diabetic snacking – Cut the B.S.

Deli sticks

I was on Pinterest and repinned this link from Eating Well. It is a post about 100 calorie snack ideas. Great ideas, as they also happen to be diabetic friendly. I found myself hungry for a snack so I picked an idea that I had the ingredients to and so I picked the Turkey Rollups idea.

Here’s how it turned out.

I used mustard because I love that flavor and it has no carbs so I can kinda go crazy with it. It was quite satisfying and I love the crunch of the pretzel stick in the middle.

Then I began to think…

Girl, we can have fun with this!

Here are a few ways I can think of to change it up:

Mix up a little whipped cream cheese & cranberry sauce in place of mustard. Baby thanksgiving sticks! Cranberry sauce can be rather high in carbs so just watch out for that.

Use vegetable sticks instead of breadsticks to lower the carb content or to splurge on higher carb sauces.

Feeling beefy? A1 sauce & roast beef baby!

Want some kick? Use buffalo wing sauce, Tapatío, ooooo or sriracha! Oh yea./li>;;

Want some Far East flavors? Use sweet and sour, teriyaki, hot mustard-like from the Asian market, or wasabi!

Clearly, I love sauces…I’m quite the condiment girl. Again, remember to keep I mind the carb contents of these combinations as some of the sauces are of the sweeter higher carb persuasion.

What ways can you think of to change up this snack? Please share in the comments as I’m always looking for new ideas.

Keep snacking.
Keep counting the carbs.
Keep it D-licious.
Keep Cutting the B.S.! …and I mean Blood Sugar!
