I'm happy to see this list, because I like several of these foods.
1) almond butter and fruit - I eat almond butter sandwiches occasionally. Not too often because I eat the stir-no kind that has palm oil in it
2) red grapes, cranberries and pomegranates - I like grapes but have not tried the other two, other than cranberry juice
3) avocado toast - I like avocado toast, but rarely make it.
4) hummus and veggies - I like hummus. Sometimes I eat hummus in a tortilla with mushrooms and tomatoes
5) bread and olive oil - When I go out for Italian food, I eat bread dipped in olive oil and spices. YUM
6) tuna, avocado, and cucumber slices - I have eaten tuna salad with avocado and cucumber slices. I have also eaten tuna salad with diced cucumber in it. All tasty. But I have read not to eat tuna too often because of the mercury content.
7) tuna salad - I eat tuna salad about twice a month. I would eat it more often if it weren't for the mercury levels.
8) salmon and crackers - for the holidays my mom always makes lox and cream cheese spread that I eat on bagels or wheat bread. I need to make this for myself sometimes.
9) walnuts and fruit - I'm not a big fan of nuts, and they are difficult for me to chew and swallow. Sometimes I eat Greek vanilla yogurt or sugar free pudding with walnut flour mixed in. I need to do that more often.
10) bean salsa with sliced bell peppers - I eat refried beans, black beans, and pinto beans often
11) popcorn - I do not eat popcorn due to the choking hazard. It's not worth it to me.
12) Roasted chickpeas - I like hummus but otherwise I don't eat chickpeas
13) edamame - I don't like or dislike edamame. I just don't eat it.
14) pumpkin seeds - I don't usually eat any kind of seeds.
15) cheese and whole grain crackers - I eat cheese at least once a day. I like veggie crackers - are they whole grain?
16) trail mix - I don't eat trail mix
17) peanut butter and whole grain toast - I was not raised on PB&J. I liked peanut butter for awhile as an adult, but I prefer almond butter.
18) overnight oats with nut butter - I've tried oatmeal, and I know how healthy it is, but I don't like it. I eat grits and cream and wheat, but not oatmeal.
19) corn chips and guac - YES! Now you're talking! My mouth is watering.
20) yogurt or cottage cheese - I like both. But I don't eat plain yogurt. I like Greek vanilla yogurt, especially with walnut flour or fruit mixed in - blueberries, strawberries, or peaches. I also like cottage cheese with fruit.
