Another healthy alternative is cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. It’s one of the best ways to top off multi-grain or whole grain snacks for diabetics such as crackers or breads. There are few better ways to feel fuller while bringing blood sugar-regulating protein and calcium into your mini meals.

Peanut butter –

Peanut butter is high in niacin or vitamin B3, vital for the metabolism of the body. It has no cholesterol and low sodium content. We’re talking about homemade peanut butter here. Unless specified otherwise, it contains sugar, salt, hydrogenated vegetable oils and preservative when made in a factory.

It’s not difficult to make peanut butter at home. You can make a small jar of the stuff easily by grinding together 500gm roasted peanuts, a tablespoon of roasted almonds, a tablespoon of virgin olive oil or coconut oil and a wee bit of salt to taste. Simple blend until it reaches a buttery consistency.
