Snack recipes for someone with no teeth, needing low/lower carb sweetish things

[soupfiend]

So my dad cant eat nuts (easily) or crunchy things (easily) but likes a snack and has been told to cut out sugars as much as he can.

He is very elderly, loves cooking and sent me a recipe earlier for something he will try to cook as being lower carb, its bloody banana bread! He sees this as a nice snack in the evening

Thing is, all my lower carb type recipes and snacks consist of nuts or nut type things

I think he would like the cheese and almond crackers that I saw on another thread but thats a savoury thing, any ideas for things not too hard or crunchy, not too high in carbs?

I dont want him eating artificial sweetners or anything

(also, he does have some teeth here and there)

Good idea, you are so lovely for thinking of him and his dentition/nutritional needs. Happy snacking!

Well its sweet snacks he is looking for more, something snacky in the evening.

No, the lack of teeth would mean celery would probably choke him to death quicker than diabetes will!

Fair point re celery! Rice pudding sounds like a good bet

Could he have some nut butter on a spoon, or on baby gem leaves or cucumber with the skin cut off.
Strips of frittata
Hard boiled eggs

LOLwut? They most certainly do cause glucose spikes in most diabetics. What on earth would mean that the sugar they contain is not enough to spike people? There's not enough fibre to offset the sugary carbs.

Does he like ice lollies?

This recipe Chocolate Coconut Popsicles - thekitchensinkblog.com is really nice. I have no idea what date syrup is so I just don't include that.
If he just licks it, it will take a long time to eat.

There are lots of yoghurt and fruit ice lolly recipes out there that are low in sugar if this is something you think he might like.

You can also do healthy ice cream just by freezing banana or mango and then blitzing in a blender until they are soft and creamy.

This suggests not but I dont know where the actual evidence has come from

I'm eating loads of plain Greek yogurt with homemade apple compote at the moment, with a bit of cinnamon on top. It's lovely.
