My gymnast is always hungry. We always used to suggest fruit whenever she was hungry. However, due to food intolerances and allergies, on the advice of our doctor, we are now limiting her to one piece of fruit every two hours.
There's heaps of things she can't eat, such as all dairy (including sheep's and goat's dairy), pulses and wheat (though she is not coeliac, so gluten is ok). She CAN eat nut products, however these are banned at school and at the gym, so not able to be snacked upon in those places.
I need some ideas for good healthy foods for her to snack on. I want to be instilling healthy eating practices in her. Home-popped popcorn with minimal salt and no butter is one we do use. But I don't want her snacking on sugary biscuits and cakes and things like that. And things like rice crackers and rice cakes just don't really do anything to stop hunger.
Please, can anyone suggest savoury snack ideas? I'm happy to bake. I don't want pre-packaged brand name ideas partially because I would rather she eats real food, and partially because I'm in a country where we may not have the same products available as you. Ideas from non-western cuisines are also appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
