Nothing quite says it’s summer time like okra! It’s super easy to prepare and is so tasty. You can bake it, deep fry it, and even air fry it! Okra is packed with a whole host of nutrients associated with positive health outcomes: antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin A, magnesium, folate, and… one of my favorites for blood sugar management… fiber! What’s your favorite way to enjoy okra??

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. ❤️

Replying to @kathleenmartinp20 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. 👍
