Tropical Breeze in a Bowl Hallooooo there, Vegan Ventures fans!!! I’m baaaack! After finally succumbing to an official Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis this last year instead of battling it as a “pre-diabetic” for years, I dug into research on best diet for controlling diabetes. Because diabetes can be fatal and I am NOT into dying before my time! I’m convinced, based on reading a bunch of scientific research (my veterinary background sure is useful!), that a vegan, low fat diet is the way to go. To that end, I’ve signed up for the Mastering Diabetes weekly meal plan and have been diving in. Since this is a style of cooking I am not familiar with, I feel like I am definitely outside of my comfort zone and in a new realm of creativity which has been like a massage for my brain. Bonus is David has really likes the food too—we usually just do a side dish of meat for him. BIGGEST bonus is the immediate results of my bloodwork. Within a week of being on this diet, I went from morning fasting glucoses sometimes way-over 150 (ideally you should have below 125) to in the 90’s and low 100’s. And I feel GREAT. And the food is REALLY good. Here’s my first share of a typical breakfast from the meal plan: Half a mango Medium banana Kiwi (recipe calls for a persimmon but our MOM’s only had sungold kiwis which may be my new favorite fruit)—no need to peel it! 1 tsp ground cardamom 1 T flax seed Dice up the mango, banana, and kiwi, add blue berries and sprinkle cardamom and flax seed on top. I also add a pinch of salt to bring out the flavors. Super easy and SO yummy! And lots of fiber so I feel full for a long time after this. And that cardamom flavor is MAGICAL! Let me know if you make this and what you think!!
