For a month my hubby has included a Glucerna® HungerSmart™ Shakes or Glucerna® Mini Snacks for his afternoon snack. Glucerna® Mini Snacks taste great and are loaded with nutrition!

Taking this Glucerna® challenge and using these Glucerna® products has really helped better manage my husband’s diet and keep his numbers steady!
My hubby’s morning starts with bowl of oatmeal and dry fruit and nuts. Lunch includes low glycemic index rice, veggies as sides. Dinner is whole wheat bread, vegetable salad with carrot, avocado, lettuce, cherry tomato and kale. He also usually has curried lentils, which provides his protein portion. A small green apple or a pear are his dessert choices. His exercise routine includes walking 5, 300 steps every day.
He loves banana bread, it is first dish he wanted me to learn to bake after our marriage. This recipe is adapted from a friend’s wife. At that time he was not diagnosed with diabetes (it developed after a year of marriage). He was so upset about losing his banana bread so I decided to make a healthier version of it. Yes, you can still eat bananas — even if you have diabetes. Bananas are a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, but they do contain carbohydrates. In fact, all fruit has some carbohydrate, so you need to count them in your diabetes meal plan.

So I decided to try making this dessert with various ingredients, and finally perfected this No-Sugar Added Banana Bread. The only sugar in this bread is the natural sugar present in the banana. For this recipe version, I have incorporated almond meal which contains less carbohydrates than other flours. Flax seed meal was also added as it contains zero carbohydrates and is diabetic-friendly.
I wanted banana bread that looks like a real deal, otherwise it won’t pass hubby’s taste test. I used coconut oil, egg and yogurt to make it soft. These are delicious additions which make this gluten-free bread a must-try. This recipe is diabetic friendly; however contact your physician or nutritionist before making any changes in your diet plan*. *As blood glucose responses can vary from person to person. Be aware that you may need to make adjustments to the portion size you eat depending on your how your blood glucose responds to eating bananas or other types of fruit.
