Smart Snacking for Stable Blood Sugar

Longer daylight hours can mean more snacking—let’s make it count. The goal? Keep insulin low and energy steady. Here’s how:

No “Naked Carbs” – Pair carbs (fruit, grains, sweets) with fat or protein to slow glucose absorption. Think: cheese with veggies or nuts with dark chocolate.

Prioritize Protein & Healthy Fats – A handful of nuts, avocado, or Greek yogurt will keep you satisfied until your next meal.

Snacks = Bridges, Not Meals – It’s okay to feel hunger. The best ingredient in a meal is an appetite.

My go-to snacks:

  • Aloha protein bar
  • Chomps jerky and small apple
  • Simple protein smoothie with collagen, nuts and fiber powder.
  • Electrolytes (LMNT) with seaweed snacks for thyroid support
  • Cashew yogurt with berries and vanilla collagen
