Getting through the day without a snack or two between meals is hard, especially during the holidays when treats seem to be everywhere. The good news is there are plenty of tasty, diabetes-friendly options. Pairing carbs with protein, fiber or healthy fat tends to make snacks more satisfying and gentler on blood sugar.
Carb counts below are rough guides. Check labels for the brands you use.
Carrot, celery, cucumber and bell pepper sticks with hummus or a Greek yogurt dip. Light, crunchy and low in carbs, and easy to pack for work or school.
A great swap for a bag of chips. Toss rinsed canned chickpeas in olive oil and spices and roast until crunchy. About ¼ cup has around 10 to 12 g of carbs, plus fiber and plant protein.
Top a couple of whole-grain crackers or a rice cake with cottage cheese and sliced tomato for a mix of crunch, creaminess and protein.
Plain Greek yogurt is high in protein. Top it with a handful of fresh berries for sweetness. A 6-oz cup of plain nonfat Greek yogurt has about 6 to 7 g of carbs before the fruit.
Popcorn is a whole grain and surprisingly filling. Three cups of air-popped popcorn has roughly 18 to 19 g of carbs and under 100 calories. Skip the butter-flavored microwave versions.
Almonds provide healthy fats, fiber, magnesium and riboflavin. A 1-oz serving (about 23 almonds) has around 6 g of carbs. Choose unsalted nuts when you can.
Frozen grapes or berries make a cold, sweet alternative to ice cream after dinner. Keep portions to about a cup and count the carbs like any other fruit.
Toast two small whole-wheat pita triangles and serve with fresh tomato salsa when you're craving something savory.
