Make a big batch of this mix and then portion into baggies for take-along snacksSnacking can be an important part of maintaining your blood sugar levels if you have diabetes, but making smart choices between meals can often be tricky, especially when you’re busy or on-the-go. 

That’s why I love the diabetic snack section of Cooking Light magazine; it gives you some great recipes you can make at the beginning of the week and then keep on-hand throughout the day so you stay on track between meals.

Try out this Crisp and Spicy Snack Mix and tell me what you think. And don’t forget to come see your Houston podiatrist for regular diabetic foot exams!
