Make Snack Time Healthier
From: 101 Tips Series, American Diabetes Association
Instead of reaching for candy to keep your blood sugar up, plan
ahead for a more substantial snack.
Having healthy snacks on hand can save you from hypoglycemia — and
from settling for less-than-nutritious foods. The best choices begin
at the bottom of the food pyramid and contain 15 grams of carbohydrate
per serving. Good options include air-popped popcorn, baked tortilla
chips and salsa, graham crackers, pretzels, bagels, and cereal.
Fresh fruits and vegetables also make excellent snacks, and they're
portable. To make a snack more substantial, add a source of low-fat
protein, such as a glass of low-fat milk. Add reduced-fat peanut
butter to a slice of bread or a bagel, low-fat cheese on crackers,
or a slice of turkey breast on whole-wheat bread.
Be prepared for anything — always carry a snack with you in case of
a delayed meal or unexpected change in your schedule.
