My husband is a youth pastor at a local church and I constantly have people who are newly diagnosed come up to me on Sundays and ask, "What can I eat? What can I snack on?"
I've made a list of snacks that I like... (keyword "I") printed them on index cards so I can hand them out and hopefully people can find a few things to springboard their own snack ideas off of. I also found some of these ideas from a social network for people with diabetes that I belong to called TuDiabetes. It's a REALLY helpful resource. :)
Celery dipped in hummus, cream cheese, or peanut butter
Any type of veggie dipped in ranch dressing
Blueberries
Apples with peanut butter
Cooked, cut up chicken, wrapped in a big fat Romaine lettuce leaf with a little dressing
Low Carb yogurt (plain with a little sweetener or fruit, or a dab of honey, Greek Yogurt)
Cottage cheese (THE MOST DIABETIC FRIENDLY FOOD EVER!)
Low Carb: Mini cucumber sandwiches (cream cheese in between two cucumber slices)
Higher Carb Variation: Cucumber cut up on whole wheat bread with cream cheese
Turkey Pepperoni
Trail Mix (peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, raisins, M&Ms)
(Watch out for those carbs, but a good mix of carbs and protein before a workout!)
I would love to add to this list! Leave your favorite snacks in a comment!
