Ricotta Breakfast Bowl

This daily favorite came to life when Weetbix just wasn't doing the trick for maintaining steady blood glucose levels. I dove into research, exploring breakfast recipes, but they all seemed too complex and needed to be eaten immediately. Then I discovered this gem! I could prepare it the night before, and it has been my go-to ever since. It's a beloved dish that perfectly supports blood glucose stability. Plus, there's endless flexibility with this breakfast, though I always enjoy keeping it simple and sticking to the basics!

Ingredients

Ricotta (3-4 tablespoons or however much is desired)

Fruits of choice! ( All fruits are good however we always steer away from pineapple given its high sugar content). My favourites include

• Apple

• Strawberries

• Blueberries

• Banana

• Seasonal fruits such as grapes in the summer or plums in the winter

Honey (one tea spoon)

Cinnamon (a sprinkle)

Optional Extras

Slivered Almonds

Sugar free maple syrup

Method

1. Add ricotta to bowl

2. Add fruits to bowl

3. Top with honey and cinnamon

4. Serve up!

Conclusion

A longstanding favorite in our household, this dish is easy to prepare and can be made the night before for a delicious breakfast to enjoy on the way to work or at work. Ricotta is an excellent choice due to its high protein content and low sugar, making it ideal for individuals with diabetes. Adding slivered almonds is also a great option for those who enjoy nuts, as they are low GI, high in fiber, and rich in magnesium. While my household isn't fond of almonds, I personally appreciate the addition.
