High Calory,High Protein Snacks

[baldridgem]

My sister, Jane. Dr. told her she needs mor protein and calories. Any suggestion for snacks that don't have a lot of sugar. She's pre-diabetic

Cheese sticks, yogurt with artificial sweetener or just plain fruit stirred in, hard-boiled eggs, peanut butter on rice cakes are just a few that come to mind quickly. Is your sister GF too? If so, make sure the rice cakes and yogurt are GF.

Peanut butter. Any nuts will be good. not sure what the glycemic index on most beans is, but there are lots of ways to make those into a snack as well. Cheese on some rice crackers (preferably whole grain, not sure where to find them but diamond nut things might be a good option) would be good depending on the cracker.

Boost is tolerable, glucerna is actually good IMO butter pecan is the best if you are looking at diabetic nutritional drinks.

Nuts and nut butters, sunflower seeds, avocados, cheese cubes, sliced deli meat rolled up with cream cheese.
