This article is originally published on Freedom from Diabetes website, available here. The Janmashtami prasad- Panjiri is made with several nutritious ingredients, including ghee, dry fruits, coriander seeds, lotus seeds, almonds, cardamon, and some powdered sugar—which we will replace with stevia, so as to retain the sweet component without spiking Blood Sugar Levels (BSL). The seeds are added to replace grains, which are proscribed during fasts—again, this has health benefits, especially for diabetics.

Desiccated coconut flour- 3/4 cup Coconut oil can help in reducing waist circumference, lowering insulin resistance, and improving levels of HDL cholesterol.

Almonds, diced and roasted- 3 tbsp Nuts contain vegetable protein, unsaturated fatty acids, fiber, phytosterols (cholesterol-lowering elements), phenolic compounds (potent antioxidants), calcium, magnesium, potassium, and Vitamins like folic acid, niacin, and B6.
