What to eat/drink after blood donation

I went keto since my last blood donation 6 months ago. I missed the one 3 months ago. So next Monday, I will do my first donation on keto.
Just wondering what to eat or drink after the donation. They always provide biscuits, chocolate bars or potato crisps at the center but, obviously, I won’t be having any of that.
Any ideas of what I can bring along as an alternatieve?
Any other suggestions for before and after? I won’t be fasting.

Have you considered taking a flask of tasty, well salted home made broth?

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #3

Broth is a very good suggestion. You might also bring a packet of pork rinds, or some cheese, or pepperoni or the like. You want the liquid, of course, but the protein and fat will be helpful, too.
