Holiday celebration subs for people with diabetes With holidays in just a couple days, there’s a million different options for food and a ton of different delicious ones…. However, we still want blood sugars to be happy. As a result, here’s 3 amazing substitutes that you can make to not sacrifice flavor, but to stay in range:
1. Christmas cookie substitute: instead of having cookies that are very likely to spike your blood sugar, get your sweet cinnamon fix by cutting up a honey cinnamon RISE protein bar, warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave, and enjoy. You’ve now got 18g of protein, 4g of fiber, and just 5 all-natural ingredients to help keep your blood sugars in range. 2. Instead of Christmas Chex Mix (usually made with pretzels, Chex cereal, white chocolate and M&Ms), you could make a high protein puppy chow using Catalina Crunch as a low carb, high protein cereal base and using protein powder as your outside coating. 3. Instead of regular eggnog, you can make a lower carb version with almond milk, coconut milk, cinnamon, allulose, egg yolks, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Much lower carbs and a fraction of the impact. Which of these will you be trying? (I’m doing
