Spring Time
Is usually when I take healthy eating more seriously, I do eat healthy don't get me wrong but I find snacking to be a problem for me. So in the warmer months I aim for carb free snacks or a snack that has very little carbohydrates in it. I have been having a lot of trouble with my blood glucose levels recently and I feel now is definitely the time to reign in my eating habits and rediscover my carb free snacks.
Spring is a great time for a fresh start and the timing is right for me to have a fresh start beginning with food. I measure 99% of my food and when it comes to crumbed meat at dinner time I usually estimate what the meat would be worth. I really love my carb free snacks in the warmer months so I like to have;
I feel carb free snacks are great because it is like a small break from carb counting, we are always counting carbohydrates so to have food that has no carbs or very little carbs in it I think it is a nice break. There is never a break or a holiday from Diabetes so I think it is nice to be able to have some fun with our food.
The snacks with very little carbohydrates in them that I really enjoy include;
I realise this is a bit of a short post but I did want to share my healthy carb free snacks, if you would like me to share the recipe for the mixed herb ricotta on a square piece of pastry please leave me a comment on this post or on the Facebook page Type One Diabetes & Life.
I hope you enjoy this post and have a wonderful weekend.
Until next time

- Cherry Tomatoes
- Salads
- Carrot Sticks
- Cucumber Sticks
I feel carb free snacks are great because it is like a small break from carb counting, we are always counting carbohydrates so to have food that has no carbs or very little carbs in it I think it is a nice break.

The snacks with very little carbohydrates in them that I really enjoy include;
- Cheese and biscuits, I have 10 small rice biscuits and they are equal to one exchange.
- Mixed herb ricotta on a square piece of pastry topped with a cherry tomato, baked in the oven until golden. This is a very basic snack but also has very little carbohydrates in it.
- Carrot, cucumber sticks with a dip, again a simple snack with very little carbohydrates in it.
