It’s Diabetes Awareness Week, so I thought you might be interested in the attached recipes suitable for diabetics which are made with unsweetened almond milk.

While eating right is important, diabetics and their families don’t have to resign themselves to a lifetime of cooking bland “health food”. Integrating healthy food should be fun and easy, especially with the following diabetic recipes made with unsweetened Almond Breeze. Unsweetened Almond Breeze is the only almond milk available in Australia that has no added sugar and a low glycemic index (GI) therefore making it suitable for diabetics.

150g smoked salmon with chilli, flaked or one large can of chilli tuna.
