Seven-Day Type 2 Diabetes Meal Plan.
Day 1.
Eating a diabetes-friendly diet can help keep your blood sugar levels under control. But it can be difficult to stick to a regular meal plan — unless you have a plan in place.
Check out these 21 delicious, diabetes-friendly recipes to use for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Also, be sure to balance your meals with lean protein and healthy plant fats.
Breakfast: Cream Cheese-Stuffed French Toast
This may sound too decadent for breakfast, but paired with scrambled egg whites, it can fit into a diabetes-friendly meal plan. Dried herbs and spices are a great way to pack a punch of flavor without adding unnecessary calories and fat.
Day 2.
Breakfast: Apple Pie Oatmeal with Greek Yogurt
Who wouldn’t like a slice of pie for breakfast? This is an easy grab-and-go lunch that even your kids will enjoy.
Note: This recipe may not be appropriate for all people with type 2 diabetes, because it contains 60 grams of carbs per serving. You can adjust the amount of cranberry sauce to lower the carb count.
Dinner: Cilantro-Lime Tilapia with Spinach and Tomatoes
Take a trip to the tropics with this fast fish dish.
Day 3.
Breakfast: Superfood Smoothie
If you think your mornings are too busy for breakfast, think again. Sautéed peppers, tomatoes, and onions are combined with eggs and cheese for an appetizing and full breakfast plate.
Lunch: Curried Chicken Salad Stuffed Pitas
What sets this chicken sandwich apart is the creamy Greek yogurt and mayo spread.
Dinner: Jamaican Pork Tenderloin with Lemony Green Beans
This quick, simple dinner is good enough for summer entertaining. Serve it with brown rice or pilaf for a full meal.
Day 5.
Breakfast: Granola with Nuts, Seeds, and Dried Fruit
Make this granola on the weekend and portion it out for a full week’s worth of breakfast for you and your family.
Note: This recipe has a high carb count because of the dried fruit. Serve with whole grain toast and sliced fruit for a complete weekend breakfast.
Lunch: Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup
Try this soup and there’s a chance you’ll never go back to canned varieties again.
Dinner: Grilled Shrimp Skewers
Shrimp only take a few minutes to cook, which means by the time they hit the grill, it’s dinnertime!
