Also, the choice of carbohydrate (green apple) with some protein (pure beef stick) will balance blood sugar.
Best 100% pure beef sticks include:

5. Avocado toast on sprouted bread (low sugar + on the go)
During anytime of day, you can’t go wrong with avocado toast on some sprouted bread toasted (a favorite is Dave’s Killer Bread) with salty butter. Delicious. My favorite topping is sesame seed blend called, Everything but the bagel. It will not disappoint. This can also be made on a busy morning, takes about 5 min to make and take it to go on a paper towel. Perfection.

7. Sesame and Date power ball (low sugar + on the go)
One more of the best low sugar snacks on the go would be the sesame and date power ball, low sugar of course. If you’re home chef try the recipe from Baking the Goods, it’s a delicious blend of grounds nuts, protein powder, and chewy soft dates. I omitted the cardamom, but suite yourself.
As a source of protein, magnesium, iron and vitamin E, just one spoonful of sesame seeds can help you meet your daily nutrition requirements.

8. Peanut butter stuffed dates with LILYS chocolate drizzle (on the go)
When it comes to best low sugar snacks on the go, you cannot forget about the peanut butter stuffed date. So in order to keep this snack low sugar, just keep an eye on the quantity eaten. Dates in it of themselves can be higher in sugar, so quantity if key here. I find when trying to limit sugar, it’s beneficial to keep “natural healthy sweetened snacks” flowing. When limiting sweets, often you don’t feel like you’re missing out if there are low sugar alternatives around. This is a goof tip to eating less processed sugar!
With a sharp paring knife, simply slice open the dates lengthwise. Remove the pit. Using a butter knife, place about 1/4 tsp natural peanut butter inside the date. Gently close up the date, and place on a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet. Chill in fridge. Melt chocolate chips, and drizzle onto the dates. Or, dip the date into the melted chocolate. Store in fridge, enjoy!
9. Cream Cheese stuffed dates with pecans
(low sugar + on the go)
Similar to the peanut butter stuffed dates, these cream cheese stuffed dates are again one of the best low sugar snacks on the go. Protein comes from the cream cheese, if choosing low-fat these can even be low fat treat, in addition to being low sugar.
10. Spelt flour pretzels with dip (low sugar + on the go)
Spelt pretzels for again, one of the best low sugar snacks on the go! Spelt is a whole-grain, and very high in fiber. See what Web MD says about spelt below.
Potential Health Benefits of SpeltWhole-grain spelt is an excellent source of fiber. Fiber helps to slow your digestion, which helps to reduce blood sugar spikes after eating. Fiber from whole grains may also help to reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Any of these amazing pretzels will be great for an on the go snack. Now for the dip selection. When choosing a dip for the pretzel snack be sure to watch the carbohydrate and sugar content. A dip to high in carbs and sugar can ruin a slow-digesting spelt pretzel. Buyer be warned. Here’s some low sugar dips that are favorites!
11. Low-Glycemic Protein bar (low sugar + on the go)
High glycemic bars raise blood sugar, are usually full of garbage ingredients and are processed very quickly. Being hungry shortly after eating them is a common side effect.
However when consuming a low-glycemic protein bar the body utilizes the nutrients, and their slowly absorbed so the blood sugar doesn’t spike. Which in turns means eating less, more satiated, and less inches around the waist due to too much sugar.
Here’s a roundup of some favorites!
Top favorite low-glycemic protein bars:
Aloha bars, 14g protein, 10g fiber, 5g sugar, comes in 5 flavors
ONE protein bars, 20g protein, 1g sugar, comes in 8 flavors including doughnut and fruity cereal
This is a nutritious but super tasty snack. Tomatoes are full of Lycopene, an antioxidant which is touted for protecting the body against some diseases and some cancers. According to Tomato Brief.com
Fresh mozzarella cheese provides the protein in this snack which will keep the blood sugar from spiking after indulging. It has a milk flavor, a creamy texture and is just right when eaten with a tomato.
Basil is the perfect pairing herb because it is slightly sweet and provides a little bite to the mix.
Variation:
Try adding Balsamic Glaze to the delicious treat to make it taste even better! You will not be sorry. One of my favorites is Gia Russa.
Also try having this on a piece of sprouted whole-grain toast!
14. Hippeas, chickpea puffs (low sugar + on the go)
One of the best low sugar snacks on the go. This snack is like a cheese curl, but is totally low sugar and completely vegan. Its salty, but not overdone, they have some cheese flavor and also has a great ingredients list. Check them out, Hippeas Chickpea Puffs!
