  2. Pair carbs with protein or fiber

  3. Read labels to stay informed

  4. Prep ahead - have healthy snacks ready and available

  1. Crispy Chickpeas with a Twist Roasted chickpeas seasoned with a blend of chili powder and garlic offer a crunchy, protein-packed snack that’s low on the glycemic index.

  2. Apple Sandwiches Slice apples horizontally, spread natural peanut or almond butter in between two slices, and add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few dark chocolate chips for a satisfyingly sweet and crunchy snack.

  3. Sesame Kale Chips Crispy kale seasoned with sesame oil and a touch of tamari make for a unique, low-calorie snack that’s high in minerals and umami flavor.

  4. Turmeric Roasted Cauliflower Baked cauliflower florets sprinkled with turmeric and a hint of black pepper not only offer an explosion of flavors but also provide anti-inflammatory benefits to support blood sugar regulation.

  5. Broccoli and Cheese Egg Bites Mix eggs, a choice of milk, and veggies and bake in a cupcake pan for individual portions perfect for snacks.

  6. Cocoa-Dusted Almonds Raw almonds dusted with unsweetened cocoa powder provide a satisfying chocolate fix with the added benefits of healthy fats and antioxidants.
