When I want a little sweet treat I make smoothies.
My base is always frozen banana + milk + oats then do one of these:
Cinnamon + vanilla
Pumpkin + pumpkin spice+ brown sugar
Strawberries/blue berries
Cost like under a dollar to make a good cup and they are pretty filling.

Hint of Lime Tostitos and guacamole. I could eat an entire bag, which is why I rarely buy them.
Where can you get cheap guacamole?
Vegan chocolate chip cookie. I’m not vegan, but cutting dairy completely was a major daily health improvement. Tried it once for a few weeks and never went back.
Oh sick!
I always find joy in the fact that vegan community accidentally made a large infrastructure for people who need to cut out certain animal products.
Find that you can’t eat eggs? Vegans know what replacements work for what purpose.
Milk disagree with you? They have choices!
Happy to hear that it made it easier to cut out dairy for your health!
Brown soda bread made with buttermilk, still warm from the oven with butter and good cheddar. So comforting. It’s like tasting my childhood again.
You can’t just lay that out there without giving us the deets on how to create it ourselves
Here you go. :) Let me know if you give it a whirl!
Hahaha. In a short space I’ve had two folks asking for it.
It honestly couldn’t be simpler. I did reply to the other request with the basics and will get back to you both in the morning as it’s 2am here. :)
Do you have a recipe?
I’m gonna get you the proper measurements etc. tomorrow because it’s very late here but the ingredients are:
400g wholemeal flour
White plain flour, seived (my own preference is about 1/4 but you let your mouth decide from experience)
Baking soda
Pinch of salt
Buttermilk until it’s fairly mushy
Honestly you just lump it all together. Make a circular mound out of it. Criss cross with a knife and lob it in the oven on a floured baking tray at 180C for fan.
I’ll get you a proper recipe in the morning or poke me if I forget. It’s hard to do wrong and I’m not a good baker.
That’s good enough, I can work with that. Thank you!
Here’s a decent one. I was pretty close. :D
I would tend to do 400 / 100 brown to white, no wheatgerm as I said but I do like it it a bit more dense. Higher white flour ratio will have it slightly less dense so up to yourself. It’s technically possible to do with normal milk and baking powder (instead of buttermilk / baking soda) but I would always go with the buttermilk and soda myself.
I also frequently use that recipe and just roll it out and cut scones out of it with a glass or large cutter. They cook faster for hungry kids and have more crust (which I like).
Interested to hear if you do give it a whirl. :)
edit: I had a quick look at your post history and see you’re vegan. Baking powder (probably 2tsp I imagine for the acid + base instead of 1 for just the base when using baking soda) with oatmilk I would imagine would be totally fine. I’m not sure if there are any acidic vegan milks that would be the equivalent of the buttermilk?
In a pinch I have used cows milk, baking soda and a small amount of vinegar or even lemon juice in the milk for raising. Good luck!
Ok I’m vegan so I’ll have to substitute a bit but that’s fine, I can make it work! Thanks.
Chopped, frozen strawberries in milk. Sometimes with maple syrup. Cream if I’m feeling rich.
DIET COKE
Which is probably even more unhealthy than regular coke since it uses the same or more amount of sugar but artificial sugar.
That may be the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen on this website.
I swear I read somewhere that diet sodas had the equivalent amount of regular sugar but as artificial sweetener so it wasn’t really all that healthy. Apparently I’m wrong about this.

Edit: found one that says it has linked health risks to diet sodas but it’s not too sure why.
I read somewhere that government and corporations have been taken over by lizard people so we don’t find out the truth about flat earth.
This is a weird one, but hear me out. Undiluted cold brew coffee mixed with chocolate meal replacement powder and milk. The powder and milk make it really foamy when mixed and it tastes so good; it would probably also be amazing blended with ice.
I don’t tend to eat until later in the day so this has the added benefit of making me feel less guilty for forgetting to eat.
Also, frozen pudding cups are yummy.
“Hear me out”
describes a lazy chocolate coffee
I mean it is a unique way of making it, but it’s still just adding coco powder and sugar to cold brew!
Exactly why I said “hear me out” haha
It’s not exactly a “little treat,” and it has a different mouth feel to making cold brew with cocoa.
Hell I just mix strong black coffee with hot chocolate and add half and half or whipping cream for added decadence.
Bulk, cheapest grocery outlet store coffee and any hot chocolate that isn’t nestle because fuck nestle.
Adding a splash of heavy cream to my cereal.
I’ve been making Alton Brown’s seedy date bars. Not too much prep, and quick to snag and enjoy! Maybe 170 calories per bar
Ooh those look good! Just fruit and seeds. Looks better than the stupid granola bars that are mostly sugar.
Instant oats + brown sugar or maple syrup + seeds and/or nuts
Toast with butter and brown sugar. Super cheap, super good, and basically ingredients almost every household has.
Real popcorn popped in a pot with olive oil and sea salt. Dead easy and cheap.
Vanilla yogurt with crisp rye bread / tack crumbled into it, with bilberries (forest blueberry). The sour crunchy tack, vanilla and the sweet berries compliment each other nicely.
Edit: oh and the bilberries must come straight from the freezer, thats crucial.
Oh yes! Yogurt with some crunch and fruit is just SOOO good, and you can get a like $4 tub of yogurt that lets you eat some every day for a week.
It’s either chocolate milk shake or chocolate cake which is relatively cheap near my place 60 for ms and 15-30 rs for cake. But if I feel I need more I get a waffle with white + normal chocolate.
Cream of wheat made with whole milk and a dab of salted butter.
Not very sweet but very rich, warm, and filling
I just go to Dollarama and get a snack . Only place I can still get get snacks for about $1 each these days.
… okay but which snacks are peak for a dollar?
I do remember when I was young though I would go to dollar tree and they would sell a pack of fudge covered graham crackers, and those were amazing.
Any popular bar , off brand gummies small bag of chips 2 for $1 . Big bag of jalapeno Cheetos under $2 . That shit is unheard of in Canada other than at Dollarama !
