By coincidence, having not tasted Soreen for years, I twice received a packet of the lunch box sized malt loaves in my weekly delivery of food for the 'elderly and vulnerable' This has reminded me of how tasty it is. I am hooked again

For the past two months I have been picking fruit from the garden daily. The best fruit goes straight into my mouth as I pick, while the not quite as perfect fruits are made into jam. I have also during lockdown developed my own quick and easy snack utilising the bananas (also from my food parcel( and small wraps. Spread wrap with soft butter or Raspberry jam (or both), wrap banana and squash. D licious

We always grow cherry tomatoes, so my go to snack in the summer is a freshly picked tomato, in winter it’s sliced melon or a handful of nuts and raisins.

Snacking on melon and celery is safe but what works for me is having breakfast that little bit later stops the snacking mid morning

I like greek yoghurt (the real one) , blueberries, raspberries with a small amount of muesli :-)

Soreen handy snack packs and real butter: nothing beats it unless you add fresh strawberries or raspberries on top of each slice.

my go to snack is a banana - so already portion controlled. If I have nuts, I only have what can fit in the palm of my hand and then the packet is puts away, otherwise it's too easy to eat too many.

Make your own MINI CHEESECAKE with a Soreen base (this malt loaf is great as a base, instead of biscuits). In a small container or jar add your soreen loaf, top frozen yogurt of your choice and a few slices of fruit. Put it in the freezer for around 20-30 minutes- just so that it gets cold. Take it out for a few minutes before you tuck in! Voila

Celery with guacamole or apple & celery with different cheeses & perhaps a couple of crackers to fill me up!

My family live on Soreen and fruit, the pre sliced stops the squashing!

I'll prep a lot of salad so they're ready for me to eat when I'm peckish.
When I need something more filling to keep me going some toast, Soreen or a cracker with a bit of butter is perfect.

My go to is normally oat cakes with light cream cheese and thinly sliced strawberries but did not realise how healthy this malt loaf really is so have now added to my shopping list, just need to remember to limit myself to one slice?

I try not to goshopping when I'm hungers so less impulse buying, then if I don't have unhealthy snacks in the house less likely to eat them.

I keep lots of fruit in the house to have a healthy snack.

When the 'I need a snack now' button is activated, I drink a glass of water instead of snacking as I'm actually thirsty, rather than hungry.

If I think I might be hungry between meals, I have a cup of tea first and that usually tides me over so I don't end up reaching for unhealthy snacks.

I make carrot fingers, swoosh them in olive oil and piquant paprika, and put in a hot oven for five minutes. Lovely !

If I'm longing for a snack, but know that I'm not really hungry, I start by drinking a glass of water then make myself wait ten minutes. Quite often, the craving has passed by then.

If it hasn't, I might have a very small bowl of muesli, as the mixture of oats, fruit and nuts seems to satisfy the craving, meaning I don't go back for more like I do with things like biscuits, crisps or nuts.

Maybe I should try Soreen next time, as it sounds like it might work just as well,

When sharing a snack with the kids, chop some grapes or apples. Peanut butter is great to dip them in. Some cubed cheese and some Soreen loaf buttered. Easy and you get fruit, fibre and dairy.

Chop up some of your favourite crudites and have them ready to go in the fridge, when you feel the need to open that magic door LOL

I have stopped spreading margarine or butter on bread, toast, buns and my Soreen fruit loaf, so I can snack a bit more with no extra calorie damage.

I've given up snacking because it was interfering with my weight loss and metabolism. I've lost more weight since. That said, if I feel super-hungry I go for complex carb and/or high protein - so maybe a few nuts or very small cheese and crunchy veg like sliced pepper, carrot sticks or celery. Means you chew lots which helps the feeling of fullness. I avoid sugar because it's addictive, with empty calories.

I very rarely snack but if it is hot I would have an ice cream.
Soreen is sometimes eaten after lunch as a dessert

I have two buttered slices of Soreen for breakfast, when I top them with banana slices, I don’t need a snack. In fact it keeps me going till mid afternoon.
My tip is to plan in advance for snacks. DH needed to cut back, so I prepared healthy snack boxes. Combinations of cheese, cherry tomatoes, grapes, celery, nuts, Bread sticks, sun dried tomatoes, cucumber and carrot sticks, scallions, pineapple cubes. Once or twice a week a box will have a chocolate Or cake treat. Because I am controlling the snacks I have to be good too..
I must confess that this is a good intention that I haven’t yet implemented.

Watermelon for me - especially in warm weather.

Although having read this thread and seen people discussing malt loaf with cheese I’ve just added Soreen to the online shop for the first time in about 15 years!

I just love the taste, the thicker the slice the better for me !
