SPEAKER: If you have diabetes,
choosing healthy snacks will
help keep your blood sugar
levels in check,
curb your appetite, and give you
a boost of energy.
Know the difference
between being hungry and bored.
Try to avoid mindless grazing.
Understand portions.
And try to keep your snacks
to 150 calories.
Portion out your snacks
from their original bag
into a storage container.
Make better choices.
Choose nuts instead of chips.
Stash snacks that need
little prep, like cottage cheese
and fresh fruit,
homemade popcorn sprinkled
with nutritional yeast,
fresh veggies
with hummus and nuts.
Everybody loves cheese.
So add a little apple to slices
of cheddar and voila--
a diabetic-friendly snack that
provides fiber, protein,
and calcium.
For an on-the-go snack, try
mixing dried fruits, nuts,
and unsweetened whole grain
cereal, or shredded wheat--
fiber and healthy fats.
Now there's a snack.
And that's your festival
of delicious snacks.
