Eating healthy around the holidays can be a challenge, especially for diabetics who need to watch their carbs but also make sure to take in healthy protein. Here are five delicious snacks that will satisfy everyone’s appetite.
1. Crudites with hummus: Raw veggies like carrots, celery, and bell peppers are low-carb and high in fiber. Pair them with a protein-rich dip like hummus for a satisfying snack.
2. Grilled shrimp skewers: Shrimp is a great source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Grill them on skewers with some veggies like cherry tomatoes and zucchini for a delicious appetizer.
3. Chicken satay: Skewered chicken marinated in spices and grilled or baked is a flavorful and protein-packed party food. Serve with a peanut sauce made with natural peanut butter and low-sugar ingredients.
4. Caprese skewers: Skewer cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves for a delicious and low-carb party food. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil for extra flavor.
5. Deviled eggs: Hard-boiled eggs are a great source of protein and healthy fats. Make a batch of deviled eggs with a mixture of mayo, mustard, and herbs for a tasty and low-carb party snack. Swap out mayo for Greek yogurt to make it even healthier.
