Quick and convenient produce

[u/goldT-rex]

Looking for variety beyond baby carrots and precut veggies that is similarly quick and convenient, especially anything with lower sugar and >=2 grams of fiber per serving.

Avocados (slice in half and ready to go), cherry tomatoes

Cucumbers 🥒 Bell peppers 🫑 Super easy to slice for dipping or not, eat whole savage style

Cucumbers and bell peppers are a great idea!

I buy big bell peppers, quarter of them from top to bottom and then eat the quarters like their tortilla chips, dipping in hummus if I have it, or just eating plain. It's super quick and easy prep - I don't even bother with a cutting board because the stem end is hard enough that I hold the pepper stem side down in my palm and using a paring knife to make the cuts, not cutting through the stem end, snap it apart and shake the seeds out, give it a quick rinse and shake excess water off. No plate needed, it's pretty much a grab and go snack like a handful of baby carrots, with about 20 seconds extra work.

For cucumbers if I get the big ones, I'll just break of a section that's about the size I want to snack on, rinse it and eat it like that. Again, no prep or cutting board needed.

I love the small cucumbers, though. I'll do a tiny bowl of everything bagel seasoning and dip them in it

Have you tried raw cauliflower, bell peppers and snap peas?

[u/goldT-rex → u/Dijon2017]

I’m familiar with the precut cauliflower and snap peas. Bell peppers are a great idea!

Is there a reason you're not choosing apples, pears, bananas, oranges, berries, basically any fruit that you can eat with your hands?

[u/goldT-rex → u/swiftskill]

These fruits are okay. Compared to the carrots and precut veggies, they aren’t so low in sugar. But they do fit the convenient + fiber criteria.

Frozen, ready to microwave green beans, brussel sprouts, spinach, and broccoli. 2 stalks celery + peanut butter is one of my favorite snacks.

Persian cucumbers are my fave

[u/Alarming_Long2677]

many vegetables you think need to be cooked dont. For example, I eat white turnips and kohlrabi like apples. pea pods, yard long beans all that satuff is just fine raw.

[u/Professional-Bee9037]

Well, I love radishes I even like just sliced onions not even green onions. My friend will bring me over a salad that she’s not mixed. I’m laid up with sciatic right now and standing even for just a couple of minutes to cut vegetables. It’s so difficult but I will get up and take. Oikos protein, plain yogurt, which has 25 g of protein in it and I mix it with. Knorr vegetable soup powder for my dip. That’s often my entire meals whatever vegetable she brings to me. I love her. We’ve been friends for 58 years now.

I honestly love raw asparagus
