^I do this a lot as well. Works so well being in humid QLD.Frozen grapes are awesome... I put a dark purple bunch in the freezer the day before and voila....it's like a super healthy popsicle treat.
^Wasabi peas ftmfw...wasabi peas![]()
^LOVE this. :Di like celery sticks with peanut butter spread down the middle, yum!
^Mm, I adore all dried fruits too. I especially love dried banana. Different to banana chips that are generally done in oil, dried banana is chewy and healthy and absolutely delis!dried fruit, esp Turkish smyrna figs, cherries and cranberries
edamame
For the past few weeks I've been eating goji berries like there's no tomorrow. They're so yummy that I really can't stop eating them. An added benefit to eating them is that they're full of beta-carotene, all 8 essential amino acids, and trace minerals.
Some other snacky foods that I like eating are dried mangoes, and pumpkin seeds.![]()
YUM! I've found two places that have this on there menu but haven't found soya beans raw in the pod yet in any supermarkets. Asian groceries I guess.... if anyone in Brisbane has a source hook me up!
^I don't think I've ever tried them, but they're mentioned everywhere I look! I must try them one day soon.![]()
It looks like fresh edamame is a rare beast indeed in Brisbane!
However, I found frozen edamame at 'Green on Gladstone', which is a little Asian grocer on Gladstone Rd, Highgate Hill (corner of Blakeney St). As well as edamame, they also have umeboshi, which was a double score; and they have quite an extensive range of instant rice noodles, which makes me very happy.
So there you go! I was talking to the lady in the shop, they get edamame in regularly because it's hard to find in Brisbane and people want it - so it's apparently quite a reliable supply.
I really love trail mix. Raw fruits and veggies are also a pretty easy healthy way to go. I also make a really good whole wheat banana bread that has no butter and no sugar in it. If you are interested I can send you the recipe.
Wasabi Peas! Entire bag = no taste left for anything else though hehe.
