martha Stewart website and tweaked it a bit because agave nectar is a little less of a pain in the butt to work with than honey in dessert recipes. And yep, one package of tofu.
Corrected recipe:
1 package tofu (drained)
1/2 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest
Purée in blender until desired consistency.
Put in bowl(s).
Apply your choice of blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries after it’s done.
