Diabetics often struggle with craving tempting treats. However, they may still enjoy some desserts if they change some ingredients or choose desserts that focus on fresh fruit versus sugary syrups. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Fruit
Diabetics should try to eat more fresh fruit, especially in the summer when it is in season. Mix melon, grapes, strawberries and pineapple together for a fruit salad, and then drizzle with honey or dip into low-fat vanilla yogurt.
Sugar-free Jell-O Products
While not everyone likes the taste of sugar-free Jell-O or pudding, some diabetics do not notice the difference and like the chocolate and vanilla pudding.
Strawberry Shortcake
Diabetics may still enjoy a version of this summer favorite by letting the strawberries marinate with Splenda instead of sugar. Then ladle the strawberries over low-fat angel food cake, instead of shortcake biscuits. While angel-food cake does have sugar, diabetics may make it healthier by baking the cake with Splenda.
Ice Cream
Diabetics may also still savor some of their favorite frozen treats by selecting no-sugar-added ice cream or novelty bars.
Low-Sugar Oatmeal Cookies
Diabetics can alter the original recipe by using whole-wheat flour and sugar substitute. The cinnamon, nutmeg, oatmeal and raisins all assist in adding flavor to the cookies.
