DefectiveCandy Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Our annual DnD weekend retreat is coming up, where a bunch of friends go out camping and play DnD all weekend.I want to bring some more healthy options to the snack table, but have it be something that people will actually eat. (So something more than a veggie plate) Anyone have some good suggestions on yummy goodies that go well with slaying evil...or good...depending on your alignment? Quote Link to comment

There is just too much to choose from. I was lookin for others suggestions, like other peoples go-to snacks for gaming sessions and such. Maybe themed stuff. Quote Link to comment
ChrisJ Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I usally stick to nuts and dried fruit. Celery with almond butter is pretty epic. One time we ate mini oreos in a bowl of milk, like cereal. I don't recommend it. Quote Link to comment
RisenPhoenix Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'd say edamame, if people aren't put off by green (tasty) things. Throw a little soy sauce on those suckers and they are amazing. Otherwise I'd go with dried fruit and nuts.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Core a bunch of jalapenos then slice em in half length wise. Fill with cream cheese. Cook bacon well, crumble it on top, then top with chedder cheese and stick it in the broiler to melt the chedder. You will thank me.

Otherwise I'd go with dried fruit and nuts.I completely forgot about edamame...I can eat those things by the bag... Core a bunch of jalapenos then slice em in half length wise.

Since I had to go gluten-free, my wife has been going for broke on healthy snacks at our D&D sessions. I am a chronic snacker at my game table. Anything within my arm's reach is fair game. We've had good results with fruit trays (both pre-packaged and homemade). In a camping environment, a fruit salad with a sealable lid would be a better option. When we go camping, our snacks tend towards dried fruit and jerky. Bulk food stores have a wide selection of both to allow you to tailor to the specific tastes of your group. If you're in Canada, Bulk Barn is glorious for that kind of thing. Outside of Canada, I am no help. Quote Half-Giant Monk current challenge "Promote yourself, but do not demote another."
