I saw my doctor recently and while talking about what a lazy fat-ass I am, he mentioned something about replacing the crap I usually snack on with healthier snacks like seasoned air-fried cauliflower or something like that. So what are your favorite healthy-ish snacks that can be made relatively quickly when I feel like shoving food in my face for no reason other than boredom and force of habit?

Blueberries are tasty and keep surprisingly long in the fridge.

When I'm at the supermarket, prepackaged salad is pretty nice and comes in portions that I eat before they spoil (in contrast to heads of salad). Try not to drown it in dressing, but honestly even drowned in dressing it should still be healthier than regular junk food snacks.

A tasty vinegar, evoo and seasonings is a good dressing with healthy fat. ACV with the mother can help digestion and gut flora, and maybe BP. A nice balsamic vinegar can double as marinade. Fruit infused vinegars are tasty.

Extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, blood pressure.

A long time ago, someone on the internet gave me a link that's been immensely helpful to me over the years! Maybe you will also find it helpful: https://acronymfinder.com/

I feel like that someone might have contributed to your excessive use of acronyms.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They definitely contributed to me not being too lazy to look things up. I'm certainly glad acronyms aren't prevelant everywhere, all the time.

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And yet you obnoxiously abbreviated "blood pressure" as "BP".

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's common parlance, as is RPG, FPS. IRC, GG, TYVM, IRS. CIA. Go touch grass, your problem seems to be you.

BP is not common parlance. I'd be open to the argument that it's common on a health/medicine-focused comm, but this is Ask Lemmy.

Love these but they've gotten crazy expensive :(
