As a diabetic you know how important your diet is and you probably also know how important it is to eat breakfast every day. However, cereal and toast are boring every day and for that reason we’ve put together a much more interesting list of diabetes-friendly breakfast treats which will help you keep going through the day without hurting your health!
The Shake – Blend fruit like bananas or strawberries, a cup either fat free yoghurt or milk and then one teaspoon of wheat germ and nuts. Then blend with ice. This is quick, tastes fantastic and will go towards you having a healthier and more productive day!
My Muffin Top is All that – Whole grain low fat… Sorry. If you have a whole grain muffin with a nice dollop of conserve and some low far yoghurt you’ve got yourself a simple and healthy breakfast!
Whole-Grain Cereal – Boring but effective. Shake things up a notch with some fruit or yoghurt. Don’t add sugar or sweetener.
Scrambled Egg on Toast – An oldie but a goodie, this a classic which many non-diabetics would go for themselves! Make sure the bread is whole-grain and smear it in margarine or low fat cream cheese.
‘Hollow’ Bagel – Bagels are large, so to avoid overloading on carbs toast it and then remove the innard of one sides. Replace the bread with low fat yoghurt, fruit or whatever you fancy (proving it’s good and healthy). This is a little tricky but tastes great and looks rather good too, so if you’re looking to impress a special someone it could be worth a go!
Almonds and Fruit – Simple and effective. Why add to perfection? Have a handful of almonds and berries and cover them in low far yoghurt. Alternately have an apple, orange or a peach as these are good and fibrous, setting you up for the day without filling you full of junk.
