Dining Out or Ordering In Choices
Oh, the pleasures of having a meal in your favorite restaurant! Whether it’s your go-to fast casual eatery or a romantic white linen spot, dining out can be the highlight of our week—and so can ordering in. But when you have diabetes and may also be trying to lose weight, it can be hugely stressful instead—especially if you’re new to figuring your way around a menu when restrictions are on your mind. Selecting a restaurant you know has healthy options is the best solution, but that’s not always possible when others have input.
Mandarin, Greens, and Protein Bowl
Here’s a fresh and lovely entrée salad for one—perfect for a work-form-home lunch or a busy weeknight dinner. The zingy, citrusy dressing is made by blending together cider vinegar and sesame oil with grated ginger and whole oranges. You'll drizzle that onto a bed of salad greens (whatever you have) and a lean protein of choice (leftover chicken or shrimp or canned tuna work well, or use tofu or beans for a plant-based meal). You can additional vegetables and toppings if you want—try grape tomatoes, avocado, or shredded carrot. For crunch, top with peanuts or another roasted nut.
