Something crunchy

[LindsayT 596]

I'm craving something crunchy. I'm not allowed raw vegetables yet. What are some good alternative options?

I eat Ritz crackers for a crunch. Even on my pureed diet - you can chew them down to mush ~~~ !

Crackers with Protein, dried chickpeas and Beans, nuts, pumpkin or other seeds. Air fry thinly sliced veg like carrot, sweet potato, zuchinni, beets to make homemade healthy chips. I plan to do that at some stage and eat with dips like hummus, tzatziki and salsa. Cucumber if allowed?

I've never had roasted chickpeas. Recommendations on brand or flavor

I can't help there being on the other side of the world lol. I'm sure there all good. They're really yum Lindsay! Roasted Broad Beans are good too, they have a slightly nutty taste.

I guess I have some homework.

Cucumber wedges. Sprinkle with a little salt. Yum. The high Water content should make cucumber easy to eat & digest. Worth a try anyway. If you can’t have raw vegetables yet, which is so you don’t strain or overtax your digestion, roasted chick peas & fava Beans, & vegetable chips may be off the table too (too dry & coarse) but check with your dietician to be sure & for suggestions. You never know. I was told my vegetables had to be soft & well cooked (almost mushy) to begin.

I am obsessed with Moon Cheese, its just baked cheese, has Protein, and its so good.

So I bought roasted chickpeas and roasted edamame. I tolerated them both really well. They are nice because they chew to a very small consistency. My only complaint is that it makes me thirsty because they are so dry. They satisfy the crunch craving, and I get Protein and Fiber, so win. Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep them coming if anyone has other ideas.

That's great Lindsay! I love edamame but have never had toasted ones. I have 4 tins of depodded ones, will have to air fry some.
