Desperately need some inspiration - gluten free lunches/snacks with no artificial additives!

Help! Pregnant again, and even some types of yoghurt make me feel sick. I'm SO hungry! So far I have:
Rice cakes/corn cakes instead of bread with: peanut butter/cheese
All fruit and veg to go with them
Organic milk and rice puffs for breakfast

Dinner is easy, but the rest of it....? I thought of taking cold gf pasta salad for lunch. Has anyone got any other ideas? I'm a snacking person so have spent the last few days very hungry!

Frittata?
Get gluten free flour and make little scotch pancakes, they keep well and you can out anything on top
Gluten free apple as above with the flour, just make a sponge basically and drop chunks of apple into it.
Have a box of carrot, cucumber sticks, cauliflower florets and hummus handy?

Could you take soup to work? I have soup every day for lunch with gluten free crackers topped with Tuna/mackerel/prawns, whatever I have in really.

Snack wise I eat a lot of dried fruit! These are pretty filling too - mash a very ripe banana, mix with 85g gluten free oats. Then add an extra 40g of something else, could be choc chips, nuts, I tend to use cranberries and dates but you will need to chop whatever you have into small pieces. A little bit of everything is actually v nice too and my kids will,eat these as long as the choc chips are present! Scoop the mixture out with your hand and shape into 3 or 4 flattish balls and bake in the oven at 180 for 15 mins. It took me a while to get the quantities right as it depends on the size of the banana, they can be a bit gloppy if you don't add enough oats.

Hope you like them, they keep me healthy in my v boring gluten free world!

Or instead of pasta, cold rice? Can you heat food up? My DP takes leftovers of last nights dinner for lunch, chilli and rice today.

You could have a stew or cassoulet during the winter to keep you warm. Otherwise a nice salad (and by nice I mean with bacon and chicken and cheese and avocado and all the naughty bits!)

I use lots of different veggies in salads, i.e. grated courgettes, carrots/beetroot. Adding nuts and seeds helps to bulk them out. Also, boiled eggs or/and anchovies go well.

Lots of soups in a thermos. My latest is to use leeks instead of onions and to add a small amount of potato to smooth the soups out when blended.
