Usually nothing though occasionally some cubes of cheese with the olives if I want a more significant snack, I also like the olives and cloves of garlic antipasto. With watermelon though, just by itself.

That's great to hear. Do you have them both also mixed in for salads? :-)

I eat handful of cashews, terribly addicted. I do have on salads as with walnuts. I eat walnuts on my cereal together with scoop of mixed seed I combine. Having read various articles I read to slow down the digestive process to mix seeds etc on carb meals.

That's a great idea for the nuts and cereal together. Is it a parfait-like combination, or measured and thrown on top? :-)

I buy bags of different seeds and mix them, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds I put in a blender to break down roughly. Sesame, poppy, chia seeds, linseeds.

Take dried apricots (3 count as one a day) but also to protect against anemia something I have just recovered from. Fruit is my snack of choice in place of previous biscuits and cookies!

Olives or plain avocado. (my HDL is usually too low so I try & eat avocado often), or hardboiled egg

These are really good and has a lot of protein. I eat hard boiled eggs for breakfast each day and eat olives with avocados on a salad and/or on the side.

I usually have cheddar cheese crisps, homemade trail mix or hummus with gluten free crackers for both snack and/or meals on hot temperature days. πŸ˜€πŸ‘
