Diabetic-Friendly Juices & Smoothies To Whip Up

Patients with diabetes are often advised not to consume fresh juices because their glycemic index is often higher than the actual fruits. There is also a limited number of fruits that a diabetic patient can eat, but they can surely include vegetable smoothies in their diet. They add fibre and more minerals to the beverage, making it nutrient-dense for people struggling to manage their blood sugar levels.

Usha’s juicer mixer grinder will be your partner in this journey to manage this ailment. It comes with a powerful motor, sharp blades, and a separate juicer jar to make your life easy. Having a versatile appliance like this in the kitchen makes it easy for people to follow a healthier diet and live a better life.

Berry-Yogurt Smoothie

Berries are loaded with antioxidants and naturally low in sugar, while Greek yoghurt provides protein that balances blood sugar levels.

Green Apple-Cinnamon Smoothie

Blend green apple slices with spinach, a dash of cinnamon, and a bit of water or unsweetened almond milk to prepare this healthy blend. Green apples contain less sugar than red apples, and cinnamon enhances insulin sensitivity, making both ingredients a win-win pick for diabetics. This smoothie is subtly spiced and gives a kick to the taste buds. You can enjoy it either for lunch or dinner.

Blueberry-Flaxseed Smoothie

Crushing fresh blueberries and a spoonful of ground flaxseed with some unsweetened coconut water is your guide to making this hydrating and nutrient-dense drink. Berries are packed with antioxidants that fight free radical damage, while flaxseed adds fibre and omega-3 fats to your diet to boost heart health, but you must consult your doctor about the amount so you don’t end up overdosing on it. This is a naturally sweetened smoothie that will feed your sugar cravings but not hamper your health.

Peach-Greek Yoghurt Smoothie

Add one baby fresh peach, unsweetened Greek yoghurt, chia seeds, and a drizzle of almond milk into the juicer mixer grinder. Peaches have less sugar than most fruits, and yoghurt and chia seeds add protein and fibre to boost energy and keep the overall glycemic index of the beverage low. You can enjoy this thick and creamy smoothie twice or thrice a week.

Cucumber-Spinach Green Juice

Juicing cucumber, spinach, celery, and a small green apple will produce this low-sugar, refreshing green juice. Cucumber provides hydration, spinach boosts fibre and iron content, and celery regulates the bowel system. A green apple adds a hint of sweetness to counter the bitterness from the spinach. It is a lightweight smoothie that you can consume to manage blood sugar levels and avoid unnecessary munching.
