  • Dinner at @zahavrestaurant in Philadelphia is always a great meal! Yes we had to stand on line but 1000% worth it. Plus the boys stand in line as we walk around for a bit. Amazing menu for vegans. Starting with warm zatar covered pita dipped into the most delicious hummus ever and finishing with blood orange sorbet over what I can only describe at “Unicorn Tears”. Nothing better! @zahavrestaurant #streetsofphiladelphia #philadelphia_ig #philadelphiafood #mediterranean #mediterraneandiet #mediterraneanfood #healthychoices #healthylife #vegan #veganoption #food52grams @zahavrestaurant

  • Foods to Balance Blood Sugar Balanced blood sugar levels are crucial to a healthy and prosperous life. Balanced blood sugar levels prevent disruption of your body’s functions and help your overall health. Here are a few foods to add to your diet to help balance your blood sugar: ‍ 1. Greens: You can never eat too many greens. For the best blood sugar benefits, go for nutrient-dense, low-carb greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli. These greens are also very rich in protein and calcium, which help your body in multiple areas. You can toss these greens in salads with olive oil and chunks of salmon. Studies have shown that these three vegetables contribute to dramatic improvement in patients who are constantly battling with their blood sugar. 2. Low fructose fruits: Fruit is always a must, but for blood sugar-specific management, choose fruits that are low fructose, such as cantaloupe, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi, and blackberries. You can snack on them throughout the day, or toss them in your salad, smoothies, or acai bowls. 3. Protein: Protein is essential for slowing down glucose absorption in your body, which helps regulate your blood sugar levels. Make your diet interesting; try snack ideas like celery sticks dipped in all-natural peanut butter. This snack is rich in protein and only contains the good kind of fat. 4. Herbs and Spices: Herbs and spices are natural supplements for balancing your blood sugar levels. They not only add flavor to your dishes but they may also help your hormone’s lower your blood sugar. Some spices, like turmeric, contain anti-inflammatory properties, which help in balancing out your sugar. 5. Whole grain foods: Whole grain foods that are also rich in protein, like millet and quinoa, provide and store energy without causing spikes in your blood sugar levels. 6. Nuts: Nuts like almonds and walnuts contain healthy amounts of fiber, protein, and healthy fats, and are a low carb snack idea. Try balancing your blood sugar the natural way by changing the way you eat. You’ll be amazed at the difference! ‍#mindbodygram #blogger #foodie #foodblogger #eattherainbow #realfood #cleaneats #vegan #bestofvegan #healthyfood #f52grams
