Today, I wanted to share a simple yet satisfying snack idea that's perfect for managing diabetes and keeping your energy levels stable throughout the day.
How about trying a refreshing Fruit and Yogurt Parfait?
Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (choose plain, low-fat or non-fat)
- 1/4 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts)
- 1 teaspoon honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
1. Start by layering half of the Greek yogurt into a small bowl or glass.
2. Add half of the mixed berries on top of the yogurt.
3. Sprinkle half of the chopped nuts over the berries.
4. Repeat the layers with the remaining yogurt, berries, and nuts.
5. Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with cinnamon if desired for added sweetness.
6. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Fruit and Yogurt Parfait!
This snack is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients to help keep your blood sugar levels stable. The Greek yogurt provides protein to keep you feeling full, while the berries add natural sweetness and a dose of antioxidants. The nuts contribute healthy fats and crunch, making this snack both satisfying and diabetes-friendly.
Feel free to customize your parfait with your favorite fruits and nuts to suit your taste preferences. And remember, moderation is key, so be mindful of portion sizes.
