I can't hide that I'm no chef. Barely allowed in the kitchen, truth be told. I burn things that shouldn't burn. Like tops of toaster ovens. However, I can do some serious assembling and try to keep snacks on hand to nurture my fluctuating blood sugar. Here are a few nibble-worthy suggestions to grab on the go.

Grocery list:

Individual-sized containers of Greek yogurt

Mixed nuts

Nutrition bars

Eggs

Individual-sized cheese such as string cheese and Babybel

Apples

Bananas

Carrots

Celery

Whole wheat tortillas

Hummus

Granola

Dried fruit

Raw almonds

Brown rice cakes

All-natural nut butter

Snack list:

1. Greek yogurt: top with granola and slices of banana.

2. Nuts: keep some in your bag to pack a tasty punch of fiber and protein.

3. Nutrition bars: look for bars with 5 to 10 g of protein, little sugar, and less than 200 calories.

4. Hard-boiled eggs: protein-rich, low-calorie bite.

5. Individual sized cheese and fruit: pair your string cheese with a batch of grapes for a protein and sweet-filled snack.

6. Whole wheat tortilla and hummus: slather hummus or nut butter onto a whole wheat tortilla for a yummy protein-rich treat.

7. Granola mixed with dried fruit: mix up a small portion of granola and dried fruit with no sugar added. Sprinkle in almonds for more protein and crunch.

8. Brown rice cake topped with nut butter: this fluffy treat offers a nice blend of sweet and savory.

9. Carrots, celery, and hummus: dip your veggies into protein-rich hummus for a crunchy treat.

10. Apple: pack whole fruits such as apples or bananas. Tote an apple slicer to cut into bit-sized pieces. Top slices with nut butter for an additional protein.
