So this might seem like an odd question, but does anyone have an idea of healthy foods that have a fluffy or spongy texture? I've had trouble with eating unhealthy foods when I'm not even hungry precisely because I crave this texture. I think it may be to do with being on the spectrum; I only recently realised that texture is more important to me than taste (I can't even eat foods of a certain texture because they make me feel sick and ruin my day!)

Problem is the only foods that satisfy these craving so far are things like cake products, certain pizzas, and scotch pancakes - I'd rather not keep being so unhealthy but I have no willpower when I'm feeling down! I was wondering if anyone might know of any healthy foods that were of a fluffy or spongy texture, as search engines aren't coming up with much... I'm guessing there just arent that many options. Just anything that provides health benefits and makes me feel less rubbish :')

EDIT: Wow! These suggestions are great, thank you so much everyone!! I will definitely be looking into these :D

My family and I are going away for Christmas, to a little cottage on the edge of a national park. The cottage has a small kitchen, and we’ve decided that we don’t want to do the whole “turkey and trimmings” dinner this year. We like a roast but none of us are crazy about turkey at the best of times.

I’m looking for suggestions of things we can have for dinner which will still feel like a special meal but doesn’t need days of prep and an extensive kitchen setup. Half of us are veggie, so something that can be adapted to suit meat eaters and veggies would be ideal. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Absolutely loved these at 6 or 7

We bought a load of suet, lard and beef dripping to make some feeding balls for our bird feeder, but we haven't used them yet. I swiped some beef dripping to make roast potatoes today (I don't think I've ever cooked with it before) and they were amazing and now I'm thinking maybe the birds can manage with the suet and the lard. My Great Grandad used to use beef dripping for his roast potatoes and bacon sandwiches. He knew what's what.

Might not look the part but was really good especially the sausage.

Frozen veg and 3 frozen roast potatoes I had left too lol

Bistro gravy with worcester sauce and basil

Glad I didn't phone a takeaway!

Stupid me, removed what seemed all the excessive packaging on a shoulder of lamb but missed a 2 inch square patch that was under it.

I have since roasted it for an hour and 45.

Is it safe to eat or should I throw the whole shoulder away?

I’ve tried the meat but can’t taste any taint, but, assume the patch itself holding whatever the soaking thing is, is made of plastic.

Thanks

Does anyone know any places in London that sell those layered colourful Thai jelly desserts? I keep seeing them in like street markets, but unfortunately I can't travel to try it there myself. Hopefully someone can help!! Thanks

Okay long story short I'm trying to lose weight and make healthier sustainable choices for what I eat. I've discovered my go to for breakfast is always a some form of carb like toast or a bagel.

Does anyone have any healthy tasty breakfast ideas that aren't oats or a smoothie? I hate both and it's all I ever see recommended!

Mine's medium steak served with a baked potato filled with sour cream and chives, accompanied by tenderstem broccoli with a peppercorn sauce drizzled on top.

Very tempted to get one for Xmas!

Was fire

My favourite choccy snack of all time. Used to alternate between the peanut and toasted coconut. 1980s.

I mention Banjo to people and they say, never heard of it. Including people my age!

Basically a wafer like in a kit kat topped with peanut pieces or toasted coconut and covered in chocolate.

This and possibly Texan bars are what I miss the most.

What was your favourite from the 80s or 90s which no longer exists?
