[QUOTE="Frannyk, post: 1475966, member: 401978"] I've been diabetic since I was 8. I know it's not the same as being 2 and having snack times but I definitely can empathise with being a child needing sugar free snacks. My mum used to make AMAZING platters. I have cubes of cheese, chicken legs, a range of different meat, LOADS OF VEG, I used to love this. You can cut it into fun shapes etc to keep it exciting. I've also recently taken part in Sarah Wilson's I Quit Sugar so have been getting more familiar with replacements for sweeter things without sugar or artificial sweeteners. If he wants something sweet, coconut is a great way forward. Coconut cream is low in sugar and tastes really sweet. Peanut butter is also good and I now make my own nutella using roasted hazelnuts, coconut oil, coconut cream, cacao and vanilla all blended. Almond and coconut milk are also pretty sugar free- almond milk more so. There's load stuff of options but it doesn't take research! Hope I've started some ideas but let me know if you've got any more questions. [/QUOTE]
