FAST Low Carb Meal Prep for Diabetics in Under 15 Minutes: EASY Lunch Recipe for Diabetes and Prediabetes

Just because you have diabetes doesn’t mean you have to cut out carbs altogether. Getting your daily carb fix gives your body energy for the day ahead. But on days when you want to limit your intake opt for one of these delicious dinners that have 15 or fewer grams of carbs per serving. Each of these low-carb meals for diabetes emphasizes complex carbs like whole grains and sticks to heart-healthy levels of saturated fat and sodium. With recipes like our Slow-Cooker Braised Beef with Carrots & Turnips and Easy Sesame Chicken with Green Beans on the menu you’re guaranteed something healthy and delicious.

These are the types of recipes that are great to have on hand because everyone at the table can enjoy them without having to worry about anyone’s dietary needs or the meal being a healthy alternative. Plus most of these recipes come with serving suggestions and extra tips that can come in handy for other meals.

The spice mix in this healthy beef stew recipe—cinnamon allspice and cloves—might conjure up images of apple pie but the combination works well in savory applications too. Serve over creamy polenta or buttered whole-wheat egg noodles.
