Diabetic recipes / Ice Cream / Coconut Oil

Good day. friends.

Who said you can't eat ice cream being a diabetic? So many recipes abound (see also my previous blog post) that basically you only have to give 'diabetic ice cream' into your search engine, and voila!

Pinterest as well is a mine of information for diabetic recipes and other 'tips and tricks'. Again type 'pinterest.com' into the search engine and then search 'pinterest' for whatever you want to see and know. You click on a picture of e.g. 'diabetic chocolate cake' and to get the details you click on 'visit site' in the window that will appear. Vast resources will open up, for fans of cooking, crafting, sewing, jewelry making, fast cars, psychology, internet hacks like blogging tutorials, beer brewing and what have you. To get a taste of the incredible possibilities I herewith give you a link to my very own

PINTEREST BOARDS

which I hope will open a whole huge modern library with limitless resources for you too!

Incidentally I am a great fan of COCONUT OIL ('My latest craze') and most of what I use in cooking, in the bathroom and in my household, for my pets and, wait for it, for slimming and lowering my blood sugar level are derivatives of the humble but amazingly powerful coconut.

It is impossible to blog all the recipes, benefits and goodness of this nut, so again I give you the link to my coconut board on pinterest:

My latest craze - Coconut Oil

Please keep in mind that almost all recipes on this board are more than suitable for diabetics!!

To round off this post a recipe for diabetic ice cream follows:

Banana-Coconut Raw Vegan Ice Cream

Ingredients

• 4-6 bananas, frozen and cut into pieces
• 1/2 cup shredded (desiccated) coconut
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean powder or -extract

Directions

• Blend bananas up in blender or food processor until they’re smooth and creamy. Don’t blend for too long or the ice cream will melt.
• Add shredded coconut and vanilla and blend for 30 seconds or until the coconut and vanilla are thoroughly mixed into the ice cream.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

This recipe makes approximately 2 cups of ice cream.

BANANAS ARE NATURALLY VERY SWEET, SO PORTION CONTROL IS ADVISED ONCE AGAIN!

NUTTY GREETINGS FOR TODAY,
