Work-Friendly Snacks?

hello all!

I am a teacher and will be going back to work tomorrow. However, this will be my first time working while gluten-free (and being treated for thyroid and adrenal problems). I need to eat something every 2-3 hours and would like to keep easy stuff in my desk to snack on (easy enough that I can snack in the 2 minutes between classes (for example, an orange would not be good).

Can anyone suggest any pre-packaged food that would be good for this? Or anything that is EASY to make, that could be made the weekend prior? I am having a hard time planning all of this out.

Any ideas would be SOOO appreciated!!!

Do you have any other restrictions beside gluten? And is your school a nut free zone?

Nuts are good snack unless you have nut-allergic kids in class obviously.

Lara Bars are good (also have nuts though)

Enjoy Life bars (free of all 8 allergens if you need it)

gluten-free pretzels

Dried fruit (raisins, apricots, craisins, banana chips, apple chips, etc)

Lays Stax

Popcorn

corn chips

jerky

Keep a little lunch bag with an ice pack and you can keep some things that need to be kept somewhat cold like:

Baby Carrots or other raw veggies and hummus

celery with cream cheese or peanut butter

presliced apples just put lemon juice on it to keep them from going bad) and caramel

pudding cups

jello

cheese cubes

hard boiled egg

lunch meat

Ha, I am not sure yet about my other restrictions... still working on that one. But at this point I am trying to stay away from eggs, soy, and possibly meat. Also sugar (or at least lots of it, or refined sugar).

My school is not a nut-free zone, but I will possibly have students with nut allergies and will have to look into that first.

Thanks for the ideas!!

I keep bags of almonds in my drawer, and cheese and meat products in my backpack.

The KIND bars are really good and healthy. You can find them at Amazon. Greek yogurt is one of my favorites too.

Just be sure to check the labels. Last I checked Hormel brand pepperoni is gluten-free and Old Wisconsin beef sticks are gluten-free (both say gluten-free on the packages).

This is copied and pasted from my blog, and the formatting lost the links and went weird, but there are a few new ideas:

Nonperishable:

1. Nuts

2. Dried fruit or fruit bars

3. Whole grain crackers or brown rice cakes

4. Hot or cold whole grain cereal, like oatmeal

5. Packets of dried or canned fish (sardines, anyone?)

6. Popcorn, the plainer the better

7. Spoonful of peanut butter

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
