Diabetes nutrition planning should be focusing on what to add to your diet (re: fat, fiber, protein)… not what to take away from it.
.
Our goal is not perfect blood sugars. Our goal is to get to a balanced well-rounded diet that includes all the foods you know and love while also maintaining stable blood sugars as often as we can. ❤️

What other recommendations do you guys have??
.
Ideally when looking for something that’s blood sugar friendly in this category, we’re looking for one of the following:
• more of a nutrient that slows down carb absorption, like fiber or protein
• less sugar
• served in a way that makes carb counting easy

And just like that, it’s smoothie season again 😎
1 medium frozen banana
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1 Tbsp unsweetened peanut butter
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
48g carb, 11g fiber, 18g fat, 42g protein
.
And before you think “But, isn’t that too much carbohydrate for someone with diabetes?” 🤔 Look at the other macronutrients listed. It’s got all the fat, fiber, and protein we need for slower digestion and more stable blood sugars. 👍

You can also use this combo as a base for so many fun low sugar flavored coffee drinks too! And remember, since caffeine can increase insulin resistance for some people, if you find your blood sugars going up after drinking coffee, make sure to drink along with a breakfast that has protein and fiber 👍☕️ #milknhoneynutrition #diabetes #bloodsugar #type1 #t1d #type1diabetes #type2 #t2d #type2diabetes #prediabetes #bloodsugarfriendly
