A naturally sweet snack, ideal for diabetics.

Grabbing a piece of fruit between workouts may seem like the healthy option, but if you're calorie counting, you need to be aware of what fat, sugar and nutrients are contained within it, particularly if you are affected by diabetes.

Pomegranate is higher in carbs and lower in fat than any other fruit, making this dish a great mid-afternoon snack to feed glucose to the brain. Both the juice, and the seeds help manage glucose levels, and are packed with antioxidants.

Mangoes are bursting with natural sweetness but studies have shown that, eaten in moderation, they actually help the body manage it's blood sugar levels.

Pumpkin seeds are a rich source of zinc and manganese, which helps the body to release energy from foods.

Agave Nectar is a natural sweetener with a relatively low GI which has healing properties, whilst the Greek yogurt adds calcium amongst other nutrients.

A sweet treat which helps regulate blood sugar, and is packed with vitamins, this is ideal for grabbing on the go.

Ingredients

  • ¼ mango, chunked
  • 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • Pomegranate
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Agave Nectar

Method

  1. Mix all ingredients into a bowl and serve.
