Top 10 Munchies Hacks For Stoners

We've all been there: you're a few puffs in, feeling good, when suddenly it hits you the munchies. That insatiable hunger that makes you want to eat everything in sight. But fear not, fellow stoners! We've compiled a list of top-tier munchies hacks that will satisfy your cravings without resorting to demolishing an entire family bag of crisps, a litre of Pepsi and a sharing bar of chocolate. 

These hacks will help you elevate your snack game, balancing taste and nutrition, because let's face it, your body deserves better than just junk food when you're high.

Hack #1: The Sweet and Salty Combo

First up on our list is the classic combination of sweet and salty. This hack works wonders because it satisfies multiple cravings at once. The go-to example? Chocolate-covered pretzels. The crunch of the pretzel, the smoothness of the chocolate, the balance of sweet and salt, you just cannot beat it.

But don't stop there, let’s get creative. Try drizzling some melted chocolate over your favourite salted popcorn. Or how about some peanut butter on apple slices with a sprinkle of sea salt? The possibilities are endless…

Hack #2: Frozen Fruit For The Win

When the munchies hit, your first instinct might be to reach for something processed, but! Here's a game-changer, keep some frozen fruit on hand. Frozen grapes taste just as good as Haribo, providing a sweet, refreshing crunch that's perfect for satisfying your munchies.

Berries work great too. A mix of frozen strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries not only tastes amazing but are also good for you!

Hack #3: Upgrade Your Popcorn

Popcorn is a stoner classic for a reason it's light, crunchy, and you can eat a whole bunch without feeling too guilty. But why settle for plain old  sweet or salted when you can turn your popcorn into a gourmet experience?

Try sprinkling some curry powder blend for a more exotic taste. Feeling adventurous? Mix some cinnamon and a touch of sugar for a sweet twist. 

Experiment with your spice cabinet and find what you like!

Hack #4: The Ultimate Grilled Cheese

When you're high, few things more than a perfectly toasted, gooey grilled cheese sandwich. But we're not talking about your standard white bread and American cheese slice here. Oh no, we're taking it to the next level.

Start with some sourdough. Mix up your cheese cheddar paired with a mozzarella, then add some toppings, pepperoni, and throw some crisps in and nothing beats chilli oil. The result? The PERFECT grilled cheese.

Hack #5: Meal Prep Munchies 

For my gym lads out there, we all know weed is one of the best recovery tools, but when the munchies hit and you’re on a cut, it’s game over… but fear not I’ve got you covered 

Prep some chicken or steak bites with some low calorie sauces, you can curb your cravings and hit your macros.

Also utilise vegetables, bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, slap some hummus or guac in a bowl and you’re good to go.

Hack #6: The Stoner Charcuterie Board

If you want to impress your friends or you’re just feeling yourself, create your own stoner charcuterie board with a variety of flavours and textures. Think cheese cubes, cold cuts, crackers, nuts, fruit, crisps, popcorn, sweets, chocolate. 

The beauty of the stoner charcuterie board is that it can be fully custom to you and you can go as basic or as wild as you like.

Pro tip: Prepare your board before you light up, trust me you will thank yourself later.

Hack #7: Ice Cream Sandwich Hack

This hack is a game-changer for those with a sweet tooth. In the UK ice cream sandwiches aren’t really a thing but they should be! 

Wack some of your favourite ice cream between two cookies, it couldn’t be more simple.

If you’re feeling fancy add some fruit in, or roll the edges of your sandwich in crushed nuts or chocolate chips.

This one is going to kill those sweet cravings like nothing else.

Hack #8: Microwaveable Mug Meals

Sometimes you want a meal over a snack when the munchies hit, and that’s where mug meals come in handy. 

Try a mug pizza, YES a mug pizza… mix some flour, baking powder, milk, and oil in a mug, top with passata and cheese, then microwave for a minute and you get… well a sort of pizza. Or, just go with the classic mug brownie, quick, easy, and satisfying.

Hack #9: The Flavour Explosion

When you're high, your taste buds are heightened, making it the perfect time to experiment with weird and bold flavour combinations.

Pickles and peanut butter, balsamic strawberries, anything goes, who knows you might come up with the next food trend.

Or just try the classics like hot honey on pizza!

Hack #10: The One-Pan Wonder

When the munchies hit hard and you need something substantial, but the thought of complicated cooking and clean up is too much to handle, the one-pan wonder comes to the rescue. These quick, easy, and delicious meals require minimal effort and leave you with only one pan to clean.

Here are a few one-pan ideas to satisfy your cravings:

1. Nachos Supreme: Layer tortilla chips in a pan, top with canned beans, shredded cheese, and any veggies you have on hand. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

2. Fried Rice Revival: Throw leftover rice in a pan with some oil, add frozen veggies, an egg, and soy sauce. Fry it up for a quick and satisfying meal.

3. Pizza Pan: Spread pizza sauce on a tortilla or flatbread, add cheese and toppings, and cook in a pan until crispy on the bottom and melted on top.

4. Breakfast Skillet: Fry up some bacon, sausage, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, and bread in the same pan for a one pan breakfast.

5. Quesadilla Extravaganza: Fill a tortilla with cheese and any leftovers in your fridge (chicken, veggies, etc.), fold, and cook in a pan until crispy and melted.

The beauty of the one-pan wonder is its versatility. You can throw together whatever ingredients you have on hand, and with a little heat and creativity, you've got a satisfying meal that hits all the right spots when you're high.
