Evening
Was just after some suggestions on snack ideas for type 1 diabetics? I tend to give our 3 year old son the same sort of snacks each week, but think he's getting bored of them ie, cucumber, biscuit, fruit etc.

Any ideas on low carb snacks much appreciated. Still relatively new to all of this!

I'm sure I've seen another similar question recently, so if you don't get any suggestions, perhaps have a search for this.

But what about cheese, yoghurt with a few fresh berries, or make some little low carb microwave muffins, cookies, or little fat balls with coconut oil? I assume he's too little for nuts?

At this time of year strawberries and raspberries are great, and only about 6g/100g!

Cream cheese on cracker or rice cake or as a dip
Avocado - as it is or mushed and used as a dip or spread

Also... Mini milk ice lollies are only 5g carbs each so nice as a treat. I'm an adult and like to have one so I don't feel left out when everyone eating icecreams!
