Snacks To Help Manage Diabetes

Sip On Fruit Smoothies

Homemade fruit smoothies are an amazing and healthy snack that also helps diabetes. The fruits mentioned so far, like pomegranates, apples, and even others like blueberries and cranberries, make for sweet bases in fruit smoothies. They have natural sugars, but they all seem to help people manage their diabetes well. They are also full of nutrients like antioxidants and fiber.

Smoothies can also contain leafy greens and avocados, which bring in even more nutrients like healthy fats and iron. People with diabetes should use plain yogurt and unsweetened soy or almond milk in their fruit smoothies. These help finish off the smoothie without adding refined sugars. Water would be just fine too if it’s preferred!

Dive Into Fruit Salad

It’s clear: fruit is a winner when it comes to snacks to help manage diabetes. Fruit salad is especially effective since it can combine many different fruits into one snack! A great choice is a berry salad with blueberries, cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, and even strawberries. Pomegranate arils are at home in a fruit salad like this as well. Talk about antioxidants! Honey-balsamic dressings are also great to pour over fruit salad, though these salads are delicious on their own. Apples are always delicious in salads. Oranges work too! People with diabetes should look at the flavors they like and work on avoiding unnecessary sugar for the best snack for their condition.
