There’s a big misconception in the diabetes world that people living with diabetes can’t have fruit. This is simply not true! ❌ In fact, we know from research that a diet rich in vegetables AND fruit is preventive against many chronic illnesses including type 2 diabetes, and is also helpful in managing existing diabetes.
.
And, one fruit I hear this myth about more often than others is grapes... but, again... it’s just not true 🤷🏻‍♀️ Grapes have a low glycemic index and can be included in a diabetes-friendly eating pattern. In fact, research has shown that grapes are one of 4 fruits actually associated with a REDUCED risk of type 2 diabetes.
.
I like to pair my @grapesfromca with some of my favorite fat, fiber, and protein sources for the perfect blood sugar balancing bento box!

Rumor has it Houston is getting its first cool front of the season this week so it feels like it’s ok to post about hot chocolate right?! (And yes, highs each day are still in the 80s, but low temps in the 50s get us Houstonians v excited 🙌☺️)
.
Thick, creamy, and blood sugar friendly... not words you’d typically use to describe your favorite hot chocolate, but my recipe for Low Sugar Crock Pot Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate is all three of those things!! And with 4g of fiber and less than 10g of sugar in each cup, you won’t have to deal with spiked blood sugars either 👍 (And it’s dairy free for those that need that as well ☺️)
.
Grab the recipe on my website!!

And, as always, I want to give my thoughts on eating low-carb and diabetes… low carb does not mean no carb. Do you have to follow a low-carb diet? No. Can you if you want to? Absolutely. Regardless of how you answer those two questions, having some good go-to lower carbohydrate recipes can be really helpful when you have diabetes 🎃❤️

I get it.... we’re human. Most of us try to find things in common with someone when we talk to them (whether friend or stranger), a way to relate to each other.
.
If you are living with diabetes, you’ve likely heard a comment like the one above many times… Or maybe it’s that someone’s great aunt had her foot amputated because of diabetes 🙄😑 I get why people say it, but at the same time sometimes it just gets to be really discouraging 😔
.
So, next time you meet someone with diabetes or find out someone you’ve known for a while has diabetes… Tell them a story about someone you know who has diabetes and is doing amazing and thriving! 💃🏻 💯 And if you don’t know anyone... ask questions! It’s so much more encouraging. We hear enough diabetes complications and mortality comments/stories from our doctors. Try talking about people living their best life with diabetes instead! ❤️

Easy Chicken Salad with Grapes and Walnuts is a protein-packed recipe you must add to your lunch and dinner recipe rotation!

One of the things I love about this recipe is how loaded it is with protein. Not only the chicken, but the Greek yogurt too! Protein is one of my favorite nutrient tools for balancing blood sugars.

It pairs perfectly with the nutrient rich carbohydrates in @grapesfromca … Grapes offer potassium, vitamin K, and a super convenient source of hydration too!

It’s everything you need for a blood sugar friendly meal! Click the link in my bio to grab the recipe!

Think about it 🤔 you know it’s true ☺️
.
So your kid wants to dunk all of his veggies in ranch? Let him.
.
You only enjoy veggies cooked in butter? Do it.
.
Trying to learn to enjoy spinach but inside a cheesy omelette is the only way you like it? Enjoy it!
.
Instead of lamenting how plain, boring veggies arent appealing to you or your family, embrace the way you (and they) actually enjoy eating them ❤️
