EASY SHAKSHUKA RECIPE:
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 eggs
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 28 oz. can low sodium crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup feta
salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Over medium heat, warm the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or pot.
2. Add the onions, bell peppers, and salt, to taste. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
3. Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin, and paprika. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute, or until the garlic and spices are fragrant.
4. Add the can of crushed tomatoes and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, reserving half the cilantro for the garnish. Stir, and let the mixture come to a simmer. Reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Turn off the heat. Around the edges, use a spoon to make a well in the mixture for each egg. Crack each egg directly into each well.
6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the egg whites are mostly set and opaque white.
7. Top the shakshuka with crumbled feta and the remaining chopped cilantro. Serve, and enjoy!

Eat these breakfast foods for better daytime blood sugar!
1) Try cottage cheese with pistachios and blueberries. COTTAGE CHEESE is one of the best dairy sources of PROTEIN, which helps to slow your digestion. PISTACHIOS supply OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, which have been shown to lower levels of artery-clogging LDL cholesterol, while increasing levels of artery-cleansing HDL cholesterol. BLUEBERRIES are a good source of MANGANESE, and a great source of VITAMIN K. VITAMIN K aids blood clotting, and MANGANESE plays a role in blood sugar regulation.
2) Try a cauliflower banana chia seed smoothie. CAULIFLOWER is a non-starchy cruciferous vegetable that is low in carbohydrates but rich in essential micronutrients, and studies show that the high fiber content within cauliflower can aid weight management and post-meal glucose levels. CHIA SEEDS are a great source of glucose-stabilizing FIBER, along with other powerful antioxidants like CHLOROGENIC ACID, QUERCETIN, and KAEMPFEROL. BANANAS are a good source of POTASSIUM. This mineral is vitally important, as it aids heart contractions, and it has been found to reduce blood pressure and the risk of stroke.
3) Try steel-cut oatmeal with walnuts and apples. STEEL-CUT OATMEAL is a rich source of SOLUBLE FIBER, especially BETA-GLUCAN. Beta-glucan has also been found to improve insulin sensitivity while reducing artery-clogging LDL cholesterol. Studies show that consuming WALNUTS regularly can significantly decrease total cholesterol and triglycerides for type 2 diabetics. APPLES contain PECTIN, a type of soluble fruit fiber that has been shown to significantly reduce blood cholesterol and the development of atherosclerosis.
4) Try avocado smash with pumpkin seeds on whole grain toast. Avocado supplies heart-healthy MONOUNSATURATED FATS, which have been proven to benefit insulin sensitivity. PUMPKIN SEEDS are a wonderful source of POLYUNSATURATED FATS, which help to reduce artery-damaging LDL cholesterol levels. WHOLE GRAINS give you powerful PHYTOCHEMICALS, including LIGNANS, which have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, while aiding blood sugar regulation.
5) Try shakshuka. This egg and tomato classic is served with some of the best ingredients of the Mediterranean diet, including bell peppers, garlic, onions, parsley, and olive oil, along with antioxidant-rich spices like cumin and paprika. A recent study found that type 2 diabetic and prediabetic participants who ate one egg per day had better fasting glucose levels than participants who did not eat eggs.

Great video as always❤❤❤

Thanks for watching!

[@mymediness]

it was good

[@charlesbale8376]

This information is very helpful.

[@DiabetesSmartsProgram]

Glad it was helpful Charles, thanks for commenting!

What about those diabetics who are trying to reverse type 2 diabetics but without taking medications, can they follow the above 5 incredible breakfast ?

[@veronicastewart1112]

Pistachios are not cost effective, but a few would be OK. Your "steel cut oats" aren't steel cut. That type of oats isn't flat and looks more like rice. It takes a long time to cook them, and if you want a quick breakfast, put them in the crockpot the night before, or throw them in an instant pot. I wouldn't eat them anyway.

[@folee_edge]

I love that I can still love avocados

[@DiabetesSmartsProgram]

Absolutely! But like all good things, you can still get too much - avocado is still high in fat, though it gives you artery-aiding fats. So just be sure to watch your portions.

[@user-oz6nm6zn1w]

All theses you have listed in the morning as breakfast

[@izaireenaisahak5999]

IM IREENA FROM MALAYSIA.MAY I ASK CAULIFLOWER SHOULD BE COOKED OR RAW FOR SMOOTHIE

[@magnetsa]

Do you have another video that eliminates the NUTS in these recipes? Lots of people have allergy to NUTS.

I’m being told bananas have too much sugar so I’m advised to avoid them and I’m carb intolerant so I can’t have oatmeal.

[@peanutnutter1]

*Starch decreases as the banana ripens.

[@mercedeslusk1969]

Decreases or increases?

[@peanutnutter1]

@@mercedeslusk1969 decreases, it turns to sugar.
Which is why bananas get sweeter as they ripen.

[@Dawn-Songs]

Increases .​@@mercedeslusk1969

God I hate how they refer to a lot of things to only type 2 unless it actually only pertains to people with type 2 they shouldn't say just type 2 they should say type two type one or all diabetics unless it's only for type 2 for example like ozempic. Lol

[@ronhughley6510]

Again when he refers to walnuts reducing cholesterol and triglycerides he refers to only type 2 you telling me this only applies to or will only work for people with type 2 it won't help people with type 1 or anybody for that matter?? This is super frustrating and irritating confuses the hell out of me please figure out another method or only refer to type 2 if that is actually the case and it don't apply for type 1

[@Dawn-Songs]

I think that diabetic diets for both types should be eaten by everybody including non-diabetics .

[@ronhughley6510]

WTF!! So pistachios help heart risk factors when consumed regularly for type 2 diabetics but not for type 1???

[@user-ls3on2gh1o]

What a load of rubbish
