Hi !
Breakfast Smoothie :
Here’s a great breakfast-on-the-run that you can prepare ahead of time. (Yields about 4-6 servings.) It’s high in protein, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, calcium, and fiber.
1 container low-fat cottage cheese
Splenda or stevia to taste
1 cup frozen strawberries (thawed, include juice)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup or so 1% milk (according to desired consistency)
Directions :
Combine all ingredients in blender except walnuts. Blend until smooth. Add walnuts. Keeps in refrigerator up to one week.
Cream of Vegetable Soup :
Broccoli contains beta carotene, an antioxidant that attacks free radicals responsible for diseases in the body (like cancer). Broccoli and cauliflower are cruciferous vegetables found to be protective against colon cancer. (Nutrition and Cancer, 1987)
2 large broccoli heads
2 large containers fat free chicken broth
1 large head cauliflower
1 large container Land O’ Lakes fat free half
and half cream
1 large onion
2 zucchinis
2 tomatoes
Directions :
Boil all vegetables in chicken broth until cooked soft. Remove from fire. Add cream and season to taste. Stir. Ladle mixture into blender and blend until smooth. Put in plastic containers for freezer storage. (This soup freezes well.) When the container is removed from freezer later to eat, just heat up by microwave or on stove. You may add shredded cheese, walnuts, or broasted chicken to soup for a complete meal.
what you get is gestational diabetes which has a very nasty habit of coming back to bite you in middle age as type 2 diabetes.
Good recipes are found in South Beach cookbooks, Atkins cookbooks, etc. The thing is to keep it low carb.
My favorite snacks are half an apple sliced really thin to use as “chip” with yogurt or cream cheese dips or spread with peanut or other nut butters, or cheese spreads. And a few triscuit biscuits.
Popcorn is a good snack too, says the ADA.
Celery with the yogurt, cream cheese dips, peanut or other nut butters, and cheese spreads.
These are all good snackies for anyone but especially anyone who has to watch their glucose numbers.
mostly cut down on potatoes and breads and pasta. You can have any kind of meat u want. Just don’t bread the meat.
