Do you have an afternoon snack?

If so, what?

I've always needed a little something around 3:00 p.m. I thought this would change when I started working from home but it didn't.

Lately I've been enjoying a slice of Eggo Cinnamon Toast. Just toast it up in air fryer, no butter or syrup needed. A serving size is 3 slices for 290 calories but I only eat one slice which is what, 95 calories. It satisfies a little sweet craving.

Fiber One 70 Calorie Brownies. They taste great, they’re only 70 calories, and they’re good for you. I wouldn’t eat any snack greater than 100 calories and no one else should either.

Another option is Great Value Light Greek Yogurt. It’s only 80 calories and it’s satisfying. Also good for you.

I usually have a protein shake (unflavored) before I work out. I use milk instead of water and I add a double shot of espresso to it, a scoop of creatine and a little bit of coffee creamer, so it’s basically a coffee shake. I add the espresso shot to have a little boost beforehand instead of taking pre workout powders.

Yes. I’ve always had tea between 3 - 4, as a kid after school it was usually a toasted cheese or peanut butter or Nutella on toast. I still have the same, except Nutella today is gross, but more likely to have a couple of cookies and a cup of tea. Yesterday I had peanut butter on a cinnamon graham cracker and might have the same today.

by Anonymousreply 39October 2, 2024 3:26 PM

I have my snack around 4. Aldi sells these little single-serving 3-packs of nuts, cheese, and dried fruit, or cheese and a cut turkey slim Jim type thing. I put it on a plate with five or so saltines that I break into pieces can have a little bit of saltine with each bite.

Sometimes if I’m feeling worthy of a little more effort, I will make a plate with a couple gherkins, a quartered beet, and cheese and sausage of my own choosing, what my people called ‘faspa’.

I only have a couple bites of each thing, I think the variance in each food’s taste and texture switches off my desire to have more. It’s good enough but not _too_ good. I try not to get snacks that taste too good. I had to stop buying Wheat Thins for this reason— saltines only.

Fresh garden salad with no more than 2 tablespoons of dressing

10 unsalted whole almonds

I like those little packages called Balanced Breaks that Sargento makes. The versions I like best are the ones with cheddar cheese, almonds or cashews, and dried cranberries. They're tasty, not too sweet, provide some protein, and are only 180 calories. I find I'm really dragging at around 2:30 in the afternoon, practically falling asleep at my desk at work. And that's a snack that provides a nice little energy boost without the sugar rush (and crash) that something more carb heavy would.

I also like Fage 2 reduced fat flavored yogurt. But the Balanced Breaks are my weekday go-to.

I don't have afternoon snacks, dearie. I daintily dress up for afternoon tea with beautiful silk tea gown and then, I wear my sturdier caftans (a lady must not be afraid of looking casual from time to time) for high tea. Of course, later on I return to my station in the grandest style possible with candlelit suppers that put Hyacinth Bucket's infamous events to shame.

Just in case you plebs don't know the difference:

Afternoon Tea can only be had two hours after lunch, but always before the 5 o'clock in evening. It is served in fine bone china and accompanied by all sorts of delicious little treats (scones with clotted cream and jam, sandwiches and a diverse assortment of cakes). Of course, you serve it in the parlour or even better, your personal tea room!

High Tea is a sturdy meal served on high chairs around a table, but not your formal dining room. It's always served after 5 PM and you must drink black tea with it, and you can only eat simpler fare (pies, cheese on toast).

Then you can have dinner after 8 PM on the o'clock, and supper after 10 at night. Mrs Bouquet would be dazzled by my sophistication, and I'm sure that so are you, serfs!

Now, allow me to flip my hair (it's a blond wig) and leave you while sticking my nose up in the air.
