It’s often thought that to control blood sugar, weight, and sugar cravings, it’s essential to completely give up sugary foods. However, by choosing the right ingredients, it’s possible to prepare a breakfast or snack that is both enjoyable and nutritious, while also supporting a healthy metabolism.
The goal is not to eliminate the sweet taste, but to rethink it through foods naturally rich in nutrients, capable of limiting blood sugar spikes while providing a lasting feeling of satiety.
Simple ingredients with targeted effects
Strawberries play a key role in this type of preparation. They are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and polyphenols, particularly ellagic acid. These compounds are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and their beneficial effect on blood sugar regulation.
Greek yogurt is an excellent source of high biological value protein. It helps maintain lean muscle mass and promotes satiety, which can help limit cravings, especially for sweets.
Egg whites provide pure protein, without fat, and enrich a dish nutritionally without increasing the calorie count. They also contribute to the texture and consistency of recipes such as cakes and pancakes.
Cornstarch, used in moderation, plays an important technical role. It adds structure and softness to the preparation, while remaining neutral in taste.
