If you are going to have a small snack what would it be

Would it be savory or sweet? I like Calif rolls.

This is a hard one for me because I have type 2 diabetes, and everything's filled with carbs

What is that, Cherry? Do you mean sushi? That's the only Calif roll I know of.

For the same reasons you stated, Cherry, my normal snack is a slice of jack cheese and some nuts.

Don't California rolls have white rice in them?

I'd prefer a sweet snack over savory though.

Oh, well, I don't usually have them on hand, lol, but DD and I made some for a sushi dinner not long ago.

You could fill them with more fake crab and cucumber so that the amount of rice would be almost negligible. You could also sub brown rice, which would be better for you.

I usually have half an apple sliced in the late afternoon, sometimes with a Fiber One bar which is 90 calories.

depends- if I am having tea, I need a carbohydrate or else I get the "pukies", so it's a granola bar, 100 calorie pack of popcorn, or something with grains.

If I am just having that after school snack, it's cut up veggies, cheese, a piece of fruit, or nuts.

My regular quick snack bits tend to be a good (no chocolates added) trail mix or some plantain chips. I also always keep a bag of baby carrots and stalks of celery in the fridge.

But there are times I get a craving for a good salami/cream cheese wrap or roll. Sort of the opposite of a baby carrot - lol - but sometimes only salami & cream cheese will do in a jaw-salivating emergency.

Today I had a snack of celery and peanut butter. Used to think that the combo sounded so gross, but after trying it, I like it.

I like celery with cream cheese.

I always want sweet, but to keep healthy, I'll eat a handful of almonds, popcorn, or some raw veggies.

I love both - sweet & savory. It really depends on my mood

right now, I am really loving these Chile Picante Inka Corn that I got in one of my foodie subscription boxes.

I happen to love salt and spicey, so this one really is a snack that I enjoy! They are better than cornnuts as they are fluffly while being crispy. No worries about cracking a tooth here!

They look good B. Are they high in carbs?

Why, oh why, do we have to choose?? *stomping feet like a baby pitching a fit*

Sometimes I find that if I have a salty snack I have to follow it with a bite or two of something sweet, and vice versa. I think I've brought that on myself, though.

CB you made me laugh. I recall years ago, my husband and I stopped at a DQ stand ,with my sister and bil.

My sister told my bil what she wanted, and then added, and get me a bag of potato chips to cut that sickening sweet. Thanks for the laugh
