All the ingredients for the BEST tuna salad with egg recipe (recipe is on my website) and you don’t even really need a kitchen to prepare it (speaking from experience here)!

🥚 HB eggs: buy them already cooked or use an egg cooker
🐟 Tuna: I use canned
🤍 Greek yogurt and mayo
🤎 Pecans
🥬 Celery: Buy it already chopped if you’d like
🧅 Red onion: again buy it already chopped if you want to
💚 various spices
.
Then just mix it all together and chill for a few hours! Full instructions and ingredient quantities are on my website!

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 all types of 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 all types of 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!

7-Ingredient Coconut Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars 🥥🍪 Who wants one?? 🙋🏻‍♀️
.
These are so simple to make ... To grab the recipe: just search “Coconut Pecan” on the recipes page of my website 👉 @milknhoneynutrition

The reason I love grain free desserts has nothing to do with thinking grains are bad or that you shouldn’t eat them... I love grains... just not in desserts for the most part...
.
• Desserts are sweet. They have more sugar than other types of foods.
• Simple sugars (like those in most sugar-containing sweeteners, natural or not) get absorbed quicker than more complex carbs like fiber.
• Grain free, nut-based flours have less carbs and more plant based fats than traditional wheat or rice flours.
• Those plant based fats slow down your digestion and thus slow down how quickly your body absorbs those more simple sugars.
• If you have diabetes, this means blood sugar spikes are less likely. If you don’t have diabetes, it’s still relevant because it means you’ll be less likely to feel that “sugar crash” afterwards.
• And in this recipe, we make our own pecan “flour” by just grinding up pecans in the food processor!
• AND, the end result is much tastier and more satisfying too! 🤤

Did you know the health of your gut (GI tract) can directly impact your blood sugars and diabetes management? We know from decades of research on gut health, the immune system, and diabetes, that there’s a big connection there! So, it’s really important to keep your GI tract nice and happy when you have diabetes ☺️
.
I wrote a full blog post on this over on the @lifewaykefir website coving 7 ways to support your gut health when you have diabetes. One of those ways is to eat probiotic rich foods… like @lifewaykefir !! Head to their website to read the full article!

One of my favorite pasta recipes I’ve ever created!! 🙌💃🏻🍝 SPINACH AND TRUFFLE MUSHROOM PASTA... and it can be ready in under 30 minutes!
.
Anytime someone asks about blood sugar friendly pasta options, Ithink of this recipe! While you can certainly make it with regular pasta, if you need or want it to be more blood sugar friendly (like me) I recommend using a bean or veggie based pasta 👍 (Full recipe is on my website! Just search “truffle” on the recipes page and it’ll come right up!)

MYTH: people with diabetes can’t have bread.
TRUTH: yes, of course people with diabetes can eat bread!
.
There is so much mis-information about this out there and fear based statements that terrify people living with diabetes. It’s simply just not true!
.
Should you go eat a piece of white bread all by itself? Probably not. But, when you combine it with a quality fat, fiber, or protein source, you’re good to go 👍
.
In these examples here, I used a whole grain bread for some added fiber and the toppings offer fat, protein, or fiber which help promote stable post meal/snack blood sugars:
🍳 fat and protein
🥜 fat and protein
🍦 fat and protein
🥑 fat and fiber
.
What’s your favorite toast topper for stable blood sugars??
