    Compiling a list of relatively healthy foods that can be consumed “on the go” (ie. doesn’t require refrigeration or microwaving). So far I’ve got fruits, nuts, canned fish, museli bars. Anything else?

      I like the mini cans of corn. Just drain and eat. Yes I’m weird. You can get healthier versions of things like wholemeal crackers. Granola makes a good snack, but some of the mixes are high in sugar.

      Cheese sandwiches. With peanut butter rather than real butter. Also jam and vegemite are not temperature sensitive. I would question the health of muesli bars - how much sugar is in them? Hard boiled eggs (not shelled until just before eating) are pretty good for protein too and will go one day easily without refrigeration. Trail mix (make your own) is a good non-temp sensitive munch to fill gaps. Snap peas are a nice crunch snack when you get bored with carrot sticks. And there is always popcorn.

        Interesting options. Lol with the peas and popcorn I know exactly what I’ll do…just keep popping em in my mouth non-stop.

      Homemade banana bread. Dry biscuits. Pretzels. Lebanese bread. Laughing cow cheese or the equivalent (the ones on the shelf.).

        Banana bread is a good idea. Hadn’t thought of that. Wonder if it keeps ok if I slice up a loaf and freeze it…I think I’ll definitely add vitaweats. Wasn’t aware there was cheese on shelves too.

          That’s exactly what I was thinking with the banana bread but I didn’t want to overwhelm you. The cheese you’ll find near the Vegemite. It’s not the healthiest cheese but a piece every now and again won’t hurt you. Still full of calcium.

            Hmm okay it won’t be every single day of the week but I’d say half the week so hopefully not too hard on the heart kinda snack
