WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

ORANGE CREAMSICLE FRAPPE

This will remind you of an Orange Julius, the drink that used to be so popular in shopping malls.

3/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
3/4 cup 1% milk
1/4 cup Splenda Granular (or an equivalent amount of your favorite sweetener)
1/4 cup Egg Beaters or other pasteurized egg substitute
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup crushed ice
2 thin slices fresh orange for garnish, optional

Place all the ingredients, except ice, in a blender and pulse until blended. Add ice and blend until ice is completely incorporated and the drink is frothy.

Serve immediately.
