Often, we forget to eat or we snack on empty junk food. In our busy lives and our ADD/ADHD it is difficult enough just getting through the day let alone meeting our basic needs. I have found some quick protein snacks can go a long way to helping me focus clearly. Here are some ideas of quick protein snacks.
- Spoonful of peanut butter
- Handful of peanuts, nuts, and/or mixture of both
- Cheese and crackers
- A slice of lunch meat
- Humus and crackers or pita bread
- Canned tuna, salmon, or any other fish and crackers
- Chicken spread and crackers
- String cheese, cheese sticks, or a chunk of cheese
- Glass of milk or chocolate milk
- Hard boiled eggs
- Canned chicken
- Cottage cheese, I like to eat this with crackers
- Can of baked beans or chili beans microwaved
- In a bind, peanut M&M's, Snickers, or protein bars
- Trail mix
- Yogurt, so I've heard
I am not saying that this replaces treatment in any manner, nor am I implying that ADD/ADHD is caused by diet. These are merely meant as strategies to help make better, but not necessarily perfect, snack choices.
I needed a reminder list. Thanks Sarah. Hugs Marr
