It's not too late to respond to yesterday's topic - or to share even more tips!
We are dairy, gluten, and egg free...
I was eating oatmeal cookies (1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg (I used flax) one package instant oatmeal- bake at 350 for about 10 min) but they made my oal worse, lol!
My favorite snacks are fresh fruits and veggies. I LOVE fresh crunchy veggies like bell peppers or sweet peppers and ranch dressing.
I also like to snack on california rolls...the seaweed can help raise supply.
Dry seaweed is a GREAT snack too
My Husband got me an amazing machine called a Blendtec blender. I grab whatever fruit and veggies we have laying around and a few cups of frozen berries throw the lid on and press a button in less than 3 minutes I have whole fruit juice/smoothies that can double as a meal. A wonderful treat for me while I'm trying to get everything else done and completely guilt free as it's so much cheaper than the ones from the mall their smalls are $5 a pop and have sugaer, mine are just fruit and veggies, at most some water/ice/ or a splash of juice.
