Irduni,Are you vegetarian? If not, boiled eggs make a great snack and the natural lecithin will help with the cholesterol--actually a lot of the natural fats in nuts and avocados are very good. Dates with a walnut stuffed inside is a good snack. Fruit smoothies in an insulated thermos or travel cup is good too -- make it with the yogurt and fruit (chilled, cooked down fruit enhances the fruit flavor -- berries, pineapple, etc.) a banana, and slip in a 1/4 of avocado or coconut oil, and maybe some orange juice. It is a lovely flavor. Mint will really liven up the taste as well.You might need a dehydrator for these, but fruit leathers and beef jerky are good too.

I'm a new member of this group. I have Crohn's and have been doing SCD for about 3 weeks. So far, I'm seeing definite improvement in my symptoms. I did have a question:

Any good ideas for quick, portable snacks? My go to snacks have been cheese, dates, apples. I tend to have high cholesterol though, so I'd like to cut back a bit on my cheese intake. I haven't introduced almond flour yet, and have also cut out peanut butter as of last week.

Thanks

My go-to snack was hard boiled eggs (they stay good at room temp for several

days), grilled chicken breasts, ripe bananas and ripe avacados. I didn't mind

eating the chicken room temp, cold, or hot so that worked really well for me

too. You're very early into the diet so be careful eating too much raw and

advanced foods; they can really impede your healing (I'm giving you this advice

from first-hand knowledge). Anything raw or dried is considered advanced so are

nuts, nut butters and nut flour goodies. 2 years into the diet, and I can hardly

eat anything nut related. I made the yummiest casserole yesterday and ate about

1/4 of it. The topping had nut flour and about an hour after I ate it, I had

symptoms (bloating mostly; I looked prego).

Good luck!!!

what kind of turkey slices do you eat? Do you make your own?

Yes, of course I make my own! I roast chickens and I roast turkeys

and then I slice them up and freeze the slices separately and put

them in the freezer in big plastic bags so I can grab what I

want. It's not deli meat by any means, regular type slices.

What kind of turkey do you buy? I can't find any that doesn't have broth added to it?
