Snack mixes are handy to have preassembled for a quick snack. Keep the mix in a tightly sealed container in your bag or backpack, in the car, or by the couch.
You can adapt the ingredients depending on your symptoms. If you’re experiencing constipation, include dried fruits and cereals with at least five grams of fiber, such as Mini Wheats or Wheat Chex. A sprinkling of nuts adds protein. And, of course, a little chocolate rarely hurts! If you are very nauseated, use a plainer cracker, such as Wheat Thins, and omit the M&M’S.
