You know that meal planning is a key step in effectively managing diabetes, but trying to plan out each course every day of the week can get to be a tiresome task. Try this as an escape from the ordinary: One day this week, follow your taste buds around the world on a Vacation to Variety day of fun and exciting meals to enjoy. This tasty trip is sure to fill you up and fulfill your sense of adventure — no passport needed.
Muy Delicioso Mexican in the Morning
Kick off your day with a quick kiwi-berry breakfast burrito. Simply spread reduced-fat cream cheese on a flour tortilla, add strawberry jam on one half and decorate the other half with kiwi slices. Fold up the sides and chomp away.
Pair this fruity festival of taste with Hot Chocolate Mexicano! Whip up a cup of Nestlé® Hot Cocoa No Sugar Added with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a sweet accompaniment to your meal. Or transform a cup of coffee into a dulce de leche (caramel) flavored beverage by stirring in a vanilla caramel creamer, like Coffee-Mate® Sugar Free, for an added yummy jolt.
Hydration Hawaiian-Style
Even staying hydrated adds adventure to your day . . . if you add a tropical twist. Try sipping on a tropical fruit-flavored water on the treadmill and pretend you’re walking along a Maui beach.
Buon Appetito Lunch Break
Prepare an antipasto (an Italian first course) by drizzling some romaine lettuce and cabbage leaves with lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil and fresh ground black pepper. Then onto the main course! Nothing says Italy like pasta, and Grilled Chicken Primavera from Lean Cuisine® is a great way to squeeze a delizioso dish into your busy daily routine.
Dinner in the Orient
Stir-fried vegetables with lean chicken served over brown rice is a healthy way to explore the taste of the Far East. Pairing it with the mandarin orange flavor of Nestlé® Pure Life® Green Tea Refreshers will add a sweet hint to this tangy meal. Your meal plan might even have room for a fortune cookie as dessert.
