Just wondering what your favorite snacks are!
Healthy or unhealthy.

I'm finding it hard to find healthier, non bread, options for snacks with morning sickness.

What works/ has worked for you gals?

    Doc wants me to avoid carbs - which is hard - im Italian!

    Eating raw veggies and fresh fruits throughout the day. Had fresh cherries and grapes throughout yesterday. It helped keep my energy up which has also been a problem.

    FYI: Just found out that almond milk only has 1 gram of protein. I was drinking it all along thinking it had the same amount as soy milk. It's good if you are looking for low calories, but my OB wants to me to get in as much protein as possible.

    my favorite snack when i feel sick is those cheese crackers with peanut butter in them. But that is not helpful since you are looking for non-carb things. Bananas really seem to ease my stomach as well. Lately i've been into have a few almonds, some grapes, and babybell cheese. They make a nice combo.

    For me, it's been fruit, fruit, fruit! This baby is in love with fruit and hates chocolate, so I've been keeping lots of fresh fruit in the house. My stock it getting low right now--all I have at the moment is a half-full bag of Fuji apples and a honeydew melon! I could really go for some berries. I love having my fruit with vanilla Greek yogurt.

    I've also really enjoyed my veggies. If I want something cold (which I usually do), I'll make a salad with some raspberry vinagrette; if I'm all right with something warm, I'll warm up a pack of steamed frozen vegetables. I haven't been into anything too sweet (with fruit, I go for sweet and tangy, so no bananas or super-sweet fruits here), so any veggie that I can't eat without sugar has been a no-go. That doesn't include much; mainly acorn squash and sweet potatoes (although salted sweet potato fries are amazing!).
