Sometimes given our "double jeopardy" it is hard to come up with meal ideas. Especially quick ones, as cooking sometimes is not possible with time constraints.

I would love other diabetics to post their favourite meals and best ideas here, as we can all benefit from refreshing our cupboards now and then.

Here's some quickies I enjoy:

-banana with almond butter

-sugar free, low fat yoghurt with ground flaxseed or Protein mixed in

-skinned, sliced apples / cucumbers / baby carrots with humus

-thin crust frozen pizza, no more then one a week - I love the McCain "Sicilian" one, and can never eat more then a quarter of it. Seems to be fine with my BG.

Other ideas or recipes?

hey guys,

i have a hard time getting in Protein in the am absolutely hate eggs....so i made cheesecake.....cottage cheese, ricotta cheese (low fat) in the food processor with 3 eggs, and 3/4 cup splenda and 2 tsp vanilla...i bake it and eat 1/2 cup..it holds me for a long time...amanda

look up ratatuille recipe....we found it after the movie came out. We love it. It goes with everything. I use protein shakes as well to keep the amount of daily protein up to 70gms. I love several of the recipes from South beach..
