Our suggestions come from a staff dietitian and certified diabetes educator here at Sunnybrook — who suggested these snacks as healthy alternatives to traditionally unhealthy snacks like chips or cookies. People with any health conditions should speak to their healthcare provider for specific help with their diet.

Of course, portion is key! To make this fact more clear, we have added a new last line to the post. Thank you for pointing this out!

Johann, I love popcorn! I like mine with a light sprinkle of parmesan cheese!

Greek yogurt is usually swimming with sugar–a diabetic’s dream that will raise blood sugar overnight. Crackers usually use white flour and have added transfats. Cheese is very caloric. I am not sure these are good suggestions at all for people who might think from the article that they are “free foods” and can be consumed liberally.

Sometimes I add a sprinkle of Now brand Stevia concentrate for sweetness.
