Smoothies

 

 

For a quick meal, a smoothie is a perfect option. Smoothies, when made with the right ingredients, will give you a nutritional boost without raising your blood sugar level. 

 

To make a diabetes-friendly smoothie, some good options for the base ingredient include plain nonfat yogurt, fat-free milk, almond milk, and even green tea. Next, choose antioxidant-rich and low-glycemic fruits and vegetables, such as apples, blueberries, strawberries, avocados, spinach, cucumbers, kale, and so on. You could also top your smoothie with nuts, flaxseeds, or chia seeds to increase the fiber content that promotes a feeling of fullness. 

 

Here's a great smoothie recipe:  

 

1. Put 1/2 cup of spinach into a blender. 

 

2. Add 1/2 cup of frozen berries like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or a mixture. 

 

3. Add 1/2 cup each of Greek yogurt and almond milk. 

 

4. Add 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder. 

 

5. Blend for a couple of minutes.
