But muesli has a million carbs. My very kind sister-in-law, who lives in The Netherlands, found a low carb muesli in the \u201chealth food\u201d section of her supermarket, and I feasted. I decided, why not throw together a similar mix once home.  <a href=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/riva\/blogs\/food-nutrition-blogs\/best-breakfasts-for-diabetes\/attachment\/best-breakfasts-for-diabetes-with-milk\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39065\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39065 size-large lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Best-breakfasts-for-diabetes-with-milk-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Best breakfasts for diabetes with-milk\" width=\"584\" height=\"438\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Above my cereal all prepared. This recipe will look like a lot of work \u2013 it\u2019s not. It just takes a few minutes preparation because I throw a lot of stuff in. But there is no cooking, baking, etc. You can also mix up a big batch at the beginning of the week; I happen to like preparing it fresh as a morning ritual. Here\u2019s the mix before the milk is added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/riva\/blogs\/food-nutrition-blogs\/best-breakfasts-for-diabetes\/attachment\/best-breakfasts-for-diabetes-pre-milk\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39064\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-39064 size-medium lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Best-breakfasts-for-diabetes-pre-milk-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Best breakfasts for diabetes pre-milk\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here are the ingredients.\u00a0Know that these ingredients can be changed up according to your tastes, so you can certainly leave some out or change the fruits. Just bear in mind, it\u2019s low carb because what goes into your bowl is\u00a0mostly seeds and nuts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/riva\/blogs\/food-nutrition-blogs\/best-breakfasts-for-diabetes\/attachment\/best-breakfasts-for-diabetes-ingredients\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39062\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39062 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Best-breakfasts-for-diabetes-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"Best breakfasts for diabetes - ingredients\" width=\"1352\" height=\"1014\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p> Amounts are not exact, but you\u2019ll get the idea:  \u2022 spoonful of chia seeds  \u2022 spoonful of flaxseed meal (ground flax seeds)  \u2022 spoonful of hemp seeds  \u2022 spoonful of uncooked rolled oats  \u2022 handful of mix of pumpkin and sunflower seeds and poppy seeds  \u2022 handful of nuts  \u2022 few berries and one prune cut into little pieces  \u2022 enough salt for flavor  \u2022 1 packet stevia  \u2022 tsp cinnamon  As for the milk, I will often add a bit of half and half, then\u00a0Almond milk and then some water just to dilute it. The chia and flax seeds will want to soak up\u00a0the liquid. I find this cold and crunchy cereal just perfect for a summer day \u2013 and so anti-oxidant, omega-3 nutritious.  <a href=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/riva\/blogs\/food-nutrition-blogs\/best-breakfasts-for-diabetes\/attachment\/best-breakfasts-for-diabetes-screen-shot-2016-07-27-at-12-20-03-pm\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39063\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39063 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Best-breakfasts-for-diabetes-screen-shot-2016-07-27-at-12-20-03-pm.png\" alt=\"Best breakfasts for diabetes - Flaxseed Muffin\" width=\"558\" height=\"391\" \/><\/a>  Above is my other great low carb breakfast, a flax seed muffin, which I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll revert back to when the temperature drops.
