Snack Ideas

[HealthyLifeStyle 351]

Hello I am looking for some different snack ideas? I have pretty much been eating the same things. I am 9 months out so I can eat pretty much anything. I used to eat apples with PB or AB but now the apples are bothering my belly. I eat cukes with cottage cheese, and a lot of raw almonds and walnuts. I don't do hummus as that bothers me also. Just hoping to see what you guys are suggesting. Thanks

I eat much of the same thing most days of the week. Morning snack is a serving of roasted pumpkin seeds, afternoon is Dannon Light-n-Fit yogurt.

pumpkin seeds are so good! I just started adding them to my salads too!

costco sells big bags of organic roasted & salted pumpkin seeds. They are delish!

Indont like pre salted nuts/seeds. They tend to over salt them.
Our grocery store has bins of so many items that you can buy by the pound. I get the plain ones. They are good and I use them on a salad so unsalted is better for that for me. If they weren’t over salted I’d eat them straight up!

My blood pressure now tends to run low so it’s a salt free for all for me :)

Try some other fruit. Watermelon, rock melon, paw paw, grapes, berries, mandarins, ... I’m eating lots of grapes & red paw paw at the moment (sometimes finely diced the paw paw into my daily yoghurt & have as a ‘dessert’). Maybe tread slowly with high acid fruits like oranges & pineapple. I struggle with mangoes but I’ve found some freeze dried ones - yummy & great for work or travelling. I added some whole/multi grain crackers as a snack & have some string cheese if I want a little something else. I have three or four Snacks a day but one is always fruit, one a good carb & one a dairy. The 4th is the string cheese or a Protein Bar depending upon if I hit my Protein goal.

It’s the one benefit of lower BP - extra salt. Mmmm good.

What about string cheese or other cheeses? fruit (frozen berries are great year round) and Greek Yogurt? Other veggies like red/orange/yellow bell peppers cut in slices with tzatziki or just plain? Roasted veggies? There's a crunchy snack called "bada bean" something or other which is flavored roasted Broad Beans I've just discovered that I'm really into; they're high in Protein and Fiber. Roasted chickpeas (although if hummus doesn't work, those might not either)? Pork rinds? Protein chips? Cherry tomatoes?

I eat strawberries and blackberries, can't do yogurt or dairy too much. I try to eat something that has protein and is healthy.
