Looking for quick snack ideas without added sugar. Something I can have with me on the go. Thanks!

DietID_TeamDietitians My favorite no added sugar to-go snacks: larabars, mary’s Seed crackers with hummus, grapes, mixed nuts, and for a treat - almond butter-stuffed dates (2 of them will fill you up).

annefood I always keep an apple in my bag. Brown rice cakes with nut butter are great too, for protein, as are those crispy baked chickpea snacks you can either make or buy in a pouch. Carrot sticks are...
Is bread a NO on this challenge?! I just realized some fresh baked breads probably have sugar??? Help! Tips on which to avoid? Or avoid all?

DietID_TeamDietitians Great question!! Some breads are definitely allowed, but most actually have some added sugar. It's best to check the ingredient label to be sure. Some favorites we love: Ezekiel sprouted grain...

joywang Hi there! I wanted to give a heads up if you ever check the label and it still says for example, 1g sugar even though there's no added sugar in the ingredients, that can be due to the natural...
Does anyone snack on squash and sweet potatoes? What’s a good way to prepare those for snacking or meals on the go?
I need new recipes.
Does anyone have any good healthy semi cheap recipes? I've dropped a lot of weight from being sick but would like to lose more the healthiest way possible.

DietID_TeamDietitians I love baked salmon with stir fried veggies. I like using frozen chopped veggies because they are cheap and quick. Just thaw and cook with garlic, ginger, chili, and soy sauce. You can marinate the...

asoffer2 Do you have food restrictions? I love making fish tacos with corn tortillas but you could substitute lettuce instead. Slaw is really easy to make with lime, cilantro, rice wine or cider vinegar...

NicoleDanielle @Rachna That sounds amazing. Thanks!! @asoffer2 I would prefer low carb due to my PCOS. 🙂

Does matcha count?
I was wondering if matcha power counted as a fruit/vegetable since the powder is litterally ground up tea leaf. You don't just infuse it, you eat the fibers too. Does my matcha latte count as a por...

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Great question @anniemegusta! Unfortunately matcha does not count as a fruit or vegetable for this challenge even though it can be added to baked goods or smoothies. Try to incorporate more whole...

If I want to bake something sweet in less calories, what can I do? For example, replacing milk with water etc.
I've already tried replacing milk with water, eggs with that Semper's No-Egg-thing, and sugar with less sugar or sweetener.

darkchocolatepeanutbutter Most baked goods are calorically-dense even if they are made without animal products so it's good to eat an appropriate portion. You can use substitutes for regular milk like soy milk or coconut...
