Hi, everyone! I'm 6 weeks out and finishing up the soft food stage. I should be on to regular foods later this week. My typical snack is either a string cheese or yogurt w/ a little Protein powder in it (I'm still working on acquiring a taste for greek yogurt) or a pudding cup. This is getting boring and I don't want to be in a rut.

I would appreciate any snack ideas that you may have, both portable and non-portable. I have texture issues, so cottage cheese and ricotta cheese are not good snack ideas for me. I figure my snack options will open up more once I can eat raw veggies, but I understand that won't be for a while yet, right?

Thanks for your help!

Maybe try some other types of cheeses they have chedder and colby in the packages like string cheese, And you can try an apple sauce cup. Personally I dont like greek yogurt (do they say it has to be greek )so when i can finally eat something else I would like a different yogurt so maybe try switching up the kind of yogurt. I dunno how you feel about this but different brands on cottage cheese taste different although I dont mind breakstones I GREaTLY enjoy axelrods . And i particularly dont like it but you can get fruit flavored I know many people who like it. Just a suggestion because I know you said you dont like the texture, Another thing is what about frozen yogurt is that allowed hmmm sorrry im not at that stage just things I may try, Even baby food Desserts no one has to know lol i have a 7 month old so I am very familiar w baby food but if you just put those bananas into another tupperware if your in public no one will ever know!!!! its super yummmmmy and not high in calories and it already portioned...and there are tonsssssss to choose from even pumpkin and cinnamon or vanilla custard, is there a reason people are mentioning fruits much ....like a super ripe banana is mushy ? are you not allowed that?

Thanks for the suggestions. I already eat yogurt (danon), but it doesn't have much protein, so I'm usually adding some protein powder to it. Plus, I'm trying to find some other snacks that are more portable and I can carry w/ me w/o worrying that it will melt or get warm. Thanks!

Try beef or turkey jerky or pepperoni sticks. I keep a small stash in my bag just in case.

Beef Jerky

Almonds

Bites size pieces of protein bar

vita top muffins (very rare; once in a while)

peanut butter balls w/ protein

I just found those Peanut Butter balls w/ Protein after someone directed me to these parmesan cheese crisps. Made some up just before I saw your post. Looking forward to trying it later tonight.

Never had pepperoni sticks before. Not a fan of jerky, but I'll have to see about those other ones. Are they real salty?

I haven't gotten the ok for nuts yet, but hopefully I will by the end of the week. That could make things a little easier.

My go to sanck....Pre sliced turkey pepperoni (in the case with the the lunch meats) laid out on a paper towel, microwave for a minute and a half (depending on the power of your oven) and enjoy. Crispy and spicy like potato chps and very high in protein while low in fat. Even less fat than what the the package shows because in the cooking process much of the fat is absorbed by the paper towel. Enjoy.
