    15 Tasty Snack Ideas for People With Diabetes

    15 Tasty Snack Ideas for People With Diabetes

    When you're managing diabetes, snacks play a key role in keeping your blood sugar stable. A pantry stash of pre-packaged, carb-loaded snacks full of added sugar and sodium won't cut it, though. You're much better off noshing on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains. The following diabetes-friendly snacks spin nutritious ingredients into delicious, deceptively healthy snacks. Recipes like plantain chips, peanut butter balls, roasted chickpeas, and guacamole compete with processed snacks in flavor, and leave you feeling full.

"This is, by far, the best recipe for porcupine meatballs I have ever had," says Melinda. "This is a recipe that was given to my mom when she married back in 1970. The recipe also includes cooking directions for stovetop cooking or cooking in the oven. Hope you enjoy as much as our family does."

Rave Review: "Definitely a 5 star recipe! Easy to throw together, ingredients I always have on hand, and super tasty! Served with salad and garlic bread (a must to soak up all the yummy sauce)." —Minnesota_Girl

"This is a quick, throw together slow cooker soup with a Mexican flair," says Janeen. "Teenagers love it. Serve topped with corn chips, shredded Cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Make sure you adjust the amount of chile peppers if you're sensitive about spicy foods."

Rave Review: I will definitely be making this again! My husband loved it and was craving more the next day. We ate it a spoonful of sour cream and cheese on top, with tortilla chips of course. It's also very good with rolls. Makes great leftovers!

"This is an easy and very tasty dish," says ANDREALF63. "I often substitute ground turkey and low fat dairy products and it is still delicious! Serve with chips, salsa, and green salad."

Rave Review: "Very easy to prep with ingredients I usually have on hand. Next time I think I may use plain yogurt instead of sour cream and mix it with a little taco seasoning to up the flavor and ease up the calories a little. You could totally add a can of corn or another thing of beans as well and it would be delicious. Thanks for a keeper!" —Jaime

"This is the tastiest, easiest chili recipe you'll ever find," says Deb. "I recommend serving it with sliced jalapeno chile peppers and crackers or cornbread."

Rave Review: "Even my 7-year-old ate this! I coupled it with the "Absolute Mexican Cornbread" and, needless to say, it was a keeper. I followed the recipe only substituting the dark red kidney beans for pinto beans and added a little bit of fresh jalapeños...other than that it really doesn't need any tweaking!" —Christine

Shepherd's Pie VI

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Yes, we know this recipe should be made with lamb in order to be called "shepherd's pie," and that since it's made with ground beef, it should be called "cottage pie." That said, this is a very popular, top-rated recipe — no matter what you call it.

Rave Review: "I've made this so many times that I must give everyone my updates. First, I season the beef with whatever I have on hand (onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, meat magic, etc.) I use canned veggies (drained), and then top it with instant potatoes. (I use either 4 cheese or roasted garlic!) Then I top with about 1 cup of cheese (any Cheddar mix will do.) The result is delicious AND it is sooooooo much faster!" —CLS1220

"My mother was a country cook, plain and simple. But as I have traveled and worked and experienced foods from around the world, I look back and realize that many of the dishes she prepared, while simple, were perfect for that moment. Sometimes we have to put emotion and love in a dish to make it extra-special. The dish I am going to give you today is one like that. Simple and easy, yet full of love and goodness. My mother used to serve this with corn on the cob and cornbread. Very inexpensive and very good as well. Enjoy an Ozark memory..." —mtgraham2

Rave Review: "I found this while looking for something to do with a cabbage and ground beef I had on hand and I can't believe how delicious this came out and yet so easy to put together and, all in one pot!" —Linder007

"Pretty tasty stuff. I did my own thing with it though," comments Melissa Worthy. "While browning the beef I seasoned it with onion powder, garlic powder, freshly ground black pepper, and a smidge of salt. I chopped up one small onion, and after draining the beef I mixed the beef, cream of mushroom soup, and chopped onions together and let them simmer a bit. Then poured the mixture into a 10x10 casserole dish. I added sharp cheddar. Then put the tots on, then added triple cheddar shredded cheese on top of the tots. My family loved it including my 2 year old who typically doesn't eat beef!"

"I've always loved the taste of a good Stroganoff, but I hated the expense and preparation of beef tips or steak or roast beef to make it. So I created my own creamy Stroganoff," says recipe creator Jessica.

Rave Review: "Easy! My husband and my boys loved it. It made enough for leftovers for two more nights ( blessing and a curse). I used farfalle noodles instead of egg noodles and added garlic salt to taste. The only thing I'll do differently next time is cook the mushrooms separately in the hamburger pan. They were a little under done because I didn't want to overcook the hamburger. Quick and easy last minute dinner...tastes delicious too!" —Antonia Frasier
