Who says you can’t have cookies for breakfast?? (Or snack time, or lunch, or dinner, or anytime?? ☺️🍪) Not this dietitian. 😃 I love @simplemills crunchy cookies for how amazing they taste, their simple ingredient list and low sugar content 👌
.
You can now find @simplemills crunchy almond flour cookies at a @krogerco store near you!! The chocolate chip are my favorite flavor and are even better than a certain famous cookie we all knew as kids that look just like this 🍪🍪🍪 ☺️

New product alert!! It’s no secret that I love everything bagel seasoning AND products that help promote stable blood sugars... so, I was very excited to try these new @egglifefoods everything bagel wraps I found at @sprouts 🙌🤤 this flavor is ONLY available at sprouts right now, and it is worth the trip!
.
They are just as delicious as they sound AND are super easy to use to make my latest recipe... Everything Bagel Low Carb Chicken Pizza 🍕 ❤️ click the link in my bio for the full recipe and learn how to turn the @egglifefoods wraps into your new favorite pizza crust 👍
.

Egglife egg white wraps are made of egg whites and seasoning and resemble a tortilla. But their texture and flavor make them a perfect option for a low carb pizza crust. They’re also higher in protein and come in a variety of flavors. Find your favorite flavor at your local @Sprouts ! 💚

I would just like everyone to admire how perfect that salt rim is 👌🙌 I have a very dear friend who worked in the restaurant industry and taught me how to do that (and how to take amazing beverage pictures) and she knows who she is 😘☺️

I wish I could say this was a made up interaction, but some form of this convo has happened to me more times than I can count over the years 🤦🏻‍♀️😑
.
A few takeaways:
1️⃣ Yes, people with diabetes can still eat sugar, and no, eating too much sugar did not give them diabetes.
2️⃣ Diabetes doesn’t care what you look like. All body types can and do develop diabetes.
3️⃣ Most of us are trying our best to manage a disease we have to live with the rest of our lives and hearing about a relative’s amputation isn’t exactly comforting. Next time, try remembering someone you know who has diabetes and is doing awesome!

One of my favorite pasta recipes I’ve ever created!! 🙌💃🏻🍝 SPINACH AND TRUFFLE MUSHROOM PASTA... and it can be ready in under 30 minutes!
.
I posted a question box in my stories yesterday and someone asked about blood sugar friendly pasta options… And I immediately thought of this recipe! While you can certainly make it with regular pasta, if you need it to be more blood sugar friendly (like me) I recommend using a chickpea based pasta 👍 I used the @eatbanza chickpea linguine ❤️ (Full recipe is on my website!)

Sprouts has all sorts of fun, healthy Easter basket fillers, some pictured here and even more linked in my latest blog post. Click the link in my bio to see my top picks!

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! ❤️
