Want an easy way to get more fiber without adding a bunch of extra prep? 🙋‍♀️ Start with your snacks! Fiber is helpful for blood sugars because it can help slow digestion and the absorption of carbohydrates, which will likely lead to a more gradual rise in blood sugar after eating. (This is what we want!) It also helps with fullness, digestive health, and regularity. And most of us could use more of it! Daily goal: Women: at least 25g fiber/day Men: at least 38g fiber/day Snack time is one of my favorite opportunities to work toward those numbers. When I’m looking at packaged snacks, I look for options with 5g+ of fiber per serving… and bonus points when they have some protein too! Fiber + protein makes a great combination for blood sugar-friendly snacks. But remember: If you’re increasing your fiber intake, do it gradually and make sure you’re drinking enough fluids along the way! #diabetes #bloodsugar #fiber #SnackTime #bloodsugarfriendly
