Snacks for a child with braces - ideas please!

My 11 year old has had fixed braces fitted today. He has been advised to eat no sugary snacks between meals (also no crunchy, sticky or chewy food). Just wondered if anyone has any great snack ideas that wouldn't damage the braces?

My wonderful banana loaf - my dd1 had braces and it is a pain with food.

This banana loaf is very moist and easy to make

Gas 4 and grease loaf tin 22 by 11 by 7 cm

Beat 4 oz butter with 4 oz brown sugar until creamy ( or put in food proccesor) then add 1 egg and continue to beat until smooth. Add 450g of mashed banana ( or slice into food proccer) and then beat, add 1 tsp vanilla ess and 3 tbsp of natural yogurt (any flavour or type will work, I have used greek, strawberry etc and all has worked well)

seperate bowl, sift 8 oz flour 1 tsp bicarb of soda, 1 tsp cinnamon and pinch salt together, then beat gradually into banana mixture and mix in 4 oz sultanas gently pour into tin. bake in oven for one hour and twenty mins.

I buy tin liners so the loaf stayes in that or if making for packed lunches - I sclice when cooled and then freeze so that one can be taken out each eve for the next days pack up.
