I love to snack. Sure a great meal is a wonderful and joyous thing to savor, but a snack can be a moment of self indulgent ecstasy. Well, if I had anything good to snack on anything besides a cracker. Snacking with IC is much harder than snacking before IC. Before IC, I would snack on all manner of things sweet and salty. I could eat chocolate, which opened up my world to such delights as the chocolate covered pretzel. When I wanted to be healthier I could eat mango with dried salsa or a small salad with chipotle dressing. A snack was any food that didn't involve actually cooking beyond toasting a tortilla with butter on the stove.
These days I find snacking with IC to be a serious challenge. I have recently started to put on a little weight, not much but enough so that a few dresses and jeans don't fit any longer. So I want to snack healthier. My snacks have been cookies, graham crackers, ice cream, and toast or tortilla. None of these are very healthy. So starting today I am changing things around. My new snacks are going to be, apples, bananas, almonds, cheese, celery, and graham crackers. Hopefully the apples won't aggravate my IC. Wish me luck people and if you know of any good IC friendly snacks please post them here.
