This recipe we are headed for some diabetic friendly / healthy eats. First of this is a salad. Basically a no-brainer recipe, this can be made ahead and served as part of a potluck or even had thrice / four times a week. We have it at least twice every week.
One neednt be a diabetic to indulge in healthy food, right ? 🙂
Basically for diabetics, the diet needs to be rich in soluble fibre and fats - sugar - carb combo to a minimum. Proteins can be indulged in twice a week. Millets are most welcome to be included in place of rice or wheat. Some other diabetic recipes include. Other recipes with mung bean sprouts is this Instant and Ultra delish Sprouts Dosa (savoury pancake) made with sprouts, millets and spinach.
