When I became diabetic, I needed to work out a satisfying breakfast that wouldn't tax my blood sugar. Follow the smoothie with one piece of whole-grain bread and 1 tbs reduced fat, natural style peanut butter (I use Smucker's). You can't go wrong. Ingredients:
6 ounces light vanilla yogurt (or your favorite flavor) |
1 tablespoon oat bran |
1/2 tablespoon flax seed oil |
1 (1 g) packet splenda sugar substitute |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon vanilla (not the artificial stuff) |
1 lemon, juice of |
6 ounces frozen mixed berries |
2/3 cup skim milk |
1/3 cup water |
Directions:
1. Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Experiment with yougurt-berry combinations. I use mixed berries, blueberries, or rasberries regularly. I also mix up the yougurt flavors to keep from getting boring.
3. This is also great with the following substitutions.
4. * 1/2 teaspoon almond extract for the vanilla.
5. * 8 ounces frozen peaches for the berries.
6. approximate Diabetic exchanges:.
7. 2 dairy.
8. 2 fruit.
9. 1 fat.
10. 1 carbohydrate.
