Fast Easy but definitely NOT Fast Food

Food on a Plate - Feeding Friday


It's late Friday afternoon, end of the week. I ran this morning then did yard work earlier this afternoon.

A small snack is called for and a bag of chips is definitely not my style.

This small plate has a variety of nuts (no great care in selecting the nuts), a dried fig and a piece of whole grain bread with about a tablespoon of hummus (not my own).

Nuts are a steady part of my diet as they provide a supply of non-saturated fats and a variety of vitamins and minerals.

Figs both dried and fresh are a delight. A supply of slow digesting sugar plus anti-oxidants and vitamins.

Hummus provides protein plus healthy fats. Traditionally hummus is made from chick peas but there are many recipe variations.

Whole-grain bread provides fiber plus slow digesting carbs.

All of this washed down with hot black tea and rice milk (no sugar of course).
