Quinoa salad! Quinoa cooks up quickly in the microwave, then I toss it with chopped up protein and veggies of choice (whatever is in the house/fridge) and some dressing that complements it, usually oil and vinegar and spices. Quick, filling and delicious.
If I don't have quinoa, I'll use cous cous about the same, too.
Oooh, thanks! I bought some quinoa but haven't figured out how to make it into anything...even though it sounds pretty easy! I'm going to try that tonight when I get home.
My personal breakfast of champions, that I ate just about every morning while dealing with gestational diabetes:
Two eggs, omelette-style. (If cholesterol is a major concern, either or both eggs may be replaced with twice the egg whites.)
A serving of fruit of choice.
Hot chocolate: one cup low fat milk, one heaping tablespoon cocoa, 2-3 teaspoons sugar. Heat milk, add other ingredients, stir well.
This one is fairly personal to my own body chemistry, which is not that reactive insulin-wise to sugar or fruit in any reasonable quantity but is reactive as all heck to white flour. My post-meal numbers were generally around 100-110 after eating this, well below the limits of my care team.
