Glucose-Balancing Food Plan
- Breakfast: Oatmeal with cinnamon, almonds and hemp milk (My tip: Avoid processed, sugary instant oatmeal and treat yourself to the fabulous flavor of unprocessed oatmeal by getting Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Whole Grain, Rolled Oats.)
- Lunch: Sweet potato burger and avocado
- Dinner: Wild salmon, quinoa, spinach and carrot salad (My tip: Not familiar with quinoa? It's a superfood with more protein and fiber than typical grains. I recommend Eden Organic Red Quinoa for its quality and flavor.)
- Snack: Frozen banana bites with peanut butter and honey or mozzarella and tomatoes (My tip: Be cautious of peanut butter and choose a non-GMO brand, or use almond butter as an alternative. My recommended brand: Crunchy, organic Onceagain Almond Butter (click here to get it now).
