Popcorn, peanuts, or cereal when I’m lazy, otherwise a slice of american cheese cut into 8ths and placed over ritz crackers with a dab of honey mustard or ketchup on each one.
Not exactly a "snack", but one of my go-to five-minute lunches is a bag of pre-cooked microwaveable rice, topped with a fried egg and kimchi. Simple, easy, delicious.
This makes for decently crispy chickpeas, with not that much effort. Chickpeas are also very cheap and quite a healthy alternative as far as snacks go.
I place a paper towel below and above the chickpeas while microwaving to avoid any chickpeas exploding and messing up my microwave oven. Varying the spices allows for good variety in the snacking experience.
Ingredients
1 can of chickpeas
Some frying oil
Any spice mix you like
Steps
Drain and rinse the chickpeas
Place a paper towel on a large plate, put the chickpeas on top, then another paper towel
my preference has always been the humble almond; i usually get some dark-chocolate roasted ones which are particularly good and come in 32 packs that i can make last for a month. on the more processed side i will never tire of Wheat Thins--i can go through half a box of those in a day, lol
Apples and a homemade oatmeal protein bar (oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, pb, vanilla extract, honey, unsweetened almond milk...chill and cut into bars).
Oranges are the perfect snack for me. Fiber to satisfy the hunger, juicy enough to not leave me thirsty after, and most kinds are easily peelable by hand so no washing required!
My order of preference is mandarin oranges, clementines, and tangerines, but even navel and blood oranges can be peeled by hand and the only mess they leave is the oil from the skin. In general as long as you don't break the segments you can avoid a mess.
If it's just the beans, I eat them straight up. If they're in the pod: steam, sprinkle with flaky salt, and eat them by putting the pod in your mouth (so you get the salt!) and popping the beans out.
I'm a bit lazy with my snacks, so I grab the multi-packs from Costco. You microwave them, add some salt and then eat them out of the pods. These ones, I think?
