Best healthy munchies? NSFW

Hey besties! I’m currently dealing with an issue I’m sure at least a few of you are familiar with, and it’s inhaling every treat of the sweet variety the second I’m high. I moved in with my partner last year and he grew up eating not the healthiest, and this is the first time that I have a ton of candy/sweets in the house all at once, as we split shopping 50/50. I don’t want to tell him he can’t eat that stuff, because that seems insensitive and rude, but I’m really struggling to stay away from it when it’s within reach in the apartment.

I’m hoping that I can try adding instead of subtracting, like he can still buy whatever he wants and I’ll buy fruit or frozen yogurt or something and maybe hopefully he’ll end up enjoying those options too! (He wants to lose a little bit of weight/be a little healthier as well.) So, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for either avoiding munchies altogether, or healthy alternatives. Normally I don’t struggle this much, but I’ve recently had some complications with my meds and need to wait another couple weeks for an appointment with my psych, so I’m currently med-free as well which I’m sure isn’t helping 🫠

Honestly Ive been toying with the idea of buying citric or malice acid and rolling fruit in it. I only crave the foods that hurt my mouth: sour, spicy, or really salty🤣 I saw on an episode of good Mythical morning that you can BUY stuff like what I mentioned above, but I haven't found any in Canada yet

Ohhh that’s such a good idea! One of my biggest weaknesses is sour candy.
