Trying to eat healthier, (edit for me this means lower sugar, less carbs, more protein) and it seems like everything that is sweet, sweet-ish, or a snack but also sold as healthy has peanuts or is peanuts. I'm not allergic to it, but I am tired of peanut butter cookies, peanuts in a snack bar, peanuts on their own, peanuts in a snack mix.

Mixed nuts. Throw in some macadamia nuts now and then. Unsugared dried fruits will help with the flavor profile

I love peanuts like nothing but it can get monotonous after a while

My favorite mix has dried pineapple in it, nothing else changes the nutty flavor as much

FYI, pineapple and watermelon are high on the glycemic index, while most other fruit is considered medium or low. Further, dried pineapple is usually sugared. Most whole fruits, and especially berries, can be eaten in moderate quantity by people watching their blood sugar.
