Finding the perfect snack can be tricky when you’re short on time, or simply overwhelmed by the amount of options on supermarket shelves. Add in a diabetes diagnosis and the search for a suitable and satisfying snack may feel impossible.

Whether you’ve been newly diagnosed with diabetes, you’re managing a gestational diabetes diet or you have been living with diabetes for years, we can help make snacking simple.

Firstly, what makes a super snack? The key is to find (or make) ones that contain fibre, protein and good quality carbohydrates. This magic combination helps you feel fuller for longer. If you’re looking for a sweeter snack, making your own is a great way to control what goes in it, and you can also use a low sugar sweetener like Splenda to keep your calorie count down and your blood sugar levels in check.

We’ve got three low sugar snack recipes that are diabetes-friendly, simple to make and will keep you satisfied. All three recipes are made using Splenda Sachets – available at Coles and Woolworths.

Splenda Sachets

Fun fact: did you know that Splenda Sachets contain the same amount of sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar? That means you get more sweetness per sachet compared to other low-calorie sweetener brands. These convenient sachets can be used as more than just a substitute for honey or sugar in your morning coffee or tea. They can also be used to sprinkle into your oats, smoothies, sauces, homemade sugar free soft drinks and even in ice blocks to give them a sweet burst of flavour, with fewer calories.
