This healthy, diabetes-friendly dish comes together in one pot and makes for a delicious weeknight meal. This recipe, made with fresh tangy cranberries and other vegetables, is low in carbs but high in vitamins, nutrients, and flavor.
Nuts are a great snack at home or on the go. They’re loaded with healthy fats and fiber, meaning they’ll keep you satisfied between meals. This low carb trail mix gets a little bit of sweetness from dried cranberries and erythritol, and low-calorie sugar alcohol that provides sweetness without a lot of carbs.
Grilling concentrates the flavor of the peaches and caramelizes its natural sugars. Anti-oxidant rich blueberries are lightly cooked to make a quick compote. The combination creates a light and refreshing dessert that highlights fresh summer fruit. If you don't want to fire up the grill, you cook the peaches on a grill pan indoors, or on a hot cast-iron skillet. The recipe calls for fresh blueberries, but you could easily sub in frozen blueberries.
Serve this gumbo over 1/3 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa. If you are only cooking for one or two people, you can easily freeze leftovers from this recipe to save for a later date.
This flavorful, lower-carb, high fiber soup makes a great lunch the next day, too. If you can’t find canned fire roasted tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes with green chiles.
