Just because a person has diabetes doesn’t mean they should give up snacking.
Eating snacks is often conceived as eating junk and unhealthy food.
However, some snacks can be delicious but healthy at the same time, which is good for people with diabetes or people who are on the verge of getting the disease due to their diet.
Here are 5 of the best snacks for people with diabetes:
1. Baked potato chips and salsa
Baked potato chips are the healthier option over regular fried potato chips that contain a lot of cholesterol and fat.
It might not be as salty, but if you pair it with tomato and veggie salsa, it can tickle your taste buds and satisfy your cravings when binge-watching movies and TV shows at home.
2. Nonfat yogurt with fruit
A cup of nonfat yogurt might not sound that appealing, but if you mix it with a little bit of fruit, you will definitely enjoy a delightful snack.
It will provide your body with a balanced consumption of protein, carbs, vitamins, and minerals. Plus, fruit snacks provide you with antioxidants and fiber which is excellent for digestion.
3. Microwave popcorn
Popcorn is another excellent alternative to chips.
And even the Oldways Whole Grains Council thinks it is the perfect snack.
However, you should only snack on the plain varieties– which is still really good.
4. Wheat crackers and hummus
Nothing really beats some crackers with dip.
Hummus will provide your plain wheat crackers with a kick of flavor, as well as the nutrients you need to
manage your sugar levels.
5. Sugar-free dark chocolate hot cocoa
Even if you are diabetic, you can still enjoy a cup of hot cocoa.
Just make sure you use fat-free milk and purchase a dark chocolate sugar-free cocoa mix instead of the
regular milk chocolate mix.
The flavor will still be as rich, satisfying your chocolate cravings.
