What're your favorite relatively healthy snacks from the big grocery stores like Walmart or Carrefour? Like maybe low in msg or sugar. Or especially no partially hydrogenated fats.
I liked the spicy roasted peanuts. They might have had a bit of msg, but not too much. Also the kit kat copy cookies. Didn't remember that it had partially hydrogenated stuff in it.
Also how much or how difficult is it to get greek style yogurt at a fair price? By that I mean the ones with good fat content, lots of protein, and somewhat low in sugar. I'm tempted to make my yogurt (via sous vide) when I get there since I may be there over 2 months.
I notice eating out in Kunming is almost as expensive as in the US.
The cost of living in Kunming is expensive, some things more expensive than even Shanghai. Eating out, like for like is and example.
Greek yogurt is expensive, as is cottage cheese, in comparison with EU and especially the US; where dairy is cheaper.
You can make your own Greek yogurt, I have, an flavor it with jam if you want that style of fruit flavor. There is a recent thread on making yogurt on here if you search.
My favorite snack, which is seasonal, is the candied whole kumquats.
see forum on yoghurt & ask there, not sure many people would think of it as a snack.

I like those red dates or big dates from Xinjiang. Not sure about the health index, but they have a lot of fiber.
Last time I found some dried seaweed, a bit salty but quite tasty.
I eat a lot of other snacks too, but I guess they are kinda unhealthy?
Like dried fruit, mango, orange skin (a lot of sugar). Dried spicy beef (yeah, even those vacuum wrapped in small bags).
Most or all of what Mr. woggle mentions do not require a trip to Carrefour or Walmart.
Yeah, you can just go to the local market, local supermarket, street vendors or buy it on taobao. Not sure if I know any snacks that are Walmart-exclusive haha
The only snacks I get in Carrefour which I don't see elsewhere are their fruit and nut chocolate bars and a pack of Haribo.
Yep, now you know why my health ain't top notch lol.
Mind you I do get a lot of tinned Tuna which I use to make several easy eat stuff like salads, pastas etc.
