Healthy Diabetic Recipes By Home Care Assistance of Temple
Delicious, healthy and filling meals are key to diabetic eating. Maintaining the right balance of carbs and fats and proteins can lead to a longer life. Diabetics should have about half a plate of vegetables, 1/4 of a plate of lean meat and 1/4 a plate of carbs. A small side of a dairy product can finish off a balanced meal.
Glazed Green Beans • Forget fattening, carb-laden mushroom soup and onion rings. For this delicious meal worthy of a five-star restaurant, all you need is: • 1 1/4 pounds green beans, trimmed • 1 tbs butter (divided) • 1/4 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth • 6 oz red pearl onions, halved and peeled • 3 tbs balsamic vinegar • 1 tbs sugar • 1/2 tsp salt • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
Boil the beans in water for three minutes, then drain and set them aside. • Heat 1-1/2tsp butter in a nonstick pan and saute the onions for until browned, then add the broth, vinegar, and sugar, and bring to a boil. Let it simmer until it's thick, about three minutes. • Add the beans, salt, pepper, and remaining butter and toss to coat. Cook until thoroughly heated (about two minutes). • Makes 8 servings.Nutrition: 36 carbs, 1.6g fat, 1.7g protein, 9.8g carbohydrates, 2.8g fiber, 4mg cholesterol, 0.9mg iron, 139mg sodium, 34mg calcium
