#ad Afternoon energy slump? Before you reach for another cup of coffee, try building a more balanced snack instead. 🍇 One of my favorite snack formulas is simple: ✔️ Protein
✔️ Produce
✔️ Plant-based fat or fiber This combination can help you stay fuller longer, support more stable energy levels, and (if you have diabetes like I do) promote better blood sugars, too. Here are three of my favorite combinations featuring @grapesfromca
🍇 Plain Greek yogurt + California Grapes + walnuts
🧀 Cheese + California Grapes + whole grain crackers
🥜 Turkey + California Grapes + pistachios California Grapes are in peak season right now, making them an easy, delicious addition to lunchboxes, after-school snacks, or your own afternoon pick-me-up. Plus, they're a source of vitamin K and naturally occurring antioxidants and polyphenols. Research over the past 25+ years has also shown that table grape consumption may support heart, brain, eye, skin, and gut health. Remember: eating for better blood sugars isn't about avoiding carbs or fruit…it's about building balanced meals and snacks that work for you.
