[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Navy Bean, Bacon and Spinach Soup - 39g Carbs, 12g Fiber, 4g Sugar

 

Navy Bean, Bacon and Spinach Soup - 39g Carbs, 12g Fiber, 4g Sugar

{Sodium is much too high!! - Suggestions: Lower sodium by using lowest salt bacon possible. Try to use no salt added beans OR cook yourself by using dry beans! Also, be sure to use low or not sodium tomato paste and reduced sodium chicken broth! Take Care, Gloria}

From: http://www.skinnytaste.com - (Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker or Stove Top)
Bacon makes everything better (in my opinion), especially in this hearty white bean soup. It's delicious, inexpensive, and easy to make and leftovers are even better the next day. I made this in my Instant Pot (doesn't get quicker than that!), but I've also included slow cooker and stove top directions as well.

3 15 oz cans navy beans, rinsed and drained
4 slices center cut bacon, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 large celery stalk, chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves
1 sprig fresh rosemary (I used a bouquet garni for tossing)
3 cups baby spinach

  > Instant Pot
In a blender, blend 1 can of beans with 1 cup of water.

Press Saute button then cook the bacon until crisp. Set aside on paper towels.

Add the onion, carrots and celery to the pot and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste then add the pureed beans, beans, broth, rosemary and bay leaves.

Cook on high pressure 15 minutes. Let the pressure release, remove rosemary and bay leaves. Place 2 cups of the soup in the blender and puree to thicken, then add back to the soup along with the spinach and stir until wilted. To serve, ladle into 6 bowls and top with bacon.

  > Stove Top
In a blender, blend 1 can of beans with 1 cup of water.

Sauté the bacon in a large pot until crisp. Set aside on paper towels.

Add the onion, carrots and celery to the pot and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste then add the pureed beans, beans, broth, rosemary and bay leaves.

Bring to a boil, cover and cook on low until the beans and vegetables are soft, about 25 minutes. Place 2 cups of the soup in the blender and puree to thicken, then add back to the soup along with the spinach and stir until wilted. To serve, ladle into 6 bowls and top with bacon.

  > Slow Cooker
In a blender, blend 1 can of beans with 1 cup of water.

Saute the bacon in a skillet until crisp. Set aside on paper towels.

Add the onion, carrots and celery to the skillet and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the slow cooker with the tomato paste, pureed beans, canned beans, broth, rosemary and bay leaves.

Cover and cook low 8 hours. Remove rosemary and bay leaves. Place 2 cups of the soup in the blender and puree to thicken, then add back to the soup along with the spinach and stir until wilted, adjust salt to taste. To serve, ladle into 6 bowls and top with bacon.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Super Easy Cauliflower and Spinach Soup - 12g Carbs, 4g Fiber, 5g Sugars

 

Super Easy Cauliflower and Spinach Soup - 12g Carbs, 4g Fiber, 5g Sugars

From: www.rebootwithjoe.com/cauliflower-spinach-soup/
By: Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
Soup is a warm, cold weather delight. I particularly love it because it serves as an easy way to pack in tons of nutrients with a satisfying taste. Sometimes it's just too cold out to depend on juice to get a high dose of nutrients, and soup is the perfect solution. This soup is a rich source of immune-boosting and health-promoting nutrients including vitamin C, energizing B vitamins, bone-healthy vitamin K and brain and heart-healthy folate.
Prep time: 10 min // Cook time: 40 min // Total time: 50 min // Servings: 4

1 head cauliflower
1 onion
Dash red pepper flakes
1 cup spinach
Dash sea salt and pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp thyme
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
Sage leaf, for garnish (optional)

Preheat the oven to 425 F.

Cut cauliflower into florets and slice the onion. Spread on roasting pan.

Toss the cauliflower and onion with the olive oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes on a baking sheet; sprinkle with the salt and thyme and toss again. Roast until golden and tender, about 20 minutes.

Combine all ingredients (except garnish) in a food processor or high powered blender and blend or process on high for 2-3 minutes or until well mixed.

In a medium to large stockpot heat the blended soup over medium for 10-15 minutes or until warmed. Serve with garnish and enjoy!

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Foil Cooked Salmon Over Pan Cooked Green Beans - 14g Carbs, 5g Fiber, 5g Sugar

 

Foil Cooked Salmon Over Pan Cooked Green Beans - 14g Carbs, 5g Fiber, 5g Sugar

{To reduce sodium cut out the salt called for. Also, use no salt added tomato paste! Take Care, Gloria}
From: www.verywell.com - Leyla Shamayeva, MS, RD
A fillet of heart-healthy salmon takes less than half an hour to cook, just enough time to prepare a hearty bed of green beans to serve it over. Remember, FODMAPs are types of carbohydrates that either occur naturally or are added to processed foods. As an animal protein, salmon is naturally low in them unless seasoned or crusted with higher FODMAP ingredients.

Don't forget your fiber-rich vegetables here. The slightly crunchy green beans are lightly cooked in tomatoes, which are also naturally low in FODMAPs and lend additional seasoning to the salmon. The end result is a dish that's light, flavorful, and won't trigger IBS symptoms.
Total Time 35 min
Prep 10 min, Cook 25 min
Serving: 1 (547 calories)

6 oz.salmon fillet
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 Tbsp paprika
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tsp lime zest
2 Tbsp cilantro, finely chopped (about 4-5 sprigs, leaves only)
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp tomato paste
1/2 large beefsteak tomato, roughly chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup green beans, sliced in half

    Preheat the oven to 400F.
    Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and place the salmon on it, skin down. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika. Place another sheet of aluminum foil over it and curl the edges to seal them up.
    Place in oven for 20-25 minutes (until the salmon easily flakes off with a fork).
    While the salmon is baking combine the lime juice, zest, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.

    Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the optional red pepper flakes and tomato paste and stir for 15 seconds. Add the diced tomato, salt, and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, until they are soft and release their juices.
    Add the green beans, stir, and cook, covered, for another 8-10 minutes.
    Once the salmon is removed from the oven, plate the salmon over the green beans and top it with the lime and cilantro mixture.

Ingredient Variations and Substitutions

If you're a fan of lycopene-rich tomatoes, spread a teaspoon of tomato paste onto the salmon before putting it into the oven to concentrate additional flavor there. Alternatively, omit the tomato paste from the green bean mixture and use on the salmon instead.

Generally, up to ten individual almonds are well tolerated by those with IBS. For a bit of texture variety and a small amount of extra protein, fiber, and healthy fats, crush a few almonds and mix it into the green beans.

Using ten will add 70 calories to the dish.
Cooking and Serving Tips

Cooking the green beans for 8 to 10 minutes leaves them with a soft crunch. If you'd like a softer end result, cook them a little bit longer, to taste.

On its own this meal is light on carbohydrates (only 9 grams). If you'd like additional carbohydrates serve with a side of baked potato (if you use sweet potatoes, about half a cup is usually well-tolerated) or over a whole grain like quinoa, sorghum, or brown rice.

Baked Cod with Chorizo & White Beans - 18g Carbs, 6g Fiber, 3g Sugars

From: EatingWell Magazine, January/February 2008
This recipe follows the Spanish and Portuguese tradition of pairing mild white fish with full-flavored cured sausage—just a bit gives the whole dish a rich, smoky flavor. Make it a meal: Enjoy with steamed green beans and roasted potatoes tossed with thyme and coarse salt.

Nutrition profile: Diabetic Appropriate - Gluten-Free - Healthy Aging - Healthy Immunity  - Heart Healthy - Low Added Sugars - Low-Calorie - Low Sodium
Active: 20 min
Ready In: 40 min
Servings: 4

1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 oz Spanish chorizo (see Tips) or turkey kielbasa, diced
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup dry white wine, divided
1 15oz can great northern beans, rinsed
1/2 tsp salt, divided
1 1/4 lb cod, cut into 4 pieces (see Tips)
Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallot, chorizo (or kielbasa) and thyme and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and 1/4 cup wine.

Tips: For this recipe we use fully cooked Spanish-style chorizo—spicy pork sausage seasoned with smoked paprika and chile. Find it near other cured sausages in well-stocked supermarkets, specialty food stores or online at tienda.com.

[Healthy_Recipes_For_Diabetic_Friends] Salmon With Grapefruit Sauce - 8g Carbs, 1g Fiber

 

Salmon With Grapefruit Sauce - 8g Carbs, 1g Fiber

{Remember grapefruit does not mix with some medications! Take care, Gloria}

From: New Family Cookbook for People with Diabetes, 1st Edition American Diabetes Association
Salmon definitely tastes better the more simply it's prepared. Slightly sweet yet tart, grapefruit juice intensifies the flavor of the sauce and also helps keep the fish from drying out. Garnish the fish with ruby red grapefruit segments mixed with chopped fresh basil to complement the beautiful orange-pink color of the fish.

One whole grapefruit equals 2 fruit exchanges or 1/2 fruit exchange per serving.
Diabetes Friendly

1/2 cup shallots, minced OR finely chopped sweet onion
2 tsp olive oil
1 lb salmon fillet, cut into four pieces
3/4 cup grapefruit, juice and segments for garnish

1. Saute the shallots in the oil in a nonstick skillet until tender, about 4 minutes. Add the salmon and grapefruit juice. Cover and simmer over low heat until the salmon is opaque, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the salmon to warm serving plates.

2. Increase the heat and simmer the juices about 2 minutes until reduced to 1/2 cup; pour over the salmon.

Number of Servings: 4
