What are the 25 most nutrient dense, healthy snack items we can include in the 5PM Mahalo snack?

That sounds like my kind of spread! The top nutrient-dense foods, according to the second source I've listed below (compiled by a physician), rating not just anti-oxidants but protein and minerals too, are: Pork Almonds Beef Herring Cheddar Cheese Chicken Liver Egg Yolks (but from standard eggs, not free-range) Broccoli Butter Brazil Nuts Macademia Nuts by contrast, things like bananas, brown rice, potatoes and whole grains pale in comparison. Here are my picks on what you could do with these: 1.

Deviled eggs made from real free-range eggs. Jazz 'em up. Put some salsa verde in with the yolks; or curry powder or a little chutney; capers; have fun with it!2.

Spiced nuts. These are a cinch to do in a slow-cooker. I know Trader Joe's has a couple of good flavors, but really, you're only limited by your imagination.

Mix in butter, spices, set to low for 2-3 hours. The slow cooker toasts them and roasts the spices in. Try pumpkin pie spice on pecans; try curry powder or garam masala on almonds; try blue cheese dressing with walnuts.

Try chili powder: Penzeys Spices carries all kinds of great blends. 3. Taramasalata, which is garlic, lemon juice, fish roe, and fresh soft cheese.It's Greek.

You could serve it with pita, but flour paste products really don't have that much nutrition. So try it with raw veggies.4. Pate', particularly liver pate made from free-range animals 5.

Boneless free-range pork ribs with blueberry barbecue sauce 6. Nut butters, particularly almonds, mixed with cheese and used as a dip 7. Chicken livers breaded with Parmesan cheese and Italian herbs, and oven roasted for an hour.

Great source of B-vitamins and many other nutrients.8. I often do "coffee nog" at home: a mug of coffee (usually caffeine-free) with unsweetened almond milk, raw cream, raw eggs, and stevia, and lots of ice. Sometimes I'll use whey protein powder instead of the eggs.9.

Free-range chicken wings breaded with a mix of Parmesan and fresh Italian herbs, roasted for an hour 10. Pavlova made with free-range eggs, fresh raw pasture-fed cream, stevia and in-season berries.It's almost more a meal than a dessert! 11.

Mix shrimp and cream cheese to make a spread 12. Mix salmon and cream cheese with chopped green onions to make a spread 13. Mix blue cheese and cream cheese to make a spread 14.

Dark chocolate melted with coconut oil, with creamed coconut and sliced almonds and stevia added. Pour in a shallow pan and freeze. The coconut oil has antimicrobial properties; the chocolate has *some* antioxidants; the almonds have protein and the stevia makes your cells more sensitive to insulin (being overweight is a sign of cells not responding properly to insulin) 15.

Mix Gorgonzola and guacamole: Blue-Green Guac! I use the Avocado's Number guac from Trader Joe's. 16.

Avocado halves pitted and filled with crumbled Gorgonzola with lime juice squeezed over them. Keeps them green and the flavors are incredible. 17.

Goat cheese medallions (raw if possible) topped with olive tapanade.18. Olives stuffed with goat cheese.19. Mix organic ratatouille with organic creme fraiche and use as a spread or a dip (depending on the ratio) 20.

Organic berries with pasture-fed cream. This is like the Pavlova without the protein from the eggs 21. "Egg buns" made from eggs and cream cheese.

Can be used under berries and cream. Also called "Oopsies". 22.

Shakes made from real kefir made from good pasture-fed milk and berries 23. Dry summer sausages, nitrate-free, made from pastured pork 24. Yogurt parfaits made from pasture-fed milk 25.

Gorgonzola and cream cheese stuffed into celery stalks or served as a dip.

The above answer is really in-depth and informative, creative and original but to be honest there is no way I could eat more than one of those each week, if I did heartburn city. But maybe that is just me. I would rather combine healthy foods with healthier versions of comfort foods to keep everyone happy at work especially if they are continuing on well after 5pm.1.

Fresh slices of colorful bell peppers with a plain yoghurt dip (high source of vitamins with calcium and probiotics) 2. Chilled pineapple spears on sticks (reusable chopsticks of course) 3. Organic celery and carrot sticks & all natural peanut butter dip 4.

California roll sushi 5. Japanese oden- boiled vegetables in soup broth 6. Cold somen noodles with ginger soy sauce dip (you could play "somen nagashi" and try to catch noodles with your chopsticks as they slide down a bamboo pipe) Nothing is more nutritious than a bit of fun with good food!7.

Pretzel varieties: Bavarians, stix, standard, shaped, flavored- tasty and low in fat 8. Figs- fresh and dried 9. Avocado dip- guacamole with garlic, veggies and spice is a great afternoon pick-me-up on crusty bread 10.

Homemade organic ice-creams (ben & jerry 2nd best) or sorbet (less fat) 11. Fruit and Veggie cakes. Muffins or breads: great recipes for zucchini cake, carrot cakes, banana, date, fig 12.

Tzatziki - Greek garlic, cucumber and yoghurt dip & crusty breads 13. Chocolate dipped bananas, strawberries and other fruits (nice from a chocolate fountain) 14. Shaved ice or Snowcones with fruit, azuki beans or sherbert at bottom (great for summer) 15.

Banana, chocolate and peanut butter smoothies 16. Wheat grass shots & dark chocolate chasers 17. Natto fermented soya beans with chopped green onion sushi 18.

Savory crepes- lighter and healthier than pizza: fill with red pepper, red onion, ham and goat cheese 19. Cold tomato gazpacho soup 20. Baba ganoush mid-eastern eggplant dip with warm pita bread 21.

Oven fries served with spiced soya-mayo or salsa 22. Baked potatoes or twice baked potatoes or potato skins with aged cheddar, plain yoghurt & green onion 23. Homemade wholemeal & grain bread drizzled with honey 24.

Mini Pita pizzas- black olives, anchovies, aged cheddar and buffalo mozzerella 25. Dried cranberries, dried raisins, dried mango, dried apple selection.

I suggest you add healthy foods such as granola bars, cheese , crackers and yogurt. Healthy snacks is the way to go.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
