Check out the ideas below for low sugar snacks that are simple, easy to prepare, and delicious!

5 Options for Low Sugar Snacks

Hummus and Carrots
Who doesn’t love hummus? Make this delicious chickpea dip even healthier by serving it with carrot sticks instead of regular potato chips or pita chips. A plate of hummus and carrots is an excellent choice for low sugar snacks because it helps keep blood sugar levels steady for long periods of time. Hummus itself has a lot of protein, which also helps to curb your appetite as well. And carrots are full of vitamin A, which has been shown to help your eyesight. Can’t get much healthier than that!

Crispy Fruit Snacks
If you’re looking for something healthy to satisfy a nagging sweet tooth, look for Crispy Fruit snacks. Because they’re made with just one ingredient – fruit – they’re a great option for low sugar snacks. There are no added preservatives or sweeteners, and they’re a great on-the-go option when fresh fruit isn’t readily available or easy to pack. And since they come in individual, single serving size bags, they truly are “grab and go” and ready to be eaten, anytime!

Kale Chips
Kale chips make for great low sugar snacks because they’re full of healthy vitamins and minerals, and they’re super easy to make or find at your local grocery store. If you bake them at home, just add a little olive oil and sea salt to kale leaves on a cookie sheet and bake in the oven. Either way, kale chips contain tons of vitamin K, which is known to help build strong bones and prevent heart disease.

Celery Sticks with Peanut Butter
Get your peanut butter fix the healthy way and spread a tablespoon on top of celery sticks. These low sugar snacks are great for combining a little crunchiness with creamy, protein rich peanut butter – so good! If you’re not a peanut butter fan, you can substitute for almond butter as well, which also packs in protein and essential vitamins and minerals.

Turkey and Cheese Roll Ups
Looking for more low sugar snacks with tons of protein? Look no further than your own deli drawer in your refrigerator – it doesn’t get much easier than that! Simply pair your favorite deli meat with your favorite slices of cheese together for an easy snack that goes straight into the lunchbox. We like smoked turkey with Swiss cheese, but feel free to experiment to find other delicious combinations!
