Happy National Nutrition Month! Our dietitians, Abby and RanDee, have been posting some of their favorite recipes throughout the month of March. This week RanDee is sharing some snack ideas for quick, easy, tasty snacks that beat the snack-boredom blues and won’t break your bank! These snacks are vegetarian and gluten free, as well as diabetic friendly. The garbanzos are moderate in protein and high in fiber, and very low in sodium. The popcorn is a great source of fiber. Impress your guests by serving these as an appetizer at your next casual dinner party, or make ahead and store in a Ziploc for enjoyment throughout the week.
