Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Dehydrated fruits or veggies, nuts and seeds are healthy, convenient snacks. Glutino pretzel sticks and hummus is an awesome snack if you like hummus! Recently I had some multigrain crackers which where really addictive. I think the brand is Toastmasters. There where a couple varieties and I recall dairy being in at least one of them, so double check ingredients! I had the original flavor which was safe. Can't think of anything else at the moment. Good luck! :-) On Sun, Nov 29, 2009 at 11:12 PM, Aissa <aissaboduch wrote: > > > hi everyone > > i'm about 20 weeks pregnant and i'm dying for some snacks that i can munch > on around the house and grab and take with me for when i'm on the > road/running errands/etc.. > > any ideas? i'm also trying to stay away from sugar.. at least refined > sugar... > > thanks!! > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I am about 12 weeks and nursing so I have been insatiable lately. I make sure to pack a few larabars in my purse, a banana and a couple of apples. I was carrying around some homemade trail mix as well - peanuts, dried fruit, some seeds, etc, but I decided the larabars were more convenient. I also like raw revolution bars - really great for a sweet craving but no refined sugar in them and dates have been helping me a little with morning sickness so maybe that is why I am drawn to both these bars?

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I also use Larabars when I'm on the go and want a non-sugar-sweetened snack.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Just in case anyone is like I am - the more fruit I have, particularly high-fructose fruit like apples - the hungrier and more hypoglycemic I get. If you find that you just keep getting hungrier and hungrier, you might want to try nuts, vegetables, and low-fructose fruits and see if it helps.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Congratulations! I made myself homemade crackers by searching around the web for recipes. I stuffed dates with almonds. I kept almonds in my pocket when I was away from home. I ate apple slices by the bag full. I made dips and dipped carrots. I especially loved to dip carrots in hummus.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Your comment reminded me Pam that when I eat apple slices now I spread them with almond butter and then dip in chia seeds. That seems to keep the blood sugar from fluctuating. Chia stablizes blood sugar and really bulks up to create fiber which makes you feel full. Not the most convenient thing for a travel snack but at home it would work.  They seem expensive, but they last awhile. I gave half of my under-a-pound container to my sister two months ago, and I've still got plenty left.  Here's a brief summary of the benefits of chia!  http://whatscookingamerica.net/CharlotteBradley/Chai-Seeds.htm  Linda --- On Mon, 11/30/09, pdw <pdworkman wrote: pdw <pdworkman Re: Re: snacks for a preggo?
