This is a low carb and low fat recipe that features spicy Korean-inspired chicken dish and brings bold heat from gochujang—a fermented red chili paste that’s rich, savory, and slightly sweet—and balances it with a cool, crunchy cucumber salad. Using lean chicken breast and a lightly sweetened marinade keeps the meal flavorful without overloading on sugar or fat. It's a great option for people with diabetes looking to enjoy vibrant flavors while staying mindful of blood glucose (blood sugar).
Fruit is full of antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. If you want to take this on a road trip - pack fruit in small, individual plastic containers and keep in a cooler.
Frozen bananas are the surprising base for this creamy, soft-serve "ice cream." It's dairy-free and vegan, low in saturated fat, made with no added sugars, and still totally delicious! Perfect for when you are craving dessert. You could use fresh or frozen strawberries. If using frozen, let them thaw first.
Sweet potatoes are a healthy carbohydrate full of fiber and vitamin A. They can make a great, quick side dish! You could also stuff this sweet potato with spinach and pine nuts.
Avocado is full of healthy, monounsaturated fat that is good for your cholesterol and will not raise your blood sugar. This is a veggie sandwich, but you could add turkey or chicken for extra protein.
