What are quick, healthy snacks that I can eat with braces?

Question

I used to eat a lot of fruit. I would have at least 1 or 2 apples a day. When I was watching a movie, I would snack on baby carrots (no dip). I got braces, and I find ever since, I have been snacking on unhealthy foods such as chips, cookies, etc. I don't want to gain weight, or be unhealthy, but I don't really like cooked veggies. I can cut an apple, but then it goes brown if I take it to work with me. Does anyone have any healthy ideas, that are also quick to prepare?

Answer 1

They have apples cut and packaged in the grocery stores that don't brown.

How about bananas and watermelon or any other melon.  How about making smoothies in the morning?

Or yogurt?

Answer 2

well, i used to wear braces too... i wore it for about 6-12 months. at first, it's really tough to chew and bite those kinds of food you stated above. when you bite in an apple it's as if your teeth is going to break but once the brackets loosened a bit you can be able to bite off in an apple.  as for now, you can replace bananas or oranges for apples, some yogurt will be good too, also prunes.  it just depends on your pain threshold if you really cant resist. :)
