11 Delicious Diabetes-Friendly Dip Recipes

The snacks aisle at the grocery store is a minefield if you’ve been told to watch your intake of sugar, salt, and saturated fat. With a little easy prep in the kitchen, however, you can replace packaged junk foods and gloopy fatty dips with vibrant and crowd-pleasing dips that won’t spike your glucose level.

How do you prepare a diabetes-friendly dip? Start by pairing high-fiber legumes and veggies like chickpeas, beets, and avocados with healthy fats and protein sources, and then rely on fresh herbs, citrus, and spices to bring the flavors.

These dips are zesty and bright, even though they’re not packed with sugar and salt. Just don’t scoop them up with highly refined and processed foods like tortilla chips or crusty white bread — instead, choose fresh raw veggies, whole-grain crackers, or even slices of apple or pear.

All Everyday Health recipes meet expert-developed nutrient goals, considering several dietary guidelines. Learn more about the methodology used to develop and tag each of the recipes on this list as diabetes-friendly.
