Pair with Protein

Incorporate a protein source like nuts, cheese, or yogurt when consuming Classic Salted snacks to slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, replace some portion of the Classic Salted with whole grain options like whole grain crackers or popcorn, which are digested more slowly.

Consume a fiber-rich food such as raw vegetables, beans, or lentils alongside to help moderate the rise in blood sugar.

Portion Control

Limit the size of your snack portion to manage the amount of carbohydrates consumed at one time.

Be Active

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after consuming the snack to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Time Your Snacks
