What in the fuck is a low key snack?
I need examples of high key snacks to fully understand this question.
Perhaps add some mid key snacks for me to comprehent this
A high key snack to me would involve 2 separate prep phases.
For instance making crackers involves making the dough then baking which makes it more of a task than cooking a bag of chicken nuggets, which is more of a wait than celery dipped in peanut butter.
I consider these the three teirs of snack making. Anything more and you have entered meal territory.
Maybe it's a snack you like, but not love?
I’m not fluent, but I speak a few words of zoomer. My understanding is the post is asking for things to snack (that’s a cognate) on that is unusual or otherwise unknown
That's if you take the Boobar et al. (2022) interpretation. Under Chumbawumba's Theory of Language, a "low key" refers to an easily accessible doorway in which things pass, as opposed to a "high key" in which one must be on their tippy toes.
Adobo bread buns.
Prior to baking, they make quite a high key sound, but it turns into low-key thud once fully cooked.
You can use the size and moisture content to get the sound you want to some extent.
When making rice at home and if there is still some left over after eating, what I do is compact it as best I can and put it in the Air Fryer. It turns out very crispy and pretty cool.
Granola, peanut butter, chocolate chips & honey. All mixed together in a sticky mess that is tasty. Make too much? Throw it in the fridge and have a cold tasty snack the next day!
I also used to make crunchy granola w/ chocolate and peanut butter and cool it in the fridge. It was amazing.
Roasted seaweed. Never thought about it till I tried it and now it’s a great salty hit.
Find any decent sized packages? Here it seems they individually wrap them in plastic trays with like 5g servings it's ridiculous. No, I'm not just going to have 5g! Give me more
"Kirkland Signature Roasted Seaweed Organic Snack" is probably the best deal out there with the most sheets per package. It can be hard to find sometimes though.
I've seen some that are in plastic containers that look sort of like a square jar. There's a lot in there, and only that one outer packaging. Yamamoto Yama is the brand. If you go in person, careful becuase they have some that are not the squares but the small strips that are more of a topping than a snack.
I’ve seen bundles of 16 individual packages but sadly no bulk package with more than the few sheets you mention.
Very good, but there is so little food and so much packaging that I stopped eating them. It just feels too wasteful.
Yeah this is something I am realising and the only solution the suppliers have is to package multiples of the individual packages… in yet another package!
olives and pistachios
Dates with candy flavor - like candy, only slighlty healthier!
Raw cashews. Very specifically the raw ones. They are a bit hard to find, but they have a really great flavor.
Truly raw cashews are toxic. The ones you're talking about are apparently steamed instead of roasted? Still, I had no idea they existed.
maybe only a few are eaten at a time and over time a tolerance builds up
I love raw cashews. The only problem is that they somehow smell like genitals.
I think that's when the oil in them starts to oxidise (which happens very quickly with the 'unroasted' kind). Kind of fishy smell? Keeping them sealed up airtight should help a bit...
What makes a snack lowkey?
Not widely known or uncommon is what they’re trying to say. Used lowkey kinda wrong.
Marlin jerkey. I was on a bit of a jerky kick last year and ordered all kinds of weird jerky, but the marlin jerky was my favorite. I think I got a lemon pepper flavored one from a company in Hawaii.
Pringle-like "Super Stack : Chili and lime" chips from Dollar Tree
Dollar Trre
Is Dollar Trre the Dollar Tree version of Dollar Tree?
Oops.. Fixed!

Frozen yorkshire puddings with raisins inside. A bit of sweet, a bit of cronch.
I am aware of what I have said, and stand by my poor life choices that led to this brilliant discovery.
This is surely a “I have no food, it’s midnight, shops are shut and I haven’t eaten since breakfast” discovery.
It was in fact a protest because dinner would take an hour and a yorkshire pudding fell out its bag while I was rummaging in the freezer! I needed sustenance and gravity obliged, it would have been rude to deny my destiny. 😊
I am sure that my sacrifices and heroism in a trying time are just what any other normal, sane person would have done... I should think probably I guess
Dry roasted edamame. High on fiber and protein without being super caloric. Perfect for feeling full without having to eat too much.
Banana
Agreed. I really like eating a banana and drinking milk with it. Low key but hella satisfying, decent nutrition and zero prep.
Pickles dipped in spicy whole grain mustard
Watermelon+balsamic vinegar
Peanut-butter filled pretzels
Ants on a log
Grapefruit
These are a few of my favorites
Paqui Carolina Reaper chips. Simply delicious
Agreed paqui really knows spicy chips. Fiery ghost is great
Peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwich. No, was not a pregnant woman, I just didn't have any jam ;)
Just straight up scranning some homemade kimchi
Agree delicious, but hardly low-key. Making home made kimchi is a fair amount of effort.
Tropical Fields Organic Crispy Coconut Rolls
You known those jars of frankfurters you sometimes see in supermarkets. Yeah, the juice of that dipped on sourdough bread. No judgement.
Crunchy peanut butter and low sugar strawberry jam (it's more tart is all, DGAF about the sugar content) mixed together, use as a dip for pretzels. Only done it with crunchy pretzels but might be fire with fresh hot pretzels.
Just give me a spoon
