Pretzels and Peanut Butter { My go-to snack }

pretzel

This is one of those staples in my dairy soy free diet, that I simply couldn't do without. 

I eat them in a house
I eat them with a mouse.
I eat them here and there,
Say! I eat them ANYWHERE! :)

Peanut Butter in general is a life saver.

Protein without cooking. Whoop!

Just make sure that your PB doesn't have soybean oil in it.  I'd say go with either the Skippy Natural or the Smart Balance.  They are made without soybean oil and I'm a fan of the taste. 

Also, when getting pretzels, be sure to avoid the flavored ones that have sneaky dairy and soy ingredients.  I love the Snyders snaps. They are safe :)

This is a super snack to keep in the car or diaper bag for when you're out and about and STARVING. 
Or in and around and STARVING.
OR just in general STARVING.

Because lets face it, you don't always have time to cook to eat, sometimes you gotta grab and go!  :)

STARKIST Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil

STARKIST 
Yellowfin Tuna in Extra Virgin Olive Oil
tuna brandMost tuna is packed with "vegetable broth" (check the label). More often than not, the vegetable used in that broth is soybean. (much like the vegetable in "vegetable oil" is most commonly soybean)  Even though the allergens listed on a can of tuna do not list soy, MSPI nurslings can have an adverse reaction to the trace amount of soy protein in packaged tuna.  Don't shoot yourself in the dairy/soy free foot (or breast! ha!) by buying the wrong tuna.  Educate yourself!  And go forth and buy soy-free tuna!

Look for tuna packaged in olive oil instead of vegetable broth

BOARS HEAD DELI MEATS
In a lot of my menu items I use Boars Head Deli Meats. Many pre-packaged deli meats and store brand deli meats contain milk ingredients such as casein or whey. Many Boars Head deli meats are Dairy Free. Yippee! (They are the best anyway!)

(check your ingredients- to get a list of the ingredients for a particular flavor, I just ask for a printout from the scale in the meat department- they place the meat in question (BEFORE THEY SLICE IT) on the scale, type in or scan the code so that it registers that flavor, and print out a price sticker that has the ingredients listed on it- easy :) )
