Good Snacks!

Here are some snacks that I enjoy that don't raise my sugars too much:

South Beach Diet Protein Bars - Chocolate & peanut butter flavor - they are both good
and have 10 grams of protein. About $2.50 for a box of 5! (with your Kroger card!)

Small Apple (with the peeling) to get the fiber - which will help keep your blood sugar lower) with 2 tbsp. peanut butter or 2 ounces 2% cheddar cheese

1/2 a banana with peanut butter

Handful of almonds

Edamame - soybeans - they are yummy! Before you think "What is that?" go the organic food section and buy the pre-shelled Edamame - you cook them in the microwave for about 4 minutes in the bag and toss some sea salt with them and store in a bag in the fridge. They have a very low glycemic index and they are full of protein - both good for diabetics.

Frozen Fruit with Cream (well - not cream- too much fat - but 2% milk)! - This is so good! A friend of mine had a 40th birthday party and the person who prepared the food knew I was diabetic and made this dessert for me - but its also a great snack.! Freeze a champagne glass (for at least 24 hours) -add either raspberries or blackberries, blueberries or strawberries or a mixture to the frozen glass. Then pour 2% milk over the fruit and let it stand for a about 10 minutes. The milk starts to freeze to the fruit and it thickens - add a dash of cinnamon and splenda to the top and enjoy!

Hope you enjoy these - I am sure I will post some more soon!
