Spaghetti and diabetes! 🍝 did you think they couldn’t co-exist?? Well, they can! There’s lots of ways to enjoy spaghetti and make it more blood sugar friendly... here’s how I do it...
☑️ Choose a pasta that is made from beans or lentils. This adds more protein and reduces the carbohydrate count some. I prefer the texture of chickpea pasta personally. And here’s a tip: rinse your pasta after you’re done cooking it, and before you add any sauce… This will get rid of any gumminess and prevent it from sticking together.
☑️ Choose a pasta sauce with less (or none) added sugar.
☑️ Add your favorite veggies to the sauce for added flavor and fiber.
☑️ Add protein with your favorite lean meat or tofu.
.
Now, for the real question... how do you eat your spaghetti? Do you twirl it on your fork, or do you eat it wrong? 😉

Cheers! 🥂🎉 I’ve got a new blog post up as we head into the weekend all about Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and how to safely consume alcohol, if you choose to drink it 👍
.
Unfortunately, this is a part of life with diabetes that many people often feel confused over… I’ve seen physicians tell people absolutely not, to never drink it… Or to say oh yeah sure it’s fine, with little to no guidance at all.
.
Both of these approaches are not fair to you as the person living with diabetes. It’s important that you feel equipped with the knowledge of how to consume alcohol safely and responsibly if you want to.
.
Click the link in my bio for the blog post to covers my 5 rules for consuming alcohol safely if you have diabetes 👍

Ok, so this is kind of embarrassing, but I recently had to google how to hard boil an egg 🤦🏻‍♀️😬 I would typically buy them already hard boiled but forgot them that week at the store and it had been so long since I’d hard boiled one myself, that I honestly couldn’t remember how 🙈 I also realized that the already hard boiled ones don’t even compare in flavor to eggs that are freshly boiled... like holy cow the eggs I made that day were SO fresh and delicious tasting!
.
But anyways...
.
I ended up putting one of the eggs in a bento box for lunch that day along with everything else you see here 😍 including some of my copycat heavenly hunk oatmeal chocolate chip cookies 🙌❤️ grab the recipe on the Recipes page of my website (link in bio) 👉 @milknhoneynutrition

Throwback to when I could squat 135 pounds! 💪 My workouts look a lot different these days, but I don’t enjoy having my picture taken while I exercise so this is the photo you get 😆 ... but anyways, head to the link in my bio for my latest blog post all about diabetes and exercise… What impact does exercise have on blood sugars? And what are the proper safety measures to take for exercise when you have diabetes? I cover everything you need to know for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes!
.
Now tell me, what is your preferred way to exercise? … that you actually enjoy!

Simple Dinner 👉 my Crunchy Pistachio Chicken Salad on sandwiches 🥪😎
.
This is my go-to recipe for chicken salad... head to the recipes section on my website 👉 @milknhoneynutrition ... just search for “chicken salad” on the recipes page and it’ll pop right up 👍
.
I grew up eating chicken salad all the time... It’s delicious, and it’s super easy to throw together 🙌 I love the combination of all the different textures and flavors… You can have it in a sandwich like I did here, use it like a dip with crackers and veggies… Or just eat it by the spoonful 🤷🏻‍♀️💃🏻☺️
.
Chicken salad also offers a great protein and fat buffer for blood sugars. Any potential blood sugar spike that may have come from those slices of bread pictured above were warded off by the protein and fat content of the chicken salad. Protein and fat (and fiber) all help to slow down how quickly your body digests your food and thus slows down the rise in blood sugar. This means your insulin (whether it comes from your pancreas or is injected) can keep up with the rise in your blood sugar and things stay nice and steady 😎👌
.
What do you put in your chicken salad??

It’s officially time for our quarterly PSA!! ☺️❤️
.
There’s a big difference between a host or hostess asking:
.
“Can you eat ______, I was thinking about making it when you come over?”
.
And someone who says:
.
“Are you sure you should be eating that?”
.

One shows thoughtfulness, care, and consideration for someone. The other shows a lack of sensitivity and outright judgement about what is appropriate for someone else.
.

I love when people check with me to make sure something they’re preparing or serving is ok for me to eat. It shows me they genuinely care about me. But just a slight change in wording can completely shift how someone with diabetes feels... suddenly they feel as if they’re being judged and all those feelings of isolation, awkwardness, and guilt come flooding in. Yes, I’m speaking from personal experience here. Please choose your words carefully this summer. ❤️ #letusenjoyouricecream

Summer snack tray goals for the win! 🙌 I think it’s safe to say we are ALL excited to make Summer 2021 much better than Summer 2020!! And I personally plan to be more present and enjoy time with friends and family who I didn’t get to see last year ❤️
.
I’ve talked about my love for snack meals and easy 5 minute meal solutions for years and this summer I plan to use that concept a lot! Rather than spend hours in the kitchen, whether it’s just a weeknight meal or a get together with friends, take the easy route that allows you to be more present and more energized, like the snack tray above. I’ve loaded it up with some delicious and nutritious snacks, and you can have this ready in under 15 minutes.
.
And the stars of the show in the middle are the perfectly scoopable @simply7snacks Sea Salt Lentil Chips! They go perfectly with pretty much anything, especially a snack tray! With 3g protein in each serving (and nut free), they’re the perfect summer snack!
.
