It's hard to find snacks that are easy to take on the go and are safe on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Here are some SCD-friendly on-the-go snacks that I have found that are delicious additions to what you make yourself at home!
Original Larabars These are delicious fruit and nut bars that are made with few ingredients and many of the flavors are SCD friendly! SCD-friendly flavors include: Peanut Butter Cookie, Cashew Cookie, Apple Pie, Blueberry Muffin, Coconut Cream Pie, Carrot Cake, Pecan Pie, Cinnamon Roll, Cherry Pie, Banana Bread, and Peanut Butter & Jelly. SCD-friendly seasonally available flavors include: Gingerbread, Pumpkin Pie, and Snickerdoodle! You can conveniently find these bars at retailers such as Walmart, Hannaford, ShopRite, and Amazon. You can buy singular bars as well as boxes of different sizes, so if you find a flavor you really like, you can stock up! They also come in variety packs. One of my personal favorites is Coconut Cream Pie! These bars are non-GMO, gluten free, vegan, dairy free, soy free, and kosher! They also come in minis! Larabar Fruits and Greens These bars are made of fruits and veggies and are designed to be reminiscent of healthy smoothies! All 4 flavors are SCD-friendly!: Mango Spinach Cashew, Strawberry Spinach Cashew, Pineapple Kale Cashew, and Blueberry Spinach Cashew. (All of these flavors also contain apricot and unsweetened dried apple or apple in addition to the ingredients in their names). These flavors can also be found on Amazon! Larabar Organic with Superfoods These bars are packed with nutrient-rich superfoods and are USDA Organic, gluten free, non-GMO, vegan, dairy free, and soy free! SCD-friendly flavor: Turmeric, Ginger & Beet (ingredients: dates, almonds, unsweetened apples, beet powder, turmeric, ginger). PRESSED by KIND I was recently introduced to KIND's fruit bar form of a green smoothie, which is also totally SCD-legal! SCD-friendly flavors: Pineapple Banana Kale Spinach (also contains apple) & Apricot Pear Carrot Beet (also contains apple). You can find these bars at retailers including Amazon! These bars are only made with fruits and veggies, provide 2 servings of fruit, are a good source of fiber, have a low glycemic index and no preservatives, are low in sodium, dairy free, vegan, contain no genetically engineered ingredients, and of course are gluten free and have no added sugar. These options are also vegan and not made with genetically modified ingredients! I like these bars because they are suitable for those not only following SCD, but also those who keep kosher, follow a gluten free diet, a vegan diet, a low sodium diet, a dairy free diet, avoid GMOs and try to eat organic foods and avoid preservatives, eat a high-fiber diet, and/or eat foods with a low glycemic index, so they are very accommodating to many different diets and lifestyles! They are free of common allergens such as eggs, soy, and wheat as well! I hope these convenient SCD-friendly bar options give you something you can take on the go to make sure you have sustenance even on a busy day! I know I, personally, have found that with a busy schedule, the energy that these bars provide in the no-mess, convenient packaging that they come in, has gotten me through when I couldn't cook and/or eat a more involved meal at the moment. Enjoy!
