10 Autoimmune Snacks That Are AIP Compliant

If you’re following the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet, you know how challenging it can be to find snacks that are both satisfying and fully compliant.

It removes common inflammatory triggers like grains, dairy, eggs, legumes, nuts, seeds, nightshades, and processed foods.

People with conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or celiac disease often turn to AIP to identify foods that may worsen symptoms and to create a nutrient-dense eating plan that supports immune balance. The focus is on whole, nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and certain herbs and spices.

10 Low Glycemic Snacks for Balanced Energy & Better Health

10 Low Glycemic Snacks for Balanced Energy & Better Health

When people think of the glycemic index, they often associate it with diabetes — but eating low glycemic foods is beneficial for everyone.

The glycemic index (GI) measures how quickly a food raises your blood sugar after eating. Foods with a high glycemic index (like refined carbs and sugary snacks) can cause rapid blood sugar spikes followed by crashes — leaving you tired, hungry, and craving more sugar.
