my top 5 snacks from the grocery store

Grocery shopping is my guilty pleasure. I often end up spending a lot more at the grocery store than I'd like to. But, in the process of doing so, I have narrowed down a few snacks that I absolutely love and ones that prevent me from snacking mindlessly. These might not be the healthiest foods but they keep you full for a good amount of time.

1. Toaster Waffles by Waffle Mill

These have been my go-to snack lately. You just need to pop them in the toaster for 3 minutes. The best part about these waffles is that they aren't sweet by themselves. You can choose how you want to eat it. You can have a savoury beans on waffle or something as simple and sweet as maple syrup on a waffle. Check out my latest Instagram Reel to see how I like to eat it!

2. Vegetable Snacks from To Be Honest

I love eating these snacks when I crave something savoury and salty. To Be Honest manufactures vacuum cooked vegetable snacks that retain their fibre and nutrients. Trust me when I say these snacks are delicious! Each vegetable is coated with spices that complement its flavour. They are also vegan and gluten-free! My favourite flavours are the spiced okra with coriander and herbed taro. I am not a fan of okra/bhindi in sabzis but I love it in this form!

3. Nature Valley Granola Bars

I love granola and protein bars and the ones from Nature Valley are one of my favourites. Granola Bars are easy to carry and have on the go and satisfy the snack hunger really well. Lately, I have been enjoying the roasted almond flavour but there are tons of flavours available in the market.

4. Coco Pops Bars

Another bar for the win! Kellogg's has taken their coco pops cereal and made it into a bar with a layer of white chocolate at the bottom. Each bar has 84 calories for those counting. These aren't as filling as the granola bars but satisfy the sweet tooth more.

5. Koka Instant Noodles

Instant noodles are somewhere between a snack and a meal but I am going to include them in this list. Koka has delicious pan asian flavours. It came in really handy when I craved such food during the lockdown. My go-to flavours are either of the black peppers and the Singapore noodles.

I LOVE discovering different snacks. It is something you can critique immediately and if you like it, it sticks around with you for a long time. Do you like any of these snacks?
