ANDS Staff created healthy snack guide. We would like to encourage
you make time for at least 1-3 healthy snack each day. Snacks take the
edge off, keep blood sugars stable, prevent overeating at meals, etc.,
etc., etc. Make your snack high in fiber and include some protein.
This will keep you feeling full longer
