Almonds and Fruit
For a breakfast you can eat on the run, grab a healthy handful of whole, raw almonds and a small serving of low glycemic-index fruit, such as berries, a peach, an apple, or an orange. The fiber and healthy monounsaturated fats in the nuts will help you feel full, and the fruit adds additional fiber and a touch of sweetness to your morning without causing a blood-sugar spike.
Cottage
Cottage cheese is another great option. As with yogurt, you can add fruit or nuts to create a more balanced meal.
Protein Goodies
Many tasty breakfast options are available if you are willing to experiment with protein powder. Select a whey, soy or rice protein powder that doesn’t have any added sugar and is low in carbohydrates. Then you can replace flour in most recipes with protein powder for diabetes-friendly baked goods: protein muffins, protein pancakes or protein cookies. If your recipes call for a lot of butter, egg whites make a good replacement and won’t give you the hit of saturated fats you would otherwise get. Protein shakes, made with low-fat or nut milk, are another filling and versatile breakfast option.
