I am getting ready to go back to work, and want to start planning on snack ideas to take with me.

i will be 5 weeks post op when I return to work, so would appreciate any and all snack ideas other than my protein drinks - don't get me wrong, I love the different premier protein and muscle milk flavors.... but just want something different. I would love to hear ALL snacks, not just recent post op ones. Ideally these are just snacks, but if they are a little bigger that's fine too, as I can consolidate them to make it 1 or 2 snacks

Ive ordered small containers to hold snacks to get ready

some suggestions I've read are tuna in the foil packs, hummus, almonds, Greek yogurt, edamame.....

I made parmesan chips!! Fresh shredded on patchment paper , little piles about 1 tbls bake on 375 for 7-10 min let cool and u got cheese chips !!

Great with tuna

Ooh those sound great! Thank you

2 low fat baby bell cheeses, hummus and 5 whole wheat pretzel sticks, 1/2banana and peanut butter, yogurt low fat with fresh berries, slice low fat cheese with 3 low fat tricuits, 1/4 cup of low fat cottage cheese. Just some suggestions I am allowed from my Dr.

All good suggestions here. String cheese, too.

Pure protein bars
Kind protein bars
cheese slices
peanuts
beef jerky
apple slices
Goldfish crackers

Wow. These are all great- I just overlooked them. String cheese and baby bell are already packaged- jerkey is too. Protein bars- goldfish.

For pre-op and post op I was in the shake/ ready to drink protein/purée/soft food mindset -never put much thought into snacks.

i really appreciate everyone's input here

i also take low fat meats and wrap them with some provolone. Like a ham or roast beef or turckey rollup. one of those keeps me good for a couple hours.

Quiche!

Refried beans and cheese in small 1/2 cup Tupperware, Greek yogurt with ground flaxseed

Is whole grain cream of wheat ok ???

I do Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, sandwich meat wrapped in cheese, I make these egg soufflés one egg spinach and cheese, hummus snack boxes, cashews, edamame and my protein

H and I found these clusters of cranberries, quinoa and almond I bite curves my hunger...

I love quiche! Not a bad idea. Just a little would be all that i need

I make them in muffin tins and sometimes make a bacon crust. So good and tons of flavor combinations.
