Lia’s diabetes talk in Clarksburg / Thornbury last night was a big success – thanks to everyone who came out. For those of you looking for the recipes for the delicious goodies she brought along, here you go!
Steel Cut Oats – 6 servings (approx 40g complex carbohydrate / serving)
- 300g Steel cut oats
- 1L water
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp pure organic vanilla
- 2 bananas mushed
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds)
- 1/4 cup Goji berries
Boil steel cut oats in water with cinnamon on medium temperature until cooked (20 min). Remove from burner and add the rest of the ingredients… Enjoy!
Chocolate Avocado Pudding – 4 servings (9g carbohydrate w maple syrup version)
- 2 small-med sized ripe avocados
- 1 banana
- 1-2 TBSP maple syrup (depends on taste) or use a packet of Stevia to get rid of 20g of sugar calories
- 3 TBSP organic cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp pure organic vanilla
- 1-2 TBSP water or almond milk
Put all things into a blender and blend on high speed, scraping down the sides in between. Should come to a creamy delicious consistency.
This is a great therapeutic food for a diabetic, especially with the Stevia conversion. Avocado and banana supply much needed potassium for the diabetic, and pure cocoa improves glucose balancing throughout the day. Also hyperallergenic!
