Blood Sugar Friendly Healthy Platter

Are you entertaining soon? It can be difficult to pick a platter which is tasty and helps to keep your blood sugar levels in a healthy range. Here is a must-save blog to use whenever you have visitors over or need a platter to bring to a celebration or event.

Corn Thins®

A smart choice to add to your platter are Corn Thins slices. In 3 slice of Corn Thins Original there is 12.8g of carbohydrates and includes 1.3g of dietary fibre. Good news for your heart health is it has lower than 400mg of sodium per 100g with only 259mg per 100g. A bonus is there is no gluten present so is appropriate if you have celiac disease or are gluten intolerant.

Veggie Sticks

Adding vegetable sticks are a great way to add in extra fiber for fullness and fiber also helps to slow the release of sugar into your blood. Some ideas could be carrot, celery, capsicum, or cucumber sticks.
