Suggestions for Snacks when out and about

[Alison louise]

My son is very into footie and we spend a lot of time at matches or at the park. I often get peckish. What can I take with me. Use to be choc bars and crisps! X

Nuts - Almonds are especialy nice - but any mix would do (try to avoid the ones with dried fruit though) sunflower or pumpkin seeds too

I've never been a big fan of almonds.. I might just try some.
I love Cashews but learned recently that of all the nuts, they are the carby ones.

Walnuts?

For an alternative to all our nut suggestions, I've seen people suggesting Baby Bel cheese or small pepperoni sticks as good "portable" snacks.

I get mine by the box from Amazon. I keep them in the freezer because they last longer!

But Boots and Asda sell them too.

sainsburys and tesco sell them too, they are always next to the medicines and slim fast shakes

Quavers or Skips?

All under 10g of carbs per multi-pack bag.

5 large Cheddars = 9.5g carbs?

when we are going out in the car and the petrol station is likely to be the only option, i cut cheddar into little cubes, wrap them in foil and munch on them when im peckish

Oh, and Kinder Eggs are 10g carbs too so a nice choccie treat.

Maybe not the right sugary carb / starchy carb balance but a lifesaver for a 6 year old who likes chocolate!
