Am soon to fly out to US and tad worried about food on flights. Got a 9 hour one followed by a 5ho ur one.

What gluten free and low carb snacks / treats would you take on board?
 
9bars are gluten free, around 10g carb depending on which variety you choose and portBle as well as satisfying Also Babybel cheese, they withstand a lot of travelling .

I have been known to break up poppadums in to crisp sized pieces, but do check that they are gluten free - some aren't. Mine are from Aldi so quite cheap !

Signy
 
nuts? I like a variety of salted and non, also tesco skips are 8g a pack which I like
 
Make your own coconut macaroons.

Go and buy gluten and carb free stuff from the Low Carb store on line.

Pork Scratchings.

I do this and love them .
Using a thin vegetable peeler to slice them up easily .

Place them on a baking tray and gently bake in the oven .
Sorted! Very easy to pack these too - in a Tupperware box .
Nibble when needed - on the plane ?
 
Anna, do you add oil or anything to bake and at what temp?

thanks everyone, helpful ideas to give me food for thought....
 
freash chicken is also gluten free. Lots of interesting options with chicken
 
Are the food suggestions so far actually allowed on flights?
 
Anything that is packed pressurized can should be allowed I guess
 
I will Def check re chicken/ bacon as altho good for snacks assume they ok to eat before landing...always good to check!

@pms543
Add in a knob of good quality butter .
Temp = I use 180 electric fan oven (range master)
 
If you eat meat you could take individual wrapped pepparami things - OK if eaten or disposed of before reaching US customs.

I take nuts, pumpkin seed and mini cheese, which I try to eat before I reach US, and homemade coconut and almond biscotti these keep well in a ziplock bag and are tasty low carb etc
 
and Olives - my favourite I buy the small sachets of Olives that don't need chilling and don't have excess liquid in them. Usually only take 2 packs on a flight as need to eat them before entering US and we typically do direct flights.


Will be watching this post for new ideas for August
