My go-to springtime Veggie Chopped Salad recipe:
1 red bell pepper
1/2 red onion
1 seedless cucumber
4 celery stalks
1 can chickpeas
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
6-8oz turkey breast or chicken
6oz salad dressing of choice

Chop them all up and mix! Store in an airtight container in your fridge 👍 serve with your fave crackers or chips… or just enjoy it as is!

The nutrition content for this will vary, depending on the type of salad dressing you choose… But generally speaking, if you divide the salad into 6 equal size servings, each serving will have ~25g total carb, 5g fiber, and 12g protein.

Bedtime snacks for diabetes: Anyone with diabetes knows that your morning blood sugars generally indicate how the rest of the day will go. And, something that can have a big impact on morning blood sugar is the bedtime snack you’re choosing.

If you’re struggling with higher blood sugar levels than you’d like in the morning time, talk to your doctor about these strategies.

#ad One of the most popular questions I get asked as a registered dietitian is what supplements I recommend to support healthy blood sugar levels. Supplements and herbs are not something to be afraid of. They can actually be a great tool to come alongside other behavioral and medical strategies you may be using to help promote stable blood sugar levels.

Both cinnamon and spirulina are supplement ingredients that research shows may be helpful in supporting healthy blood sugar levels.

@Apothekary Blue Burn tincture is a third party tested herbal tincture that you can take straight on your tongue or add to water and contains both cinnamon and spirulina, and other herbs.

If you’d like to try Blue Burn for yourself, after talking with your healthcare team of course, you can use my code MARYELLEN for 15% off any order over $75. Or comment “help” for the link!
