Cottage cheese, fruit, and nut bowl
Diabetes sufferers can eat cottage cheese because it is soft, creamy, delicious, and nutritious. Additionally, some evidence indicates that consuming dairy products may aid in lowering insulin resistance, a common problem for those who have diabetes. By itself, it has a mild flavor. To make it creamier, some people like to whip it in a food processor or blender. Make a bowl of fruit, nuts, and cottage cheese that is both sweet and savory. This dish is an excellent source of calcium, and full of vitamin B12 as well. And, it's also a good source of protein, which will help keep you full throughout the morning.
