I Need Snack Ideas.

[frenchiemama]

I have a very full schedule at school this semester which really doesn't leave me any time to eat. I need ideas for snacks that are:

-very portable

-non-messy

-nutritious

-FILLING

-no heating required

I swear, I could eat a pound of carrot sticks and still be hungry. I need something that will stick with me for a little while. Any good ideas?

Nuts...homemade trail mix with the things you like in it. We like the candied pineapples and cashews and yogurt raisins and ener g pretzels.

Chebe bread balls. They stay fine for awhile in a baggie. If you have a freezie pack you can add cream cheese to them or peanut butter.

Kinnikinnick bagel with peanut butter. Then you don't even have to toast it first. Just make it in the morning and it will be good and defrosted by the time you want to eat it.

...anything with peanut butter is great.

I understand about the carrot sticks. I never can get full eating raw veggies!

I'm addicted to Seneca Granny Smith Apple Chips right now - they're like potato chips, but not. They're actually not even much healthier than potato chips, but I trick myself into believing that if it's from an apple it has to be a little bit healthy, right?! They also have sweet potato chips that I have in my desk at work, but haven't tried yet.

I really recommend peanut butter for snacks tho b/c all the protein helps keep you full longer than carb-heavy foods do. You can carry a little tupperware dish of the peanut butter and have gluten-free crackers, celery, fruit, etc to eat it with.

There are lots of gluten free protein bars that are portable - though they can be expensive. Here's a link to a discussion about protein bars. I've seen other discussions on this topic here as well; you may want to do a search.

How about Hummus and tortilla chips? You wouldn't need to refrigerate the hummus and it is very filling.
