Hello, I'm Samantha. I'm an astronaut and welcome to Node 1, the place on the International Space Station where we have our meals together and it is also the place where we can come in mid—afternoon or mid—morning for a quick snack. I'd like to sow you some ideas of healthy snacks that we have on the International Space Station.
For example, we have a lot of fruit on the International Space Station. However, most of the time it's not fresh fruit. Sometimes we have fruit which needs to be rehydrated (补充水分)，like these strawberries and the bag of dried apples. The dried apples are the things that I like to eat most on the International Space Station. Nuts (坚果) are also great food for a healthy snack. We often have lots of nuts on the International Space Station.
I also have the very special power food which was made for me by chef Stefano Polato and it has a lot of very healthy and nutritious ingredients (营养成分) and a special ingredient called spirulina(螺旋藻). Chef Stefano Polato will also show us how to make it at home! So, snack time is a great chance to put the right food in your body.
