Healthy diabetic snack ideas.

[pnwest]

27. Recently diagnosed and experimenting with

all kinds of foods and snacks.
Instead of chips and salsa, I buy a head of cabbage and cut a chunk of it into triangles, and use that as chips for salsa. Pretty darn good! Also celery and hummus, or half an apple with peanut butter. A really great breakfast is savory oatmeal - make oatmeal with chicken stock instead of milk, then top with all kinds of savory toppings. My fave is sautéed spinach and mushrooms, diced tomato, chopped boiled eggs and feta cheese. Google savory oatmeal for loads of recipe ideas! For tacos, I sub a whole romaine leaf for the shell. And lastly, for something sweet, I will substitute a homemade meal replacement protein smoothie for a meal - filling, diabetic friendly and satisfies the sweet tooth. 1c oat milk, 1c water, 1/2 c Greek yogurt, one scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 tbsp flax seed, and approx 2/3 cup frozen strawberries and bananas. Blend it up and YUM! There’s also a ton of smoothie recipes for diabetics. OH and my favorite snack is SUPER easy. I know you said he doesn’t like yogurt, but this is just like chocolate mousse. Greek yogurt, Hershey’s Cocoa powder, and either honey or real maple syrup - you’ll have to play with the amounts to find the right taste to jus liking, mix well and it is wonderful!
