The 7 Best No-Added-Sugar Snacks for Better Blood Sugar, According to Dietitians

Snacks are a valuable way to keep blood sugars and energy levels steady, whether you have diabetes, prediabetes or are simply being proactive about balancing blood sugars. These between-meal bites can help prevent blood sugar (and energy) crashes during the day. It’s no surprise, however, that certain snacks affect blood sugars differently.

That’s where the conversation about added sugar comes in. Sweet snacks are one of the top sources of added sugars in the U.S. diet, and too much of the sweet stuff can contribute to weight gain, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.1 “It’s beneficial to minimize added sugar intake by choosing snacks with little to no added sugars. This simple habit can make a big difference in maintaining stable blood sugar levels,” says Esther Tambe, M.S., RDN, CDCES, a certified diabetes care and education specialist.

"Apple slices with peanut butter. Yum!"

For some weird reason I've never liked peanut butter with anything else. Give me a slice of bread with just peanut butter and I'm happy. I've tried, but don't like jelly, jam, or preserves, and never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The thought of chocolate and peanut butter together makes my stomach turn. I was never crazy about Butterfinger candy bars, or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I'm more of a milk chocolate person, and don't like nuts and chocolate together either.

That’s right. High protein. NO sugars..(unless flavored...eg. bbq has sugar...high fat...but it’s a snack. Avocado is good also....
Minimize sugars and starches...exercise and lose lots of weight...until as thin and healthy as possible...
