Sometimes you may think that a diabetic has more benefits when it comes to nutrition because they have to be healthy. They don't have a choice. A conventional diet that is filled with sugary and starch-based substances that most Americans are used to and does not do much for the body.
When people hear they have diabetes it is often difficult finding recipes for type 2 diabetes and how to adapt to the new plan. There are lots of recipes for diabetes, even cake and dessert recipes for diabetes. It is not a death sentence!
\"breakfast Recipes\"
You often feel so much better after you have had a nutritious meal with fresh fruit and vegetables that would give you a lot more lasting energy throughout the day than a bag of french fries and a coke ever would. Breakfast is a great place to start.
Here are some breakfast recipes for diabetics:
Pancakes with fried banana
2 bananas
100g self raising wholemeal flour
2 eggs, beaten
pinch of cinnamon
300ml buttermilk
- Slice the banana in half and fry with a little olive oil in the pan
- Whisk the flour and buttermilk together. If you would like it thinner then you can add a little milk at the end.
- Whisk in the eggs and add cinnamon
- Heat the pan and when it is hot you can start to make the pancakes.
- Serve with the bananas and sprinkle some diabetic sugar on top.
Fruit Salad and berry compote with yogurt
100g raspberries
Fruit of your choice ( oranges, blueberries, peaches- nothing too sugary)
Natural yogurt
almonds
