I have a drawer at work where I keep easy-to-grab snacks so that when I don't have time to run to the lunch room, I have something quick to grab. I tend toward hypoglycemia, so I can't always wait until lunchtime to eat.
Now that I'm on MWL, I am having trouble finding compliant foods to put in there. I did buy some no-oil breakfast bars and fruit snacks just to be safe, but I don't plan to eat them unless it's a blood sugar emergency. Fortunately, my co-workers know they're welcome to what's in my snack drawer, so eventually, they'll eat them.
Crackers and chips and rice cakes are out. Nuts and dried fruits are out. I've searched this forum to see if anyone else has asked this question, so please forgive me if it's a repeat, but does anyone have any suggestions? I was going to buy those little tubs of pre-cooked whole grains, but I saw that they add a little oil, so that would be a last resort. Cans of soup are an option, because I can eat at my desk, but I'd prefer something less messy. I do have a couple cans of beets in the drawer, but again, not easy to just grab. The McDougall soup cups I saw at my grocery store aren't MWL-friendly because they have noodles.
Any ideas for me?
