Eggs may have had a bad rap in the past, but they’re extremely good for you. This snack has no sugar, and it’s packed with vitamins and nutrients. Eggs have also been proven to lower your “bad” LDL cholesterol and raise you “good” HDL cholesterol. We suggest hard boiled eggs for the most effects.
Rice cakes come in a wide variety of flavors, so there's a taste for everyone. Rice cakes are also really high in fiber, which helps keep you regular. Make sure to check the nutritional facts before walking away, since some can still have a lot of sugar.
You don’t have to ditch ice cream altogether. Several ice cream brands now make low-carb and low-sugar flavors. While we still suggest that you pace yourself (we know the struggles), it’s a great way to satisfy your craving without raising your blood sugar.
Never underestimate the power of fruit. Apple chips are pretty delicious, and adding cinnamon to them can make them even better. This little snack is one of our favorites. Just slice the apple, sprinkle on some cinnamon, and bake them at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.
Almonds are extremely good for you. They have tons of vitamin E, manganese, magnesium, copper, and vitamin B2. On top of that, almonds also pack a heavy punch of good fats. However, they have saturated fat, so we suggest keeping your snack limited to a handful at most.
Who doesn’t love pickles? Bread and butter are off limits due to the sugar content, but that doesn’t mean you can’t munch down on dill pickles. Fermented foods can lower blood sugar, so next time you see a delicious dill, bite down!
Hummus is low-fat, low-sugar, and high-nutrition. It’s made with chickpeas, garlic, and olive oil—all of which have heart-healthy benefits. Our suggestion for this snack is to eat it with celery or carrots. If you insist on bread, make sure it’s whole grain.
