Being High: Healthy Snacks and Munchies
Healthy Snacks isn’t a term that one would hear frequently when being high but one of the most satisfying experiences when enjoying a little bit of green is the delightful dance your taste buds do when they encounter your favourite munchies. But let’s be real, while we might be tempted to dive headfirst into a sea of chips, cookies, or worse.. the food delivery apps… there’s a better way to satisfy those cravings without compromising your health.
So, let’s talk about being high and the type of snacks that will make your taste buds sing while keeping your body happy. Whether you’re enjoying a cozy solo session or getting together with friends for a laid-back hangout, these are Minerva’s top five munchies to take your high to the next level in the tastiest and healthiest way possible.
Minerva's Top 5 Healthy Snacks and Munchies for when you're high.
1 – Veggie Delight
When the munchie monster comes knocking, why not welcome it with a crunchy, colourful medley of fresh veggies? Carrots, celery, bell peppers, and cucumber slices are perfect choices. Dip them into some hummus, Greek yogurt, or a homemade tzatziki sauce for that extra zing. Not only will these veggies satisfy your need for a satisfying crunch, but they’re also loaded with vitamins and fiber that your body will thank you for.
2 – Fruit Frenzy
Didn’t you know that fruit is nature’s candy? Sliced apples with a side of almond butter, a bowl of mixed berries, or even frozen grapes – these juicy, sweet treats are a refreshing way to indulge your sweet tooth while still staying on the healthy side. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and natural sugars, fruits are the perfect companions to your high and the best replacement for candy.
3 – Nutty Goodness
Nuts are your brain’s best friends, especially when you’re on cloud nine. Grab a handful of almonds, walnuts, or pistachios to give you a high-powered mind boost during your next session. Not only do nuts provide a satisfying crunch, but they also offer healthy fats, protein, and essential nutrients that keep your body in tip-top shape.
4 – Popcorn Pleasure
Craving something salty and satisfying? Say hello to popcorn! Opt for air-popped popcorn and sprinkle on some nutritional yeast as a cheesy flavour or a dash of your favourite herbs and spices for a unique twist. Popcorn is a whole-grain snack that’s low in calories and high in fiber, making it a perfect choice for those chill moments.
Or if you want to push the high further, indulge in some Sweet & Salty Infused Popcorn!
5 – Yogurt Parfait
Turn your high into a mini-celebration with a yogurt parfait that’s as delicious as it is nourishing. Layer Greek yogurt with granola, fresh fruits, and a drizzle of honey for a symphony of flavours and textures. Greek yogurt is rich in protein and probiotics, which can help soothe your tummy and support your gut health.
The key here is balance and mindfulness. While treating yourself to these delectable and wholesome snacks, be sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Listen to your body – it’ll let you know when you’ve had your fill.
Let’s make the most of our high experiences by embracing the joys of healthy munching. These snacks aren’t just about satisfying cravings; they’re about nurturing our bodies and elevating our senses in a way that both our taste buds and our well-being will appreciate. So next time you’re on cloud nine, give these tasty treasures a try and enjoy a munchies journey that’s not only satisfying but also nourishing. Happy snacking friends!
