The Ultimate 7-Days Diabetes Meal Plan: Day 3

Hello, thanks for sticking around for day 3 of our Diabetes Meal Plan! In case you missed the first 2 days, you can click here to get started. I completely fell in love with yesterday’s taco bowl and if you feel the same, you’ll definitely enjoy today’s menu.

Before we move on to today’s menu of the diabetes meal plan, I want to share a secret tip. Our everyday snacks feature mostly fruits; in case you thought about making fruit juice out of them, don’t.

The sugar naturally found in fruits is still sugar and drinking juice provides you with way more sugar than your body would get by eating the whole fruit. Plus, why miss on the delicious texture of a soft plum or orange?
