Blood-Sugar Balancing Emergency Kits

These are my tried + true, always have on-hand ingredients for those moments when you:

• don’t have time to grab lunch

• on-the-go

• after-school snack for kids

• traveling

Here’s the formula:

Beef Stick | Salted Pistachios | Hu Chocolate | Fruit or One-Ingredient Fruit Bar

The reason I love this combo so much is because you get a well-rounded amount of protein, carbs, + fat to keep you satisfied + without compromising with unnecessary added sugars, processed carbs, or crummy ingredients.

I normally fast when I’m traveling, but in case of emergencies, I always have these 4-5 snacks on me.

Pro-tip: never eat a naked carb. I believe I heard this from Dr. Mark Hyman. Essentially, if we eat carbs or sugar without combining it with a fat or a protein, our blood sugar can sky-rocket. If this becomes a habit over time, we can develop insulin resistance, where our body doesn’t respond as well to the hormone, insulin, which helps our body break down glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream to be used as energy. When the cells become resistant to insulin, this can lead to higher levels of glucose in the blood.
