Stomach grumbling or blood glucose a bit low? Reach for one of our top 25 consumer-tasted and dietitian-approved snacks. Diabetic Living's dietitians scoured the supermarkets to find the most nutritious packaged snacks, and a panel of taste-testers (including people with diabetes) ranked the treats. From chips and dip to cookies and popcorn, see which snacks were awarded the Diabetic Living What to Eat Seal of Approval.
How These Snacks Made the List
Selecting smart between-meal munchies is simple if you're satisfied with a basic banana or apple. But sometimes our taste buds scream for something a little more fun and flavorful.
How we chose the best snacks:
1. Diabetic Living's dietitians scoured the supermarkets to find the most nutritious packaged snacks in 25 different categories.
2. In a rigorous taste test, an average of 50 people, including people with diabetes, sampled each snack (with the brand concealed), picking the best among three choices in each category.
3. Based on their ratings, we've awarded the top 25 snacks the Diabetic Living What to Eat Seal of Approval.
