For individuals with diabetes, this can be a tricky time of year.

With all of the delicious dishes on offer, it’s hard to resist the temptation to indulge.

However, there are plenty of great recipes that are both diabetic-friendly and delicious.

Healthy Appetizers

As an alternative to dips, try roasted red pepper hummus.

Or, you can stuff mushrooms with spinach and parmesan cheese.

If you’re in the mood for something light and refreshing, mix together some fresh fruit and yogurt for an easy fruit salad.

Main Dishes

If you’re looking for something filling and flavorful, slow cooker turkey chili is always a safe bet.

If you’re in the mood for meat, opt for leaner cuts such as skinless chicken breast or lean ground beef and pair it with mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes for added nutrition and fewer carbs.

If you want something seafood-based, try baking salmon with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. It’s simple but has great taste and health benefits.

Desserts

While sugary treats may be off limits, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy a dessert without raising your blood sugar levels too high.

Baked apples drizzled with honey make a great alternative to apple pie.

For chocolate lovers out there, dark chocolate bark flavored with cranberries is a tasty combination.

Fresh berries or slices of melon are another option.
