Cucumber Crackers

Cucumbers are low in calories – being mostly made up of water, which makes them a perfect snack for quenching thirst and hunger.

According to Organic Facts:

“The flesh of cucumbers is rich in vitamins A, C, and folic acid while the hard skin of cucumbers is rich in fiber and a range of minerals include magnesium, molybdenum, and potassium.”

Tip: Cucumber rounds make the perfect cracker replacement. They are crisp, provide a firm base, and aren’t overly powerful on taste. So you can top them with whatever you like for a super healthy diabetic snack.

Or, even use them as crackers for dips. The idea is to replace your processed crackers with cucumber crackers instead (see recipe below).
