Better Than Chips
!markdown
My arsenal in the "avoid the potato chips from the Seven-Eleven" plan:
* dried apricots
* dried peaches
* dried apples
* sultanas
* dried cranberries
* dates
* banana chips
* toasted coconut
* Surprise peas
* unsalted roast peanuts
* unsalted roast pepitas & sunflower seeds
* smoked almonds
* salted roast pistachios (in shells)
* roasted corn kernels
* beef jerky
Snack boxes made up and ready to roll. Each box has a different mix. Most of them are either all-savoury or all-sweet. I also avoided mixing moist things and non-moist things (e.g. don't put dried apricots and banana chips together or the banana chips will go limp). The reason for making up my own snack boxes rather than getting Harvest Box is that, while theirs might be more nutritionally balanced, and even though one can rate the various mixes and put "do not want" on some of them, even the ones I like the most contain things I don't like - such as raw pepitas & sunflower seeds. I prefer them cooked. I generally don't like raw nuts full stop. So these boxes I made up don't contain anything at all that I dislike. They do contain things that I may like more than others, but there is nothing there that I dislike. So, we shall see how this goes, next week.
