FAT-SCRAP APRIL 2010 DAY TWENTY THREE

Hi and welcome back!

Last month I included some ideas for snacks and thought it might help if I included them again.

Here are some snack suggestions for lower starchy carbohydrate snacks (good for days when less activity)

For more active days, and especially before and after training sessions include a portion of starchy carbohydrates (e.g oat cakes, rice cakes, ryvita, small wholegrain roll -if you have reintroduced wheat -) with your snack.

Piece of fruit and small handful of nuts
e.g banana and brazil nuts
apple and walnuts
pear and almonds

Piece of fruit and small amount of cheese (if you have reintroduced dairy)
e.g blueberries and goats cheese
apple and cheddar
pear and brie
pineapple and cottage cheese

Fruit and natural yoghurt
e.g mixed berries and yoghurt
banana and yoghurt
mango and yoghurt

Vegetable sticks and houmous
e.g red pepper and houmous
cauliflower and houmous
carrot and houmous
beetroot and houmous

Vegetable sticks and salsa
e.g yellow pepper and salsa
celery and salsa
baby corn and salsa
mange tout and salsa

Vegetable sticks and small amount of cheese (if you have reintroduced dairy)
e.g tomato and cheddar
beetroot and goats cheese
celery and cottage cheese

Vegetable sticks and nut butter
e.g celery and peanut butter
carrot and almond butter
cucumber and cashew nut butter

Spanish omelette/fritata

Mixed bean salad

2 or 3 falafel

Vegetables and cheese/fish/cold meat (prereably not ready cooked from supermarket)
e.g. cold roasted Mediterranean vegetables with small piece of chicken
cold roasted Mediterranean vegetables with tuna
cold roasted butternut squash with goats cheese
cold mediterranean roasted vegetables with houmous

Soup
e.g Vegetable and chicken
spicy butternut squash and cashew nut

broccoli and stilton

half avocado and prawns

Fruit or vegetables with small handful of seeds

Vegetable sticks ideas (all raw)

cucumber
broccoli
mange tout
sugar snaps
baby corn
cauliflower
mushroom
beetroot (cooked)

Roasted root vegetables
butternut squash
sweet potato
carrots
onions
parsnips
swede
celeriac

Roasted Mediterranean vegetables
courgette
aubergine
onion
garlic
tomatoes
peppers

Jayne added her favourites:
Roasted wedges of butternut squash with some garlic and chilli, this hot or cold makes a great snack, serve it with a piece of feta and shredded sage

Cherry tomatoes, and combine a handful of those with anything protein

Roasted parsnips can be satisfying if you want something sweet
....can you think of any others?
