Healthy Bariatric Snacks

We’re back today with a roundup of our favorite healthy bariatric snacks…sweet snacks!  It can be tough to find foods that work for you post-surgery, but we want you to think about all the foods you can eat instead of what you cannot.

Blue Diamond 100 Calorie Almonds (plain, dry roasted, vanilla, chocolate)

• Sweet, crunchy, satisfying and delicious? Sign us up! These portion-controlled almonds are perfect to throw into your handbag or lunch bag, don’t need refrigeration and are the perfect boost of protein and fiber.
• Having easily accessible snacks for on-the-go hunger is so important.  You never want to get so hungry that you will eat the first thing you find. Planning ahead is key, and find shelf-stable snacks are great.
• Sample them all and find the flavor you love best!
