Dates
These chewy fruits aren’t much to look at—plain and brown and a little sticky. But pop one in your mouth and you’ll be rewarded with a sweet taste and delightful texture. Their palate-pleasing nature, combined with a generous supply of fiber (7 dates supply 4 g), makes them a perfect diabetes-friendly snack. They’re also jam-packed with antioxidants—with more per serving than grapes, oranges, broccoli, and peppers, according to one study.
How to eat them: Stuff dates with pecan or walnut halves for a satisfying snack, or toss them into breads and cookies.

Dates are a great snack and you can substitute them for other dried fruits in just about any recipe. I buy a variety of dried fruits from Sigonas when I have a chance and cut them up into bite size pieces and them mix them together to make my own mix. Then you can add them to your cereal or cottage cheese or yogurt.
