Eggs are absolutely not dairy. They are sold in the dairy section as a convenience because it’s a refrigerated section and people often pick up milk and eggs together.

Dairy = items made from milk from a mammal. Chicken eggs are not milk, nor are chicken mammals.

Tofu or tempeh (plain) cut into strips and air fried

Roasted potatoes

Plain blanched green beans

Avocado is a fruit, so off limits per the OP.

Well that's confusing because the OP also said no tomatoes which are also a fruit. So are we including

cucumbers
pumpin and squash
eggplant
sweet peppers
corn
green beans

in the fruit list?

Maybe other middle eastern dips besides hummus work. I’m thinking baba ganoush made with roast eggplant, or the parsley one.

Roast eggplant is so delicious, but not exactly a “snack”

What about doing some quick pickled veggies?

I know olives are technically a fruit but is that in her allergy list?

No meat, dairy, or fruit. She has allergies to many things found in highly processed foods. Absolutely no citrus, no tomatoes, nothing vinegary like olives or pickles. No nuts, seeds, or dried seaweed. Absolutely not even a speck of chili powder.

Anyone have ideas? Thank you!

How about balls made of a lentil, bean or lentil based veggie burger recipe, served with some kind of dip (soy yougurt based maybe)?

White bean dip is very easily put together and you can use safe spices and oils to cater the flavouring.

Lentil tofu is really good and also easily made, if you want an alternative to regular tofu.

Lettuce wraps with crumbled tofu, or TVP if she can have that

Eggplant “meatballs” and a dip - the Mediterranean dish has some you can probably swap out the breadcrumbs for something else lower carb



Panisse or socca

Mini wraps made from coconut flour and eggs and filed with fresh vegetables

Also, OP, I know this is not the place to get into it, but this sounds like very restrictive eating, not just with all the eliminations, but also the low carb specification. I hope your friend is seeing a nutritionist and a dietician, as well as being monitored for her health by a physician. She should also have a list of snacks ready to share with you.

DP, but olives do not have to be “vinegary”. Many types are packed in oil or ferric chloride solution and not vinegar laden at all.

Does she have cancer? My mom had stomach cancer and didn’t want to eat anything, nor could she hold anything down.

My contribution: roasted seaweed

+1
She should bring her own food. She’s probably used to doing that by now.
