What snack do you eat in this heat..healthy or not!

Slices of cucumber.

Brunch today is a slice of sourdough toasted, half spread with Saint Agur and half with Boursin, little tomatoes from the garden, plus a nectarine and a plum.

My most favourite is rice cakes (really good with Marmite ones ?) with mashed avocado, smoked salmon (buy the trimmings), lemon juice and black pepper
Also good are:
Apple slices spread with crunchy peanut butter
Celery sticks ditto
Fresh pineapple
Any fruit that’s been kept in the fridge is really refreshing
Iced coffee

Rosiebee

Chilled cheese and cucumber soup, recipe must be about 50 years old but recently re-emerged. Have some gin cocktail ice lollies in freezer for emergencies.

The soup sounds delicious. Do you have a recipe, please, Rosiebee?

Lotus Biscoff mini choc ices

I’ve not seen these. I’ll look out for them now!

Fruity ice lollies

Crackers with cheese spread, soleros, yes multiple soleros and lots and lots of iced drinks, I couldn't manage in this heat without my ice making machine.

1/4 honeydew melon

I’ve started eating a marmite and honey sandwich with my afternoon tea. Delicious and, could be a coincidence, but my restless legs have not been restless at all.

Had a delicious mango earlier which had been ripening on a sunny windowsill.

Yesterday, as an experiment I froze an Asda lemon soya yogurt. It was a bit tricky getting it out of the container but tasted great and was very refreshing. They are nice unfrozen too.

I’ve just had toast and marmite, too hot to eat.

Watermelon and feta again today - the water from the melon and the salt from the feta make it really hydrating. It tastes wonderful and brings back memories of visiting friends in Greece.

Chilled Watermelon

I love butter as well Peaseblossom, just nothing else will do, Mr B has salt free because of his salt free diet and I have salted butter. Just love hot white toast oozing in butter. I was told by my Dr that I will be diabetic in about 15 years time. I am 75 now so I don’t think I will change. I tend to just have snacks when it’s hot, melon and Parma being my favourite and sucking on ice pops meant for the go during to day

Smoothie made with kefir, banana, flaxseed and matcha powder for breakfast.
Sweet potato, hummus, goats cheese, harissa and salad for lunch.
So so healthy…..then some apple tatin with Wensleydale cheese ice cream for 4 o clock snack……not healthy but delicious!

Almond nut magnum ice lollies

Cream crackers with a bit of butter about 11am with a glass of kifir then a slice of homemade fruitcake this afternoon. Really can't be bothered about dinner!!

I have one meal a day…and it lasts from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. I start eating at breakfast and continue till I climb into bed ?

I don’t have snacks but lunch today was Ryvitas spread with Petit Boursin, a large plum tomato and an apple with a small glass of Guiness.

Just polishing off a bowl of vegan salted caramel ice cream.

Because I’m worth it!

Fruit

I don't eat snacks - the heat makes me so absolutely starving that I need two hefty meals a day. I use the calories too, as I am full of energy and get through three times my normal amount of work.

Today it’s been grapes, melon & fresh pineapple chunks and a couple of Baby Bel cheeses.

I’ve just had two crumpets and didn’t enjoy them, because I’m trying to cut out butter as my blood pressure is a bit high and so is my cholesterol. So I had Benecol on them and did not enjoy them. Put marmite on one just so I could eat it, but ended up throwing half of that one away. I LOVE BUTTER! ?

Large slices of water melon the big round ones, cooling and lovely straight from the fridge.
