DIABETIC DIET TIP
As I mentioned on previous posts, the healthy level of a cheesecake depends a lot on the crust. There are some of my recipes that have a graham cracker made crust and others thatinclude a crust made with almond flour, coconut sugar and coconut oil, like this one! This healthy pie crust makes the cheesecake even healthier!
Remember that we enjoy these healthy desserts only on occasions where sugar levels are very optimal (staying between 80-120 mg/dL and definitely not above 150 mg/dL). As I keep repeating all throughout my blog, balance is the main factor when it comes to managing your health and diabetes, and my healthy desserts and recipes are no exception to it.
Try this recipe for this holiday season and let me know what you think so I can keep making these healthy recipes even better for you guys!
