Whether you’re running a business, managing a packed social calendar, or traveling frequently, your time is valuable—and so is your health. You know that diabetes requires mindful eating.  The reality is:

• You don’t always have time to prepare full meals.
• You need something convenient—but not a sugar-laden snack bar.
• You want sustained energy—not a quick fix that leads to a crash.

The challenge? Most snacks are either not truly blood sugar-savvy, quite unsatisfying, or impractical for a busy lifestyle.

That’s why I created Energy-Boosting Superfood Cottage Cheese Chips—a crunchy, satisfying, and blood sugar-friendly snack that supports a busy schedule, for a health conscious person living with diabetes.

Why Most Snacks Fail You

If you’ve ever grabbed a snack on the go, you’ve probably encountered:

• Protein bars with hidden sugars—leading to energy crashes.
• Packaged snacks marketed as "healthy"—but filled with processed carbs.
• Low-fat options that lack real nutrition—leaving you hungry again in an hour.

You need something light yet sustaining, delicious yet functional, and full of real nutrients to keep you feeling your best throughout the day.

The Perfect Balance: Energy-Boosting Superfood Cottage Cheese Chips

These crispy, flavourful chips combine healthy fats, fibre, and antioxidants to give you steady energy—without spikes or crashes. They’re easy to make, portable, and fit into any busy schedule.

What Makes Them a Smart Choice?

• Rich in MCTs from coconut flakes – Provides long-lasting fuel.
• Cinnamon and nutmeg – Helps regulate blood sugar naturally.
• Pumpkin seeds – Loaded with magnesium for energy and stress relief.
• Avocado oil – Supports heart health and satiety.
• Low in carbs, high in nutrients – A snack that works with your body, not against it.

The Recipe: Energy-Boosting Superfood Cottage Cheese Chips

Servings: Makes 6 servings (about 4-5 chips per serving).

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat) – High in calcium and slow-digesting energy
• 2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes – Rich in MCTs for steady fuel
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon – Helps regulate blood sugar
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg – Adds a warm, slightly sweet flavour
• 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds – Packed with magnesium and healthy fats
• 1 tsp avocado oil – Provides healthy fats for satiety

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Blend cottage cheese in a food processor for a smoother texture.
• Mix in coconut flakes, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin seeds until well combined.
• Drop spoonfuls onto the baking sheet and spread into thin, chip-sized circles.
• Lightly brush or drizzle avocado oil over the chips.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
• Let cool completely before enjoying!

Best Time to Enjoy These Chips

For optimal blood sugar balance and sustained energy, these chips are best enjoyed:

• Mid-Morning: A perfect light snack between breakfast and lunch to keep energy steady.
• As a Side to Lunch: Pair with a protein-rich meal for added crunch and fibre.
• Pre-Workout or Pre-Meeting: A great option before physical activity or an important meeting to avoid energy dips.

Storage Tips to Keep Them Fresh

To keep your cottage cheese chips crispy and fresh:

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days (reheat in the oven for 5 minutes to crisp them up again).
• Avoid humidity – If they soften, pop them back in the oven at 300°F for a few minutes to restore crunch.
• For on-the-go travel, pack them in a resealable bag or container to keep them fresh.
