By now you probably know that fiber is your best friend when it comes to losing weight and lowering your high blood numbers (and if you didn’t.. well now you sure do! 😉).
So you’re going to love these 10 high-fiber dishes you can whip up week after week!
With that said, we hope you’ll enjoy this month’s Success Recipes:
Diabetic-Friendly Recipes That Help Balance Blood Sugar 🎉
Here are a few of this month’s recipe highlights:
Berries are the star in this salad and are perfect to help you stabilize your blood sugar and satisfy sugar cravings because they are naturally sweet but also low glycemic. They balance the spicy rocket (arugula) in this dish perfectly!
Rocket is in the dark leafy green family and crucial to helping you lose weight, improve gut health and heal your body as a whole. Quinoa adds protein and fiber and is one of the most crucial ingredients to add to help you reduce blood pressure and sugars.
Green beans and almonds also contribute protein to the mix as well as tons of fiber to help keep your digestion healthy and regular. Topped with a balsamic dressing, this salad is sure to satisfy and is super pleasing to the eye as well!
This is your new go-to soup when you feel a cold coming on! It’s packed with fiber and vitamin C rich veggies and spices to help boost your immune system and clear your sinuses.
The abundance of peppers, yams, tomatoes and lentils are what provides your body with antioxidants, polyphenols and plant based protein that help it heal. Lentils in particular are a source of soluble fiber that can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream, reducing risk of cardiovascular disease. This also makes the dish super satisfying to help you stay on track with your weight loss goals.
These are also easily customizable to use up whatever veggies or beans you have on hand as well. It can be made with shelf stable vegetables and pantry items only and still pack a major nutritional punch!
Store bought protein bars are usually packed with sugar and preservatives so we want you to have something you can whip up at home for when you need a pick-me-up on the go.
The combination of chickpeas, peanuts and oats provide a full spectrum of amino acids to help your body repair and fuel up on protein. They also are full of fiber and healthy fats to help you feel satisfied, balance your blood sugars and reduce bad cholesterol. Because these two nutrients help your body stabilize blood sugars, you can enjoy a little maple syrup here as well.
We do want you to enjoy this in moderation as it’s calorically dense and meant to be eaten in small portions.
