Our general idea is that healthy foods do not taste good. But that is not entirely accurate. Of course there are healthy foods that our taste buds like.

Your blood sugar will remain controlled and you will not have any acid peptic disorder which you may suffer if you fast for a long time. But you selection of food should be ideal. Any food you take should give you adequate energy, should cover all nutrient needs, should not be over-sized portions and should be varied in taste so that you never feel weary about meals.

“Traditionally snacks were prepared from ingredients commonly available in the home, often leftovers, sandwiches made from cold cuts, nuts, fruit, and the like. The Dagwood sandwich was originally the humorous result of a cartoon character’s desire for large snacks. Beverages are not considered real snacks, especially coffee. The only instance in which a beverage constitutes a snack is if it possesses a substantive food item (e.g., strawberries, bananas, kiwis) and then blended to create a smoothie.”
not the bananas, strawberries, kiwis are snacks….
The pictures look very tasty. Real natural juices with vitamin A can be great addition to the food sources.
