Diabetic-Friendly Breakfast
5-minute diabetic breakfast: cinnamon water, eggs, avocado toast, strawberries & blueberries. No added sugar. Easy, healthy and blood sugar friendly
Ingredients
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 2 cups water
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 avocado
- 1 slice whole wheat bread
- 1 cup fresh strawberries and blueberries
- salt to taste
- Red crush pepper or other hot sauce
Instructions
Cinnamon Water (Your No-Sugar Morning Drink)
- Bring two cups of water to a boil with one cinnamon stick. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Do not add sugar, honey, or any sweetener. Plain cinnamon water on its own is a powerful tool for fasting blood sugar management.
Fried Eggs in Olive Oil
- While your cinnamon water is brewing, heat a pan over medium heat and add half a teaspoon of olive oil or avocado oil. Crack in two eggs carefully. Cook on medium heat so they don’t burn. If you prefer them cooked on top, simply cover the pan for about a minute.
Whole Wheat Avocado Toast
- Toast your whole wheat bread. Take 1/4 of an avocado, mash it gently with a fork, and spread it over the toast. Add a pinch of salt and, if you like, a bit of red crush pepper for flavor — it adds a kick without affecting your glucose levels.
Strawberries and Blueberries
- Serve 1 cup of fresh strawberries and blueberries on the side. Both fruits have a low glycemic index and are packed with antioxidants and fiber, which help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream for a steadier glucose response.
