Let's mix things up with these healthy snack combinations you can enjoy guilt-free, even if you currently suffer from diabetes!
1) Try having an egg with salsa, together they provide many diabetes-fighting benefits. A single egg, whether hard-boiled, scrambled, or poached, supplies about 6 grams of protein. Create a homemade salsa with tomatoes, bell peppers, and jalapenos which are all rich sources of vitamin c.
2) Mixing a small amount of nuts with some mozzarella cheese can be a great healthy snack. Studies show that adding almonds to your diet can help decrease blood sugar levels by 3%. Walnut consumption has been shown to decrease the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Mozzarella cheese is possibly the best source of CALCIUM on the planet. This mineral isn’t just essential for bone health, it is also used by the body to aid the release of insulin.
3) Next time you have an apple, why not spread on a bit of peanut butter. Apples are an excellent source of anti-diabetes nutrients, including vitamin C, B vitamins, and potassium. Organic peanut butter is high in a wide range of beneficial nutrients, including vitamin B6, vitamin E, copper, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and selenium.
4) Carrots with hummus is a delicious nutrient-rich and healthy snack. Carrots contain a great amount of fiber, along with the antioxidants LUTEIN and LYCOPENE, plus ANTHOCYANINS, POTASSIUM, B VITAMINS, and VITAMIN K. hummus, is mostly made with chickpeas, provides a wealth of diabetes-fighting nutrients, including FOLATE, MANGANESE, and ZINC.
5) Try some natural greek probiotic yogurt, sprinkled with a few fresh berries, it's a combo that can add some sweetness to your day, without spiking your blood sugar levels! The antioxidants within berries, including ANTHOCYANINS, RESVERATROL, and ELLAGIC ACID, can provide protection to the pancreas and its insulin-producing cells. Greek yogurt supplies diabetes-fighting, heart-helping B VITAMINS, MAGNESIUM, and POTASSIUM.

One of my favorite healthy snacks is celery sticks with organic peanut butter.

I stay away from most fruits because of the high sugar. I’m surprised to see recommendation for apples in this video
OMG!!! Love how diverse and achievable this is… Food combination is key. Thank U!!!
Agreed, love it!
No smoothies you should eat your vegetables and fruit it’s better for you . Instead of doing smoothies.
You’ve very welcome, Glenn!
Ima, yes, indeed, apples are nutrient-dense, and sticking with one serving of apple, a few days per week, can bring you many health benefits without much risk of a blood sugar spike, or other diabetes-related negative effects. Still, pairing your apple with a healthy source of protein, like organic peanut butter, can help your body in slowing the digestion of the sugar you receive from the apple.
Thanks, you’re welcome, Sandra!

@Sal Grasso your wrong it has natural sugar. Still sugar.
Lots of fiber in the skin of apples eat it don’t peel it off and waste it.
Thanks for the tip!
Funny thing I noticed …my mom loves chickpeas/ garbanzo beans,but not hummus !! Lol.Maybe it’s the texture ??
Hang on a sec, Pineapples & mango are very high in sugar.
Celery is nice with hummus.
Thankyou for sharing.

Not mango or pineapple
The sin on apples is very good for you – why did you show only pictures of the skins being peeled? Thanks for the rest of the video.
