Do you need a portable sandwich for those busy times? Try this recipe. This is okay for breakfast on the run, too.
1 Whole-wheat Pita, halved
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 small banana, sliced
4-5 walnut halves, chopped
Mix the cottage cheese, banana, and chopped walnuts together. Divide mixture and use half to stuff each half of the pita pocket.
Approximately 46 g carbs and 21 g protein; a good percent combination for a diabetic. 46 g carbs is high for a diabetic but this is balanced with almost half as many protein grams. It is recommended diabetic meals have at least 1/3 as many protein grams as carb grams. This exceeds that number. I suggest eating only 1/2 this recipe, making it into 2 servings.
