Eating breakfast gives us energy and it is fundamental to choose carefully what we are going to take, because part of our wellbeing will depend on it the rest of the day.
Diabetics should be aware of many factors, and overweight is one of the most important to control diabetes, so that breakfast in this case, can be an opportunity to incorporate healthy foods and at the same time help us in the control Of weight. What you should never miss are cereals, grains, skim milk and fruits.
Another thing that we can say in favor of breakfast, is that those who overlook it, have a higher risk of developing type II diabetes.
Being a diabetic does not imply not being able to enjoy what we like, only that we must be a bit more selective and prioritize what is healthy. It does not mean that we should get up an hour early to prepare a complex breakfast. On the contrary! The simple and natural that we are going to suggest today, will allow you to eat healthy and without delay.
We leave you these simple easy breakfasts to start your day full of energy.
Smoothies
Are you in a hurry? You have little time? Then the shake is the best option.
Choose the right ingredients and prepare a smoothie that keeps your sugar levels at bay.
For example, as a base choose skim milk, low-fat yogurt, almond milk or green tea. It incorporates fruits and vegetables with low glycemic index and rich in antioxidants (apples, strawberries, blueberries, kale, spinach, cucumbers, broccoli).
If you want a more substantial milkshake, add nuts, almonds and seeds. This at the same time, covers your fiber quota. This complete smoothie also gives you satiety and prevents you from eating between meals. Another great option for this category of breakfasts are our Rancho Natura juice ready to drink.
Oats.
This is a complete food in nutrients and highly recommended for diabetics, because it is rich in fatty acids, omega 3, folic acid and potassium. The soluble fiber in oats reduces the speed at which the body breaks down and absorbs carbohydrates, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels.
You can use oats in any form and enjoy it cold or hot, but do not choose those that are already prepared and flavored, because they contain a lot of sugar.
An ideal breakfast with oatmeal: Cook the oatmeal with skim or low fat milk and sweeten it with honey. Add fresh fruits, seeds or nuts. A healthy breakfast, easy and fast!
Eggs and toast.
Ideal breakfast to start the day, because eggs are very complete foods that give us energy. Combining eggs with toast is an excellent option.
Enjoy scrambled eggs with a bit of olive oil or hard-boiled eggs with whole-grain toast and a Rancho Natura nopal juice.
Whole wheat sandwich.
Not everyone wants to give up bread, which is a food that is very entrenched in our diet, but if you are diabetic, you should pay attention to what kind of bread you can consume.
The best option is wholemeal bread that contains fibers, for a slower digestion that delays the release of sugars in the bloodstream.
A toast spread with cottage cheese can be combined with fruits such as apples or cranberries and sweetened with honey, as well as giving it a particular flavor with a little cinnamon.
Or you can make a different breakfast by smearing it with cottage cheese and adding lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers or spinach.
