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.

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.
