Prompt: 4 snacks to know more about you
I am not sure if this prompt is even relevant to me, as I don't eat snacks often. But that's more reason to write about it. I am particular about my snacks, and here goes my snack story :-)
I am particular about a few things when it comes to snacks.
- No fried foods
- No tea on an empty stomach
- Just fruits alone are not a snack.
Chana chat:
A high-protein snack. Easy for busy moms. I soak it in the morning whenever I remember, then put it in the Instant Pot for 15 mins in the evening in pressure cook mode. I add a little tempering with red chillies, salt, turmeric, chilli powder, jeera, mustard seeds, and curry leaves, and sprinkle lemon juice.
I am particular about not eating this in large quantities, as it feels heavy and might not make me feel hungry for an early dinner. So, portions matter.

Protein Bar:
I am not promoting this product, but I like Rx protein bars. Very good option after an intense exercise. Easy to carry and my go-to snack while travelling.
Lemon bread and chips (my cheat days):
Unhealthy snack option for cheat days or craving days, whatever you call it. A nice lemon-flavoured slice of bread and jalapeño chips :-) It's a quick snack with no preparation. Lemon bread and chips from the HEB grocery store last for a few days.

Cookies and Tea:
Another partially unhealthy option. I always have basic pistachio Good Day brand cookies at home for a quick snack along with ginger tea. I make tea especially with less milk, more water, sugar, a little ginger, and cardamom. That makes digestion easier for early dinners.

I add 2 types of fruit in the evenings, but fruit alone doesn't feel like enough as a snack. This month, we are trying kiwis and Pears. Bananas on an empty stomach don't work well for me, so that's out.
