50 Diabetes-Friendly Recipes from Registered Dietitians

50 Diabetes-Friendly Recipes

November is National Diabetes Month, and November 14th is World Diabetes Day. As a dietitian specializing in weight management, diabetes and prediabetes, I’m always looking for new recipes to share with my readers and clients. I reached out to my fabulous RD colleagues and asked them to contribute their favorite recipes to my National Diabetes Month RD Recipe Roundup featuring 50 diabetes-friendly recipes.

RD food bloggers create and publish a treasure trove of fantastic recipes that are healthy, tasty and full of nutritious ingredients. I’ve put together 50 delicious diabetes-friendly recipes including ones for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and dessert. There’s so much creativity here- not just boiled chicken, rice and broccoli. A bunch are gluten-free, some are vegan, and all will allow anyone with prediabetes or diabetes to try something new. Happy cooking!

    Such a great way to bring to light that having Diabetes doesn’t have to mean deprivation. We could all benefit from eating this way!
