2000 Diabetic Smoothie Cookbook: 2000 Days Healthy And Delicious Diabetic Smoothie Recipes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781803431567)

Diabetes can be a serious and debilitating condition. For those suffering from this disease, the right diet is extremely important.

Consuming a diet rich in vegetables and fruits is vital for controlling diabetes, and avoiding certain foods that can make diabetes worse is just as important.

One of the main causes of diabetes is consuming a poor diet that contains high amounts calories, sodium and sugars.

In the 2000 Diabetic Smoothie Cookbook will tell you the correct methods:

Smoothies and Refrigeration Time

Maintain a creamy smoothie, you need some refrigeration time. The ice cubes will melt or the ingredients will soak up the creamy texture. Rule of thumb is to add chia seeds or flax seeds for that thick consistency. Should your smoothie turn into a porridge-like consistency, just add coconut milk or even water to help dilute it.

Fruits - Fresh, Canned or Frozen?

Diabetics should have restricted access to refined sugar. Canned fruits have hidden sugars that will affect the glycemic levels. It is advised to use fresh fruits instead. But what if the fruit you need is out of season? The next best thing to do is head to the frozen section. Frozen fruits will make sure your smoothies stay smooth and creamy.

Don't Add Sugar

You can always substitute sugar with natural sweet tasting products such as raw honey or Stevia (powdered or liquid). Further in the recipe book, you will be introduced to green and leafy vegetables. An example would be the arugula. It has a distinct taste which may not suit your taste buds. Curb its after-taste by choosing stronger-flavored ingredients like mangoes.

Be reminded you only need half a mango's cheek if you are diabetic since it is very sweet. I hope you enjoy it!

Let the recipes in this book lead the way to a happier and healthier life.
