Three healthy snacks for everybody!

These snacks may be eaten by diabetics as well

These are some of the recipes I have found on the net and I have enjoyed as they are all very light, very tasty and can be made in less than five minutes.

Number 1 - Apples and cheese

Fruit is an important part of any diet, even for people with diabetes; it provides fiber and other important nutrients. Portion control is important, because fruit is naturally high in sugar. When adding fruit to your meal plan, choose fruits lower in natural sugars, such as berries, melon, and apples, and always choose smaller whole fruits (or cut larger fruits in half). The cheese adds protein to help stabilize blood sugar and curb hunger pangs, and provides calcium for strong bones. Cut and core 1 small apple into 4 wedges. Cut 1 slice of reduced-fat Cheddar cheese into 4 pieces and place on apple wedges. Serving size: 1 apple wedge and 1/4 slice cheese.

Number 2 - Veggies and fresh yogurt dip 

Raw vegetables are rich in minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. The yogurt adds protein to help stabilize blood sugar and curb hunger pangs, and provides calcium for strong bones. Cut some fresh veggies such as carrots, celery, or broccoli into dipping-size pieces to measure 1/2 cup. (Prepare extra veggies in advance and keep in small,serving-size storage containers in the fridge for another day.) Create a simple, healthy dip by stirring together one 8-ounce carton of plain nonfat yogurt, 2 teaspoons of minced fresh dill weed (or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed), 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serving size: 1/2 cup veggies and 2 tablespoons of dip.

Number 3 - Orange and Strawberry shake

If you want to avoid getting diabetes you should eat more vitamin C. Two great sources of vitamin C are oranges and Strawberries. So you should get 10 medium sized strawberries and blend it with the juice of two whole oranges. This will give you the beneficial Vitamin C you need to avoid diabetes.
