Two Great Breakfast Recipes for Diabetics

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.

Two Great Breakfast Recipes for Diabetics

Here are some breakfast recipes for diabetics:

Pancakes with fried banana

100g self raising wholemeal flour

2 eggs, beaten

pinch of cinnamon

300ml buttermilk

Choosing & Cooking Chinese Christmas Recipes

With the Chinese New Year being the most important event in the Chinese calendar, you'd imagine that Christmas got swept under the carpet. Not so, as celebrating Christmas becomes more popular throughout China.

Whilst you won't find the hype and shopping madness of Western countries, in major cities you'll see lights, trees and Christmas decorations on the streets and in stores. Christmas Day is not even a bank holiday in China, although it is in Hong Kong and Macao. Whether this is just part of the Chinese interest in Western culture, or a sales ploy by the big stores, who can say?

Recipes

With an increasing number of Christians, it can only be expected that more people will be celebrating the festive season in China each year. With little tradition and history, cooking for a Chinese Christmas dinner means you can cook any special occasion dish you choose.

Choosing & Cooking Chinese Christmas Recipes

However, there are a few suggestions we can make to get you started:-

  • Peking Duck
  • Cantonese Roast Duck
  • Kung Pao Chicken
  • Cookies
  • Five Spice Peanuts
  • Sesame Seed Balls
  • Spring Rolls

Whilst many of the recipes above are traditionally eaten for the Chinese New Year, they will serve just as well for a Christmas dinner. As always with Chinese cooking, use the freshest ingredients, prepare them well ahead of time, so that all you have to do is cook!

An excellent resource is http://chinesefood.about.com/ which has lots of great recipe and food ideas for every holiday occasion including Chinese cookie recipes.

Low Carb High Protein Recipes

Low carbohydrates high protein recipes have always been popular with athletes. This popularity has exploded in the last 10 years due to the introduction of low carb diets to the public.

The high protein low carbohydrates diet will consist of foods that are high in protein but low in carbohydrates such as, lean hamburger meat, lean steaks, most cuts of lean red meats, all types of chicken, fish, pork chops, pork loins or tenderloin, ham (check bacon), eggs, milk, yogurt, hard - soft - medium cheeses, tofu, soy milk, beans, split peas, peanut butter, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds and a whole lot more.

If your body is consuming the correct balance of low carbs and proteins, this will not only allow your body to shed pounds but in-effect transform areas that use to be problem fatty areas into muscle.

3 Simple and Healthy Breakfast Recipes

The most common reason for skipping breakfast or eating a high-fat breakfast is the lack of knowing how to eat healthier.For example, if I laid out an entire eating plan for you and all you had to do is follow it, life would be great. Sometimes it's not that simple, so here are 3 healthy breakfast ideas for you to get you started:

1. Granola and Fat Free Yogurt - My personal favorite! It's simple, tasty, and very healthy. Start off by getting Fat-Free plain yogurt and your choice of granola. Personally, I look for either high fiber, flaxseed added, or both. Once you have the ingredients, the recipe is simple. All you do is fill your bowl with yogurt and sprinkle a handful of granola on top. For additional great flavor, add fresh fruit!

\"breakfast Recipe\"

One simple bowl can give you up to 25% of your entire day's recommended protein. The best part- you won't feel hungry after eating this healthy breakfast choice and the fiber and protein will give you that added "pep in your step" to make it through your day.

3 Simple and Healthy Breakfast Recipes

2. Fruitty Butter Shake - An excellent source of protein and a great way to start your day- not to mention one of the tastiest shakes you will ever eat! Put all or some of these ingredients into the blender: 10-15 blueberries, 5 strawberries, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 teaspoon flaxseed, 3 tablespoons plain fat free yogurt. These are my favorites, please add or subtract to suite your needs.

This shake does wonders for your energy level and gets you through the day, feeling like you are literally on cruise control!

3. Veggie Shooter! - Everything you can imagine a protein shake being, and more! All you need is an open mind for this one, and get ready to watch your energy levels take off. Again, get the blender out and mix these ingredients: Squeeze 1/2 lemon into the blender and 1 full cup of water, then add chopped celery, cucumber, fresh spinach, carrots, and parsley. Liquify and enjoy!

I like to drink this 1 or 2 times per week. This ensures I am getting the necessary amounts of potassium, magnesium, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C. Another benefit of this shake: you won't get that "full" feeling of a lead ball in your stomach, yet your body will be satisfied for the next few hours!

Healthy Snacks - 4 Quick and Easy Sweet Low-Calorie Recipes That Can Be Done in Almost No Time

Snacks are the meals where it happens easiest that we make unhealthy choices. We might give our main meals a thought, and then we think we eat healthy. But snacks somehow don't seem to count. They are the little things we quickly eat in between, and often we are not even aware of them. Just write down every single bit you eat for one day, and you will be surprised how much you really eat and how much unhealthy things you eat. If you really want to eat healthy, you need to think about what you snack too.

Of course, it's easy and quick to grab that chocolate bar or packet of cookies. But they are packed with calories and calories only. Did you know that many healthy snacks don't really take time and effort to prepare? And that they taste just as great? Here are some quick and easy sweet snack recipes that can transform your diet into a complete healthy one:

\"breakfast Recipe\"

Mashed Banana with Chocolate and Cinnamon

Healthy Snacks - 4 Quick and Easy Sweet Low-Calorie Recipes That Can Be Done in Almost No Time

Mash one large banana, add a teaspoon pure cocoa powder and a teaspoon ground cinnamon and mix well. Bananas are a fruit rather high in calories so it will give you just as much energy as your chocolate bar. And it will provide you with important vitamins too.

Mint Strawberry Yoghurt

Wash and quarter a handful of strawberries and mix them into 125 g plain low-fat yoghurt. Add some fresh or dried mint. This snack is low in fat and does not need sugar as strawberries are naturally sweet. Yoghurt blends you buy often are sweetened and contain colorants and flavors instead of real fruit, so making it yourself is a much healthier option and will only take a few moments of your time. If you like it smooth, you can put the strawberries and yoghurt into your blender for a minute or two.

Vanilla Ice-cream with Raspberry Puree

Mix 250 g fresh raspberries, 2 tablespoons honey and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in your blender until smooth. This will be enough to make a small snack for four. Pour the puree over 2 small scoops low-fat vanilla ice-cream per person. Your kids will love it and you don't have to worry about calories.

Fruit with chocolate sauce

Another recipe your kids will love: Heat up 250 ml low-fat milk until it boils. Mix 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder and 7 g cornflour with a bit of cold milk until smooth. Add to the hot milk, bring to boil and allow to simmer for a few minutes until the mixture thickens. Pour the sauce over any fruit you like. You can prepare the chocolate sauce in advance and keep it in the fridge until you need it. If you wish to sweeten it, add 1 tablespoon of honey whilst it's still hot.

By now, you should have grasped the idea that even sweet snacking can be healthy. The easiest way to create sweet healthy snacks is to use fruit which is naturally sweet and does not need any added sugar. Fruit gives excellent quick and easy to make snacks when combined with low-fat dairy products like milk or yoghurt. With this kind of snacks, you can enjoy the benefits of healthy snacks providing you not only with energy but also valuable vitamins and other nutrients like calcium.

\"breakfast Recipes\"

Strawberry Fields - The Classic Breakfast Shake

Coconut Water Breakfast Shake Recipes - Strawberry Fields, Loco Coco Coffee, and Blueberry Maca Haze

  • 1 1/2 cups of coconut water
  • 1 cup of frozen strawberries. When strawberries are in season, I like to thinly slice and freeze my own. Thinly sliced puree better in the blender, but whole strawberries will work. Let the whole strawberries sit in the blender, submerged in the coco water for a couple of minutes to let them thaw out. Then, add the other ingredients.
  • 1/2 to a whole banana. Sometimes, when I have bananas that I haven't eaten, that get really soft before they're too old, I slice them up and put them in the freezer for my shakes.
  • 1/3 cup of raw oatmeal
  • Splash of orange juice
  • For a protein boost, add two scoops of all-natural, unsalted peanut butter or vanilla protein powder (if you don't mind adding "unnatural" ingredients).
  • Blend for 30-60 seconds

Loco Coco Coffee - The"SpoilurSelf" Breakfast Shake

  • We want about 1 1/2 cups of coffee that were brewed using coconut water. It's better to plan ahead and put the coffee in the refrigerator the night before so it's cold. Coconut water has a very mild sweetness and will be undetectable in your next one or two batches of coffee that are brewed.
  • One medium to large banana that has been thinly sliced and frozen.
  • 2-3 large tablespoons of all natural, unsalted peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup of raw oatmeal
  • Put in the blender and blend
  • While blending, add about 2 or three tablespoons of chocolate syrup, preferably, an all natural, dark chocolate syrup.

Blueberry Maca Haze - Antioxidant Packed - Mayan Warrior Breakfast Shake

  • 1 1/2 cups of coconut water
  • 2 tablespoons of maca powder. Maca is a root, indiginous to Peru that has been used to for thousands of years. It's benefits include: increased energy and endurance, it helps build muscle, it rejuvenates skin and can help improve sexual function.
  • 1 cup of frozen blueberries.
  • 1/2 banana
  • 2-3 large tablespoons of all natural unsalted peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup raw oatmeal
  • Blend for 30-60 seconds

Give these coconut water breakfast shake recipes a try and get your day started on the right foot!

There are many simple Gestational diabetes recipes that do not take long at all to prepare. These are great choices for those who do not have all the time needed for putting together a lunch meal. It is best to stick with 45 grams of carbohydrates for a midday meal.

Some good lunch ideas include:

Bowl of fresh veggies
Turkey sandwich with whole wheat bread, lettuce, and tomato
Small piece of fruit
Boneless, skinless chicken breast (it can be prepared earlier in the day or the night before.)
Tuna

Dinner

Gestational diabetes recipes for dinner usually consist of foods high in protein, such as fish and steak. Both of these are free of carbohydrates.

A few carbohydrates can be allowed with the grilled chicken, salmon, or tuna, however. Some ideas include:

Small serving of pasta
Baked potato
Sugar free yogurt
1 cup of fruit
1 cup of steamed asparagus

Desserts and snacks

Desserts and snacks can be eaten in between meals.

Here is a mini-cheesecake recipe that is very easy to make:

1 Cup of water
Unflavored gelatin
16 ounces of softened and cubed cream cheese
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
3/4 cup of a sugar substitute
2 tablespoons of instant sugar free pudding mix

Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it stand for two minutes.
Microwave the mixture for 40-50 seconds and then stir.
Let mixture stand for a couple of minutes.
Add cream cheese cubes and stir some more.
Put in mixer and blend well.
Add pudding mix, vanilla extract, and the sugar substitute.
Pour into either muffin tins or 8" pie pan.
Put into freezer until firm.

Easy Quinoa Breakfast Recipes

There are plenty of easy quinoa breakfast recipes that you can find online but I'll only share 3 of my favorites. Quinoa is so versatile that you can practically add anything to it without overpowering the other ingredients.

One of my favorite breakfast recipes is the nutty cinnamon quinoa recipe. You will need a cup of low fat milk or skim milk, a cup of water, a cup of quinoa (well-rinsed), 2 cups fresh blueberries or strawberries, ½ teaspoon finely ground cinnamon, 1/3 cup chopped pecans (or any nut that you prefer) and 4 teaspoons organic nectar.

\"breakfast Recipes\"

This is so easy to make, all you have to do is boil the milk, water and quinoa in a saucepan over high heat and then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until most the liquid is absorbed. Turn off the heat and set it aside for 5 minutes while covered. Mix in cinnamon and blueberries and top with the chopped nuts. Drizzle with nectar and serve.

Easy Quinoa Breakfast Recipes

Another easy quinoa breakfast recipe that I like is the hot quinoa breakfast cereal. You will only need a cup of cooked quinoa, thinly sliced apples, seedless raisins, dash of cinnamon, milk and honey. Mix all the dry ingredients together and serve with milk. You can add honey or low-calorie sugar to taste.

The last easy quinoa breakfast recipe that I found is the peanut butter quinoa recipe. For the ingredients, you need a cup of quinoa, 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter, 2 cinnamon sticks, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 cup of milk, roasted pecans, raisins or dried cranberries and any fruits of your choice (bananas, strawberries, peaches).

Boil the quinoa with milk, sugar, cinnamon sticks and peanut butter. Reduce the heat to low until the milk is absorbed. Set it aside and cover it for 5 minutes. Add all the ingredients and serve. Now that's easy right?

7 Easy Breakfast Recipes - Healthy Breakfast in Less Than 5 Minutes

A healthy breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but many of us skip it because of time constraints. Well, now there's no more excuses!

There are several easy breakfast recipes that you can throw together in less time than it takes you to find your keys.

\"Easy Breakfast Recipes\"

Did you know that numerous studies have found that people who eat breakfast are often slimmer than those who don't? One of the main reasons is this: When you sleep, you're obviously not eating for about 8 hours (unless you have some serious sleepwalking cravings). Your body is in a fasted state, so everything slows down. But, the sooner you eat upon waking, the sooner your metabolism is kicked back into gear for the day.

7 Easy Breakfast Recipes - Healthy Breakfast in Less Than 5 Minutes

However, if you skip breakfast, then your metabolism is at a near standstill for all the hours you were asleep, plus the additional hours before your first meal. This is exactly the time when fat settles in and unpacks its bags (and rolls).

And to those who already eat breakfast everyday and are patting themselves on the back, you're not out of the woods yet! Even the most devoted breakfast eater has room for improvement, because a healthy breakfast is the key to weight loss, improved health, and prolonged energy.

Sure, Pop Tarts and bagels will get your metabolism going, but they certainly aren't the healthiest choices. You need a bigger breakfast (around 500 calories) with at least 20 grams of protein to get your body started the right way and keep you satisfied for longer.

OK, this is all getting a bit complicated now, right? How could you possibly have time to make a 500 calorie breakfast with enough protein, vitamins, and minerals to actually do some good?

7 Easy Breakfast Recipes: Healthy Breakfast in Less Than 5 Minutes

If any of these make your mouth water, just follow the easy instructions on how to whip them up before your windshield is defrosted:

  1. Blueberry Smoothie With Toasted-Cheese Sandwich
  2. Prep time: 4 minutes 2 slices whole-wheat bread 1/2 c Kashi Go Lean Crunch! cereal 1 c fat-free milk 1 c frozen blueberries 1 1-oz slice Cheddar cheese Pop the bread into the toaster. Dump the cereal, milk, and berries into a blender and liquefy. Stick a slice of Cheddar between the warm slices of toast and nuke the sandwich in a microwave for 15 seconds. It tastes grilled -- but isn't. Benefits: "The cheese and milk in this meal are essential for building and maintaining new muscle," says Christine Rosenbloom, Ph.D., R.D., a professor of nutrition at Georgia State University. "The whole grains in the bread and cereal will help lower cholesterol, and the minerals in the milk and cheese will help keep blood-pressure levels down." Per meal: 509 calories, 26 grams (g) protein, 75 g carbohydrates, 14 g total fat, 12 g fiber
  3. Grab-and-Go Breakfast
  4. Prep time: 1 minute 1 medium apple 1/2 pint fat-free milk 1 bran Vita muffin 1 pack Skippy Squeeze Stix peanut butter Slice the apple, grab the milk, muffin, and peanut butter, and go. Squeeze the peanut butter out of its pack onto your apple slices as you eat. Benefits: Vita muffins (vitalicious.com) contain 100 percent of your recommended intake of several important nutrients, including vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, and E. Foods high in monounsaturated fats -- like peanut butter -- may boost testosterone levels. This meal should help you burn energy more efficiently and lift more weight at the gym. Per meal: 506 calories, 20 g protein, 87 g carbohydrates, 12 g total fat, 15 g fiber
  5. Minute Omelette with Toast
  6. Prep time: 2 minutes 1 egg 3/4 c frozen spinach, thawed 1 slice Canadian bacon, diced 2 slices whole-wheat bread 1 Tbsp almond butter 1 c Welch's grape juice Stir together the egg, spinach, and Canadian bacon and pour onto a plate coated with nonstick spray. Microwave for 1 minute or until the egg is fully cooked. Toast the bread and eat it with the almond butter. Chase everything with grape juice. Benefits: Monounsaturated fat in the almond spread will help prevent spikes and drops in blood sugar, which can leave you feeling tired or crabby. Grape juice gives you an antioxidant, called resveratrol, that not only helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels but also helps improve bloodflow to the heart. Per meal: 540 calories, 25 g protein, 73 g carbohydrates, 19 g total fat, 8 g fiber
  7. Two PB-and-Banana Wraps With Milk
  8. Prep time: 2 minutes 2 Tbsp peanut butter 2 Eggo Special K waffles 1 medium banana 1/2 pint fat-free chocolate milk Spread a tablespoon of peanut butter over each (briefly microwaved) waffle. Divide the banana between them and roll each to make wraps. Wash down with chocolate milk. Benefits: Eggo's Special K waffles supply complex carbohydrates, which break down slowly in the body and stimulate the production of serotonin, a calming brain chemical. The banana is packed with potassium -- a heart protector. Per meal: 570 calories, 23 g protein, 90 g carbohydrates, 16 g total fat, 7 g fiber
  9. The Santa Fe Burrito
  10. Prep time: 4 minutes 2 eggs 1 c Santa Fe frozen mixed vegetables (black beans, peppers, and corn) 1 flour tortilla 1/2 c low-fat shredded Cheddar cheese 1/4 c salsa Mix the eggs and vegetables and spread the mixture on a plate coated with nonstick spray. Cook in the microwave for 1 minute, stir with a fork, and microwave again until the eggs are cooked and the vegetables warm. Pile onto a flour tortilla, top with shredded Cheddar cheese and salsa, fold, and eat. Benefits: "Without protein, guys can lose muscle mass quickly," says William J. Evans, Ph.D., a professor of geriatrics, physiology, and nutrition at the University of Arkansas. This meal is packed with it. Per meal: 530 calories, 36 g protein, 53 g carbohydrates, 18 g total fat, 6 g fiber
  11. Black-Cherry Smoothie and Peanut-Butter Oatmeal
  12. Prep time: 4 minutes 1 c R.W. Knudsen black-cherry juice 1 c frozen strawberries 1 c frozen unsweetened cherries 2 Tbsp protein powder 2/3 c oatmeal 1 Tbsp peanut butter 1/2 c fat-free milk Blend the cherry juice, frozen fruit, and protein powder until smooth. Microwave the oatmeal according to the directions on the package. Stir in the peanut butter and milk. Benefits: Men who ate at least one serving of whole-grain cereal (like oatmeal) a day had the lowest risk of dying of any cause, including heart disease, according to a 5-year study of 86,000 doctors. Cherries and strawberries are natural sources of salicylates -- the active ingredient in aspirin -- making them ideal for relieving stress-induced morning headaches. Per meal: 600 calories, 27 g protein, 100 g carbohydrates, 11 g total fat, 10 g fiber
  13. Almond-Butter-and-Raisin Sandwich With Smoothie
  14. Prep time: 1 minute 2 Tbsp almond butter 2 Eggo Special K waffles 1 Tbsp raisins 1 Stonyfield Farm smoothie Spread the almond butter on the waffles. Sprinkle the raisins over one waffle and top with the other. Wash down with the smoothie. Benefits: Whole-grain waffles help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and improve your body's processing of insulin and glucose, a benefit that can reduce your risk of becoming diabetic. Per meal: 600 calories, 21 g protein, 86 g carbohydrates, 22 g total fat, 7 g fiber

Of course, you can combine parts of these, opting certain ingredients in and out. Just make sure you are staying close to the same macronutrient breakdown in terms of protein, carbs, vitamins, and minerals.

Bagel Melts

7 Cheap and Easy Breakfast Recipes You Can Make Quickly

Buy a bag of your favorite bagels either from the grocery store or your local bagel shop. Bagels come in so many flavors that you'll never get bored and you can put anything on them.

Instead of the usual cream cheese, make a bagel melt with simple ingredients. Split the bagel in half and spread with mustard. Place slices of cheese, bacon (regular or Canadian) and tomato on top. Place bagel halves on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Breakfast Cookies

Bring some fun to breakfast by making breakfast cookies. There are several healthy breakfast cookie recipes online that are easy to make ahead of time. Both kids and adults will enjoy this morning treat.

Some favorites are banana oatmeal, carrot oatmeal and peanut butter. They can be made with wheat flour, brown sugar, raisins, nuts and even cereal.

Egg Sandwich

Eggs are cheap and very easy to whip up in the morning. You don't have to be a good cook to make scrambled eggs. If you love those fast food egg sandwiches, make your own.

To make a sausage egg sandwich take a biscuit, English muffin or roll and slice it in half. Scramble one egg to taste. Prepare a fresh or frozen sausage patty according to directions. Butter and grill bread slices until lightly toasted. Place sausage patty onto bread and top with egg and cheese slice. Place remaining bread half on top.

Cereal

You should always have one or two boxes of your favorite cereal on hand for a fast breakfast. Cereal is so popular that manufacturers often make coupons available for various brands. Stores often will put certain brands on sale, so keep an eye out and stock up when the price is right.

Fruit Smoothie

Make use of that blender and throw together a quick fruit smoothie. Most smoothie recipes combine fresh fruit like berries, bananas, peaches, mango or pineapple with yogurt, milk, soy milk, sherbet or ice cream. Wheat germ or whey powder can be added for an extra energy boost.

Quick Bread

Quick breads are made with tasty ingredients like carrots, applesauce, pumpkin, squash and zucchini. These should be made ahead of time, as they need about 15 minutes of preparation and 40 minutes to bake.

You can spread your quick bread with honey, butter, fruit spread and cream cheese or eat plain.

Yogurt Parfait

Like those yogurt parfaits you see advertised, but don't want to spend the money? Make your own at home. Grab a bowl and add spoonfuls of your favorite fresh or frozen yogurt. Chop up a granola bar or use bulk granola from the store and add on top. Sprinkle with fresh berries or thawed frozen berries or bananas. Enjoy!
