Chemotherapy | Chemo Snacks Care Box

Spicy Apple Ginger Chews (84g)

Evidence shows that ginger is an effective treatment for nausea and vomiting which can be an unfortunate side effect of chemotherapy. These chewy ginger sweets are made with 10% fresh ginger which gives a peppery pop, whilst cinnamon red apples provide sweetness. These little treats taste just like biting into a warm slice of apple pie.

 

Gingernut Biscuits – 130g

We have carefully selected these Hawkens bite size Gingernut biscuits because they are by far the greatest tasting gingernut that we have ever come across. Hot and fiery as a gingernut biscuit should be, deep in flavour and with chunks of crystalised ginger, these gingernuts are a delicious way of consuming ginger (and calories) if your loved is feeling nauseous from treatment and struggling to keep large quantities of food down. 

 

Sour Cherries Gummy Sweets (120g)

People going through chemotheray treatment often experience an unpleasant metallic taste in their mouth. Sucking sour sweets can help to alleviate this sympton and we have chosen gummy sweets as they are soft in case your loved one is also suffering from a sore mouth.

 

Scilian Lemon Xylitol Mints (15g)

Mint is well known for easing nausea and we’ve specifically chosen lemon mints because feedback tells us they are gentler for sensitive or sore mouths that chemo treatment can cause. Peppersmith mints also contain Xylitol. Studies have shown that Xylitol can help reduce tooth decay by helping to prevent plaque bacteria sticking to the teeth. Oral complications are common with chemotherapy treatment and so dental hygiene is especially important. Sucking Xylitol mints can also help to relieve a dry mouth that some people experience when going through chemo treatment.

 

Neat Natural Energy Bar (2 x 45g bar)

Chemotherapy treatment can affect the taste and appetite. Neat Natural Energy Bar is a delicious and nutritious vegan snack bar made using natural ingredients with no added sugar and no palm oil. (Random flavour allocation)

 

Ginger Beer (330ml)

Ginger Beer is often recommended by cancer patients to help ease nausea, combat taste issues and help with hydration. We have chosen Heather Ale's Ginger Beer as it offers a bold, spicy kick and contains only natural ingredients and real fruit flavours, making it a healthy alternative to traditional Ginger Beer.

 

Hydration Sachet (2 x 3g)

It's so important to stay hydrated when going through chemotherapy treatment. Vidrate hydration sachets ensure the rapid and effective replenishment of essential electrolytes, provide a vitamin boost and replenish sodium, phosphate, bicarbonate, chloride, potassium, calcium and more. Containing zero sugar and no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives, vidrate hydration sachets offer a faster way to restore a healthy level of hydration than drinking water alone.

Pukka Tea – Organic Three Ginger (1 teabag sachet)

Known in India as the ‘universal herb’ ginger is well known for its anti-nausea properties and these Organic Three Ginger Pukka teabags contain a warming swirl of ginger, galangal and golden turmeric to help ease nausea, whilst also helping with with hydration – a key factor in dealing with nausea.

 

Pukka Tea –  Organic Three Mint (1 teabag sachet)

Mint is everyone’s favourite herb and is particularly helpful for digestion. Bursting with three of the finest mints, spearmint, peppermint and field mint, carefully blended to help aid digestion, and of course hydration.
