Well? a bowl of ice-cream does it for me. A whole packet of pineapple lump lollies.
A can of V. Plain salted potato chips. 3 slices of pizza.
I have dumped all that. Now it's. 2 cheese on toast. 2 grilled chops with lots of salt.
A bowl of muesli with apricot yoghurt.
Oh? and more recently a whole advocado on ryevita crackers. So its slowly changing.
Gimme some ideas please

@Neelix 1 scoop of icecream instead of two, 1 scoop of pineapple lump lollies instead of the packet etc, and of course my favorite 1 pink doughnut instead of 6!!!
That is my version of comfort food

Hi there @Neelix,
Just came across your post and thought i'd throw a couple more ideas out there 🙂 I always enjoy yoghurt with muesli, some fruit, and nuts- any combination of those! Or if you're looking for something a bit saltier, popcorn is a healthy alternative to chips. You may also want to check out a post about super foods here.

My comfort food is PASTA with garlic bread, cheap to make and usually to buy and if I have a bit of salad or some veggies/tuna in it I don't feel so bad haha.
Otherwise toast is another one, with butter & vegemite and a cup of tea 🙂

My favourite healthy comfort food is fruit salad. With summer approaching, all those delicious summer fruits are in the shops. Gotta love those mangoes!
