Almonds tend to be one of mine in a pinch, a good fresh apple too, but I’d love to know some more, particularly in terms of meals.

    Celery with various toppings. Peanut butter, hummus, and while I haven’t tried I’m certain a tuna or chicken salad would be great on some celery.

      I’ve replaced tuna salad with salmon salad in an effort to reduce my mercury consumption.

    I’ve been eating sprouts, e.g. fenugreek, radish, broccoli, and clover, for about 2 years. I usually eat the sprouts with hummus I make from sprouted, chickpeas, lentils, and/or mung beans. It’s a good way to get fiber in your diet without the sugar.

      Mm, I haven’t had radishes in awhile. They’ve a nice crunchiness to them as I recall.

        Radish with a yoghurt dip, yum! That was my friend’s child’s favourite food when she was 3 and I basically learned to love it from the baby.

    I think roasting or air frying is the way to go. How about something with roasted potatoes (or other veggies, like cauliflower), or roasted legumes?(roasted chickpeas tend to be popular!)

    Here’s my favourite salad: Juice two oranges and half a lemon, put in a big bowl. Thinly slice three apples, immediately put the slices in the bowl with the citrus juice. Grate 1 cm of ginger if you like it, mix in. Add in cooked beluga lentils, however much you want. It stays crisp for about three days in a good fridge. I tend to use a mandolin to slice the apples, so they’re chip sized - smaller pieces get soggy quicker.

    It’s also great as a side dish.

      Ooh, that’s the kinda meal-prep I’m after, particularly when it comes to healthier stuff (it all seems to go bad so quickly, I feel like I must be handling it all wrong)! Also, this speaks to how basic my meal prep is, but when I read mandolin I couldn’t help immediately thinking of the musical instrument instead, lol

        Maybe they seem to go bad quickly because there’s no added preservative :D Having said that, I made this Korean marinade two weeks ago - gochujang, garlic, chili peppers, an apple, soy sauce. I put it in a jar and we haven’t been using it as much as we could. I’ve been expecting it to go bad, ferment, or grow mould for a while, but it’s still good. I think it’s all the salt acting as preservative? I really don’t know.
