Hypoglycemia Snack Ideas

• Peanut butter and whole wheat crackers
• Peanut butter on apple slices (try it if you never have!)
• Peanut butter and banana open face sandwich
• Cheese and crackers (try different cheeses and crackers for variety)
• Cheese and pretzels (pretzels contribute texture)
• Polly-O String Cheese (these are individually wrapped and really convienent, but they do need to be refridgerated)
• Melted cheddar cheese on bread (try rye bread for variety)

• Melted cheddar cheese on Triscuits

• Tortilla chips with melted cheddar and/or monterery jack cheese with salsa and sour cream
• Soft tortilla with melted cheddar and/or monterey jack cheese with salsa and sour cream
• Mini pizza on a roll or bagel (tomato sauce and mozerella cheese)
• Plain yogurt or cottage cheese with one of the following:
  • slices of apple and cinnamon
  • unsweetened pineapple - canned or fresh
  • fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blue berries, etc.) - can be mixed with yogurt in a blender
  • fresh or frozen peach slices

• Egg salad open face sandwich (hard boiled egg, mayonnaise and mustard)

• Cold hard boiled egg with a little salt

• Tuna fish open face sandwich or on crackers

Remember to try different cheeses, breads, and crackers for variation. It's surprising how much change it can make.

Treats

• Sliced kiwi and banana
• Unsweetened fruit juice and club soda
• Unsweeteded fruit juice popsicles (make your own)
• Pina colada (unsweetened pineapple juice, pinapple slices and coconut milk combined in a blender to taste; freeze the pinapple to make it colder)
• Other fruit smoothies (see recipe books on main HG page)
• Fresh fruit salad
• Frozen fruit (can be bought in bags at the grocery store)

I'd love to hear other snack ideas that contain 6-8 grams of protein and very little sugar or starch, or ideas for unsweetened treats!
