Favorite snacks
Hi all,
I know a lot of people limit their snacking because of the annoyance of cleaning teeth afterwards, but I snack a lot since I can't eat full-sized meals (TMJ pain). I'm looking for some new ideas!
What are your favorite...
-healthy snacks?
-soft snacks?
-creative snacks?
-smoothie recipes?
I have a cupboard at home and at work with all kinds of things, but I'm looking to breathe some new life into my snacks after 8 months of eating the same things over and over again!

As for soft snacks, I love yogurt, my favorite flavors include vanilla, stawberry, banana, blueberry, and peach. However, I am not a big fan of the fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt, I prefer it pre-stirred. I also love pudding of every flavor, even tapioca pudding is good (though I suppose the tapiocas might get stuck in your braces, I don't have my braces yet so I wouldn't know about that!)

I was feeling daring just now, so I ate caramel corn for the first time since getting braces. I followed with hot tea, and I have no pieces or caramel globs in my teeth!!
I feel so good, yet so bad
My favorite quick (read: running out the door for work) smoothie recipe is a single serving High Protein Boost shake thrown in the blender, add half a banana, mixed fruit, and cold coffee syrup (french vanilla). It takes literally 3 minutes to make it & wash the blender. This satisfies my need for fruit and caffeine, has a significant amount of protein, and keeps me full for about 4+ hours.
One of my favorite fruit snacks lately has been a whole apple, diced and put into a ziploc bag with cinnamon. I shake it up to coat the pieces, and then I eat my little snack with a toothpick right out of the baggie

snacks
I have had a problem snacking with my expander. I usually drink hot apple cider or hot chocolate.
Just about every type of candy is on my no-no list or it gets stuck.
I also try to eat real type foods at meal times and use smoothies and protein shake for snacks.

My fav new smoothie recipe:
1 Cup milk
1 Banana
1 TBSP peanutbutter
2 Tbsp fat free/sugar free Jello pudding (I like choc. fudge)
The pudding thickens it after a couple of minutes and helps it stick with you for a while.

I try not to snack unless my stomach is really growling like right now. And your right, i dont do it because i have to stop what im doing and go to the bathroom in the next building to brush my teeth. Sometimes i eat salt and vinegar chips or pop tarts or something closely related. Or sometimes i'll grab a fruit cup.

If you're coping with dried fruit, you're doing fine.Elyse84 wrote:I haven't got braces, but I've had spacers on since Tuesday and have been living off fruit like grapes and cut peaches, yoghurt, and dried fruit.
Now did I hear someone mention cheese? Add those Greek/Lebanese type cheese triangles to the list if they're not there already.
