Diabetic friendly frozen foods
1- Frozen fruits
Frozen fruits are a great easy-to-eat food, as they can be used to make smoothies quickly, to add to yogurt, or to prepare desserts, and in addition, you can have fruits that are out of season.
Some of the best frozen fruits for diabetes include those that are high in fiber, such as blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, cherries, kiwi, and bananas.
It should be noted that tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mangoes, contain more sugar per serving, so they should be mixed with other high-fiber ingredients, such as oatmeal, healthy fats, such as avocado or peanut butter, or a healthy protein source, such as yogurt.
2- Frozen vegetables
Frozen vegetables are easy to prepare and do not require much effort, and it helps greatly to include different vegetables in most diabetic meals.
And when shopping for the best frozen vegetables for diabetes, look for ones that don’t contain harmful substances like high-sodium sauces.
It is possible to choose frozen pepper slices, broccoli, green beans, spinach, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, and you should not stray from starchy vegetables, as frozen squash, corn and peas are vegetables that provide both protein and fiber.
3- Salmon
Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids that help protect the heart, plus healthy fats and protein help keep blood sugar stable after a meal.
Salmon is also quick to melt and cook, making it ideal when you want to prepare a quick meal.
4- Shrimp
Shrimp is a healthy source of protein, so having a bag of frozen shrimp on hand means you can have a quick, protein-packed meal in a matter of minutes.
Getting a source of healthy protein at every meal helps slow down digestion, and thus the rate at which glucose reaches your bloodstream, with the end result being better blood sugar balance for longer after meals.
