Low salt dry snacks for gestational hypertension

Hi All!

In need of some snack ideas. Due to the likelihood of being readmitted, I'm preparing a hospital bag of essentials to leave in car as we live the other side of the city to the hospital, so it saves my husband from driving an extra couple of hours if i am. (I have to go to a lot of appointments!)

The food at the hospital is not tailored well to a non normal diet and last time I was told it was eat what they have or don't eat. I don't eat fish or dairy and rarely eat meat. Whilst vegan options are available, they have to be ordered and if no one comes to you with a menu, they won't order it later. My lunch was essentially dry bread that I'd had to remove the cheese from. It was that or nothing.

So I'm looking for dried snacks I can keep in the bag so I have something to eat until husband can bring something in at visiting times. The only catch is they must have little or no salt due to my BP bring crazy high. I can't have nuts, so struggling to find anything.

Help!

Thanks!
