Top 10 Diabetes "Superfoods"

Great information from the "Healthline" Website - and these foods not only are good for diabetics, but may of these are beneficial to people with cancer as well.

If you have type 2 diabetes, try to incorporate these foods into your diet as much as possible.
I eat some of these food every day!

• Non Starchy Vegetables
• Non Fat milk and yogurt
• Tomatoes
• Blueberries
• Oranges/Grapefruits (fruit, NOT the juice for obvious reasons but the fruit gives you fiber)
• Salmon
• Walnuts/almonds
• Beans
• Leafy Green Vegetables
• Whole Grains

Pumpkin Spice Latte' - Skinny Version!

At this time of year I am jealous of my friends who can walk into Starbucks and order a Pumpkin Spice Latte'! I LOVE everything pumpkin, but those specialty drinks have so much sugar I would end up in a coma in about 20 seconds!

So, I decided to experiment  to see if I could come up with something similar that is diabetic friendly, with no sugar! Here is what I came up with - I think it tastes great!

You will need:

Pumpkin Spice coffee (Dunkin Donuts has it - you can buy it at Target)
Splenda
Pumpkin Pie Spice
Skim milk
Cool Whip - low fat

Prepare your coffee like you normally do!  Add to your cup of coffee - 2 tsp splenda, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 2 tablespoons skim milk and stir.  Add Low fat cool whip on top!  Drink and enjoy

It's not Starbucks, but it will do in a pinch! 

Happy Fall!
