Breakfasts

Diabetes-friendly smoothie

This smoothie recipe should be suitable for most people with diabetes: Blend 2 cups of frozen raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries with a whole avocado and one-half of a cup of kale.

Add either water, almond milk, green tea, or low-fat milk to thin the consistency. Mix in chia seeds to add good fat and extra fiber. In balance with the fruit, the seeds will not affect the taste.

Another Breakfast Shake

For a meal in a minute, blend one cup of fat-free milk or plain nonfat yogurt with one-half cup of fruit, such as strawberries, bananas, or blueberries. Add one teaspoon of wheat germ, a teaspoon of nuts, and ice and blend for a tasty, filling, and healthy breakfast. 

Whole-Grain Cereal

Hot or cold, the right cereal makes a great breakfast. Enjoy a bowl of high-fiber, low-sugar cereal with skim milk, or heat up plain oatmeal. They're packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals and make a great base for a healthy and diabetes-friendly breakfast. Just remember that a little goes along way: A half cup equals one serving and about 15 grams of carbs. And watch what you add to it. Limit the butter and sugar — instead, top with fresh fruit, skim milk, a sweetener added..

Scrambled Eggs and Toast

The old standby breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast can be a healthy way to start the day if you cook them right. Scramble the egg in a nonstick pan with cooking spray. Enjoy this with a slice of whole-wheat toast topped with a light butter substitute, low-fat cream cheese, or sugar-free jam.
