Start your day off right with one of these satisfying breakfast recipes. Not only does each one feature at least 6 grams of fiber per serving, but they're also low in saturated fat and sodium to help manage blood sugar. Fiber slows down digestion, which helps prevent high blood sugar spikes. And being mindful of the amount of saturated fat and sodium your meals contain can also help protect your heart since those with diabetes are at a higher risk for developing heart disease. Recipes like our Chia Seed Pudding and Spinach & Fried Egg Grain Bowls are delicious, healthy ways to start the day.
