What is your favorite HEALTHY munchie food?

^^I eat plain yogurt with fruit (fresh off the tree!) most mornings in non smoothie form DELISH
 
^ I love trail mix. Earlier today I was eating "tropical trail mix" with dried pineapples, dried apricots, dried papaya, cashews, mac nuts, raisins and dried cranberries. Its not all tropical but tastes delish and gave me a great energy boost.

I kinda think fruit and dried fruit has a little too much sugar in it to be really that healthy, but whatever.

I've never tried dried goji berries or shelled hempseed so idk if it would taste good
 
I was gonna keep it simple, 3 or 4 things, but that sounds good :D
Dried goji berries, the ones I have anyway, dont have much sugar they aren't sweet at all.

I'm not as interested in taste as I am healthyness/nutrition. Of course I want it to be tasty, but I was trying to combine 3 or 4 of the most nutritious things(most nutritious nut, fruit, seed, ect.) to eat in 1 snack =D I enjoy eating them all individually so I thought it would be good.
 
protein shakes man I can down like 75g of protein with a few of those if the munchies hit hard. Throw a little chicken breast afterwards and you have a great munchy snack!
 
i LOVE thinly sliced leftover cold chicken breast, either marinated or spiced. i also LOVE celery dipped in either peanut butter or 1% cottage cheese. NOM.

I find a gym and racquetball habit, combined with a marijuana habit, gives me an appetite that doesn't quit. I just finished half a pound of pasta.
 
Any good cereal; Smart Start Total GRANOLA--with some milk MMmmmm!!! I could eat cereal all the time!
 
^^I beg to differ!! Well, i haven't tried any of your mango actually so I guess I wouldn't know but Maui definately has the BEST mango I have ever tried! EVER
 
^^Hehe lets call a truce and say we both have the best dried mangoes in the world ;) Hmmmm....just had some last night. Divine.

Right now Im eating dried plums and japanese lemon ginger.... I'm in heaven!
 
dried mangos be damned -- gimmie the fresh ones! If I end up living somewhere tropical, I'm growing a mango tree on my property.

delta_9, I was introduced to goji when I was living in Taiwan, where they put them in Eight Treasure Tea, and stew whole chickens in them. Never thought they'd be a health craze a few years later in the US :) I always found them foul -- they have a bitter undertone that sends shiver through me. As does acai berry.

Really? I've only had dry goji berries but they taste ok to me, a bit woody but nothing too bad. I cant imagine wanting them in my tea though :|
Yeah I guess we(americans) dont know much about them though. When I was at the grocery store looking for them I asked somebody who works there where I might find them and they looked at me weird, like "wtf goji berries?" Lol luckily I found them. :D
I was thinking about taking a trip to a local asian supermarket to look for some goodies. I'd like to get my hands on some fresh berries, ginger, and some high quality bulk tea :) I also wanna just look around and grab whatever catches my eye, I'm tired of the bullshit grocery stores around here I'm used to shopping at :\ Anybody have any suggestions as to what I should grab?
Never had acai berries but I hear they're packed full of nutrients as well.

I love eating banana blossoms (or hearts).

The deep purplish-crimson-coloured banana flower is used as a vegetable from Sri Lanka to Laos. The flower is borne at the end of the stem. Long, slender, sterile male flowers with a faint sweet fragrance are lined up in tidy rows and protected by large reddish bracts. Higher up the stem are groups of female flowers which develop into fruit without fertilisation.

In Thailand, slices of tender banana flower are eaten raw with the pungent dip known as nam prik, or with fried noodles, or simmered in a hot sour soup with chicken, galangal and coconut milk.

In the Philippines, banana blossom is added to the famous kari-kari, a rich beef stew. 'Banana blossom' or 'banana heart' are the favoured names in the Philippines and 'banana heart' in Indonesia purely because its colour and shape suggest a heart; (nothing to do with the 'heart' of the trunk used in Burma). In Sri Lanka, it is simply 'plantain flower'. In Australia it is known as 'banana bell'.
