My ds has to have several extra snacks during the school day as he can't maintain his weight and struggles to control his emotions when he is hungry.
I am running short of ideas of things to make for him. He has to have roughly 4 extra snacks a day.
They all need to go in a tub or similar to be taken to school.
He can't eat a lot in one go so they can't be too big but need to contain as many calories as possible but also to be relatively healthy.
Currently I give him a selection of the following:
flapjacks
oatmeal and banana muffins
(both of them low sugar recipes)
cheese and crackers
bananas
breadsticks and various dips
carrot sticks and various dips
half a sandwich
cheesestrings
brioche
pancakes
soreen loaf
shop bought dairylea dippers
It has also been suggested that I give:
crumpets and peanut butter
carrotsticks and nut butter eg almond butter
cheese scones
frittatta,chilled
oatcakes and mashed avocado
avocado, and tomato sarny
homemade sugar free muffins
smoothies with ground almonds/full fat dairy/ground seeds added
nut milks
pitta or english muffin mini pizzas
cheese straws
savoury muffin
I should also point out that he is a vegetarian and won't eat meat or fish.
I would very much appreciate any other ideas inventive mumsnetters have.
