💚 Diabetic-Friendly Tips

✔ Choose low-carb protein powder

Look for unsweetened or stevia-sweetened options.

✔ Use allulose

It freezes softer and has zero impact on blood sugar.

✔ Add healthy fats

A tablespoon of heavy cream or almond butter helps keep glucose stable.

✔ Greek yogurt variation

Higher protein, lower fat, lower carbs — great for diabetic-friendly desserts.
