Title: Greek Yogurt with Pumpkin Seeds and Honey
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
– 2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
– 1 teaspoon sugar-free honey substitute or stevia
– 1 tablespoon chia seeds
– 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 cup fresh berries (optional, for a touch of color and flavor) 
Instructions:
1. Begin by taking a medium-sized mixing bowl and adding the plain Greek yogurt. This yogurt is high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making it an ideal choice for a diabetic-friendly breakfast.
2. Next, sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the yogurt. Pumpkin seeds are rich in magnesium, zinc, and healthy fats, providing a nutritious boost.
3. Add the chia seeds to the mixture. They are packed with fiber and help improve digestion, which is especially beneficial for those watching their carbohydrate intake.
4. Drizzle the sugar-free honey substitute or stevia over the yogurt and seeds. This will add a hint of sweetness without raising blood sugar levels significantly.
5. Sprinkle the cinnamon on top for additional flavor and potential blood sugar-regulating benefits.
6. If desired, top with fresh berries for added color and a touch of natural sweetness, although this step is optional to keep the carb count low.
7. Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The consistency should be creamy and slightly chunky due to the seeds.
8. Serve immediately in a bowl and enjoy your nutritious, diabetic-friendly breakfast.
