I spent a lot of today thinking about snacking sustainably.
The thing about me is, when I find something I like I hold on to it. Perhaps my taste buds are as simple as they are particular. It doesn’t take complexity to please me. I’m satisfied with cream cheese and carrot sticks, or cucumber and humus on rice cake. But also with a crisp granny-smith apple, or amakip-kip (coloured popcorn).
The thing that has always tripped me up is trying to moderate my snack-meal ratio because I prefer lighter meals overall. The line between ‘light meal’ and ‘snack’ tends to blur. I could probably find a way around this by incorporating my snack into a routine activity or time of day. Though I’m concerned about setting too many restrictions. For the most part, I’m just depending on God’s grace to see me through to day 90 with a bag of lessons in tow.
I’ll admit I didn’t eat much today. In my defense, it was a busy day. I had a roasted vegetable salad, a bar of dark chocolate and caramel popcorn.
PS: I think I may be falling in love with kombucha.
