What are some wholesome, soft snacks?
I’m a vegetarian. I eat dairy and vegetables. I eat organic as much as possible. I avoid refined sugar. Naturally occurring sugar in fruit is completely acceptable.
I’m trying to maintain my own teeth that are not very good. I recently had some very expensive work done.
I will be eating a lot more yogurt. Not the little individual cups. Those are full of added sugar. I buy a large tub of organic Greek yogurt at Costco. What can I add to it? I often add honey and fruit.
I enjoy all kinds of fruit. I was thinking of trying to find fruit snacks that don’t have added sugar.
I often will eat a piece of buttered toast. That makes me feel full for a long time.
What are your ideas?
Please be realistic. I’m a single man. I’m not going to cook for my snacks. I don’t want to have to clean up several dishes just for a snack.

Ice cream. A banana split. Peanut butter on toast. Tomatoes with a bit of salt. Oatmeal with honey. Mashed potatoes.
Buttered toast is a great idea that you can build on: Peanut butter toast? Avocado toast? Egg on toast? Cheesy toast?
Also, if you want to be really frugal, did you know you can make your own yogurt? I have never tried it myself but I did some research very early in the pandemic when shelves were empty, and it sounded like a pretty good project.
Applesauce no sugar
Apple bananas (know you find those)
Cottage cheese with pears, berries, or other fruit.
Cheeses and perhaps crackers.
Carrots, other vegetables and/or pita chips dipped in hummus or other dips.
Celery with nut butters.
Muesli, trail mix, nuts, dried fruit.
Trader Joe has quite a few novel snacks involving dried fruit & vegetables, seaweed, etc., and they have some killer hummus and cheeses, crackers, etc.
Try soaking dried fruits in water and keeping it in the refrigerator.
Nuts are good and cashew nuts are quite soft.
Those are very strict parameters friend. If you want to eat organic, healthy vegetarian snacks, you’ll have to do some cooking! You can’t have it both ways. You won’t find too many ‘healthy’ veg food on the supermarket shelves. What you find are invariably tainted with preservatives and such.
I’m a vegetarian…born that way….been that way….for generations and centuries, as I’m an Indian. I can give you 100s of recipes…but you’ll need to make them!
If you have a blender, you can put that Greek yogurt to use as the base for smoothies. Add some ice, dash of milk, and a variety of sliced fresh fruit. Blend. Drink.
Yummy.

No sugar added spreads mixed in yogurt, I get whole milk Greek yogurt because the low fat yogurt has sugar added.
Salad, tomato soup with crackers, or maybe even organic Quinoa Apple Granola Bars. I’ve eaten all of these and you’ll possibly like it! @Hawaii_Jake :)
Prunes in small quantities are healthy.
You can microwave a carrot or sliced potato for 10 minutes.
Slice avocado lengthwise. Remove pit. Fill divot with balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle salt. Spoon into face.
Change up your nut butter game for some variety. I like sunflower and almond.
A good blender with open up the world of smoothies, which can make quick snacks of whatever you feel like adding, and takes supplements well.
If you can bring yourself to make a large pot of soup every few weeks, you can freeze it in portions for easy, cheap, healthy, satisfying quick meals. Add some bread and butter, boom, you’re at Panera.
@RocketGuy – the list you’ve provided is about one of the reasons people buy organic, not all of them. Its position is that, because the end consumer faces a low pesticide risk from these foods, there is sufficient reason to buy exclusively non-organic, given the lower price. In fact, many people worry about other factors than their personal pesticide exposure. Fair food pricing, environmental damage, and farm worker protection being the main ones.
Tangerines. I love them best because it isn’t so messy. There is nothing you need to do. Like refrigerate if you need something for on the go. They come with their own wrap and easily disposed of and good for the environment. You don’t need any tools to open them or to eat it. Small and light snack. If you have a problem chewing they are soft. Only might need a napkin if you buy the ones with seeds. I get the seedless ones. Of course the next best are bananas but they easily bruise and get brown pretty quick. You can forget tangerines in a drawer for 3 days and it will still be edible.
There are all different nut/seed butters. I like tahini. Good luck!
Try humus! I love it! And so does my mom.
@idktimmyturner – hummus and chips or hummus and pita! Yum! Low in added sugar and fats too.
