What can I offer with coffee rather than cakes and biscuits?

You can buy sugar free sweet biscuits. I have never tried them so I don't know what they are like. Diabetics have to watch carbs and fats as well so savoury options are not always ideal.

Bagels?

Cheese and crackers?

Cucumber sandwiches?

Fruit or nuts?

Perhaps some blinis topped with smoked salmon, cheese or other savouries.

I have good friends who come and have coffee at my home because they know my deafness makes it difficult for me to follow conversations in cafes etc. because of the background noise. I’m very grateful for this and always try to offer nice cake or biscuits with the coffee. However more and more of my friends are having to eschew such things due to diabetes, heart disease etc. what can I offer instead? I’d like it to feel like a bit of a treat. Any suggestions?
