Munchies and Cravings
Greetings my fellow diabetics!
I'm curious to know what you go for when a mad case of munchies strikes? I wouldn't dare reach my little hand into a bag of chips or down a slice of cake, so I have come up with some creative alternatives over the years. Now I'm wondering: What's your vice?
For salt cravings I usually eat a hand full of nuts or maybe some popcorn. Wheat Thins and I have also become close friends. For chocolate cravings, I make chocolate milk (sugar free chocolate syrup) or hot cocoa (also sugar free) although sometimes, I savor a small hand full of semi-sweet chocolate chips... weird? yes. but delicious.
Your turn!

[as I'm typing, I realized i might not have been snacking probably] whoops. Probably best I follow this and check my alternatives out!

Celery with raw almond butter, nuts, frozen berries, a cup of almond milk (low carb), string cheese, few squares of 70% dark chocolate. I try to stay away from any chemically processed sugar free foods.

Celery with handground peanut butter (only peanuts in it); half a square of unsweetened baking chocolate (guaranteed you won't immediately go back for more). Oh, and I also do well with a little no sugar jello and a couple of tablespoons of cream, mix it all up like a chiffon. A hard boiled egg can be a snack, too.

I love to snack on celery and peanut butter. String cheese is a good go to for salty stuff for me. I found a really good dark chocolate covered coffee bean to help me with my chocolate cravings. Sounds weird but really delicious

Sounds good! I recently discovered dark chocolate covered goji berries and I love them!
