    I love peanut butter on a banana. Or whole, raw almonds. Or 0% fatGreek yogurt (high protein), with stevia and shelled, unsalted pistachios. Or the same yogurt but with stevia, cinnamon and sliced almonds Yummy

    Popcorn :) If you get used to just air popped it is very low in calories. I know it's not diabetic but If I am craving chocolate like crazy I will melt some in the microwave and drizzle it over the popcorn for a sweet and lower in calorie treat :)

    I think frut is the best way to go for snacks, I like apple slices with peanut butter. The peanut butter will fill you up because of the protein and the apple will provide much needed nutrition and fibre.

    Here's a really good one!

    Pineapple Angel Food Cupcakes

    1 box Duncan Hines Angel Food cake (add water only kind)
    1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple in its own juice.

    Mix dry cake mix and pineapple together (no water). Batter will seem “foamy” at first. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes and batter will settle. Fill cupcakes 2/3 full. Place batter in fridge between batches and it bakes better. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 min or golden brown.

    Delish and only 69 calories each, fat free! I put the nutritional content in the food data base under "generic pineapple angel food cupcakes". Enjoy!
