#111: Snack Like a Pro: The Best Foods to Eat When You’re High

There’s nothing quite like the munchies that come with being high on cannabis. Suddenly, everything looks and smells delicious, and your appetite is insatiable. But not all snacks are created equal when you’re high. Some foods can enhance your experience, while others…well, let’s just say they might not leave you feeling your best.

From comforting classics to unique flavour combinations, the right foods can transform your munchie-induced haze into a tasty adventure. It’s all about taste, texture, and satisfying those cravings that only cannabis can bring.

Sugary escapes

When the munchies hit, sweet cravings tend to be at the top of the list. And for good reason – cannabis can heighten sensory experiences, potentially making the taste and texture of sweet foods more intense and enjoyable. So why not indulge in some of these delicious options?

Chocolate: Not only does chocolate release feel-good endorphins in the brain, but its rich and creamy texture is pure heaven for your tastebuds. Dark, milk, or white – any type of chocolate is a great choice when you’re high.

Ice Cream: The perfect combination of creamy, cold, and sweet, ice cream is a classic munchie choice for a reason. With endless flavours to choose from, you’re bound to find something that hits the spot.

Baked goods: Cookies, brownies, muffins – any kind of baked good is a go-to for satisfying sweet cravings. The soft and crumbly texture combined with the sweetness is a winning combination for any munchie-induced adventure.

Rice Krispy treats: A childhood favourite and so easy to make, Rice Krispy treats are the perfect combination of crispy and gooey. Add chocolate chips, sprinkles, or any other toppings for an extra special treat.

Sugar-free candy: If you're looking to curb your sweet cravings without consuming too much sugar, opt for sugar-free candy. Your taste buds won't know the difference and you'll satisfy your craving guilt-free.

Savoury delights

Sometimes when the munchies are in full force, a sweet treat just won’t cut it. High calorie, salty and fatty foods can sound like the ultimate comfort when you’re high. That's because cannabis promotes the release of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates hunger and increases appetite. So, here are some savoury snacks that will satisfy those cravings and leave you feeling satisfied.

Pizza: The ultimate indulgence, pizza is so satisfying it’s almost criminal. With so many topping options to suit any palette, this cheesy, saucy and doughy goodness will hit all the right spots.

Grilled cheese sandwich: Simple yet oh so delicious, a grilled cheese sandwich is the perfect combination of crispy, melty and gooey. Add in some bacon, avocado or tomato for an extra flavour kick.

Loaded nachos: Layers of cheesy goodness, savoury toppings, and crispy tortilla chips make for the ultimate munchie snack. Salsa, guacamole, and sour cream help complete this mouth-watering dish.

Popcorn: Hot, buttery and crunchy – popcorn is the perfect snack for any movie night. But instead of just plain butter, why not add in some cannabis oil or butter for an extra kick?

Chips & dip: Crunchy chips paired with a variety of dips like salsa, hummus, and spinach artichoke are always a hit. Mix and match different flavours for the perfect combination.

Guilt-free cravings

If you're looking for healthier options to satisfy your munchies, fresh fruits and veggies can be surprisingly intense and satisfying when you're high. Plus, they're packed with essential nutrients that your body may be craving. Some of our top picks for healthy munchies include:

Veggies and dip: Carrots, celery, and bell peppers dipped in ranch dressing or hummus are loaded with vitamins and minerals, while still satisfying that need for something crunchy.

Fruit salad: A mix of seasonal fruits like strawberries, blueberries, and grapes can provide a burst of sweetness to satisfy your cravings. Loaded with antioxidants, this is a guilt-free munchie option.

Yogurt parfait: Greek yogurt topped with fresh fruit and granola is a protein-packed and delicious snack that will keep you feeling full and satisfied. The textures and flavours are sure to provide a sensory experience.

Trail mix: A mix of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits can provide a variety of flavours and textures to satisfy your cravings. This snack is also great for on-the-go munchies.

Smoothie: Blend together your favourite fruits with some coconut water or milk for a refreshing and healthy snack. Add in some protein powder or almond butter for an extra boost.

Tasty adventures await

With heightened sensory perception and taste buds that are on overdrive, snacking while high can be an incredibly enjoyable experience. It also boosts dopamine, enhancing the pleasure of eating and making even the simplest of snacks taste amazing. Wherever your cravings may lead you, try choosing healthier options that will satisfy your hunger and nourish your body. Overindulging in junk food may provide temporary satisfaction, but making mindful choices can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling high. Happy snacking!
