Needing something sweet

[KimG]

Hello, I would like to ask what to have to eat to get rid of my sugar pangs. Also, can I have chorizo and salami (I know they're processed), there seems to be a few recipes using these. Thank you

The wife uses coconut oil, almond butter and crushed almonds melted together with a very small sq of 85%dark chocolate... Mix well and a few chopped strawberries can also be added .. Line a small baking tray with cling film and spread out the warm mix so it's rather thin ... desecrated coconut can also be added .. Sprinkle a little sea salt crystals on top and freeze .. Then when frozen turn out and break in to med size chards ... Leave in the top of your freezer and nibble away when needing a hit of sweet things ...

Cannot comment on the chorizo or salami as I am vegetarian

I normally have the little pors of sugar free jelly in the fridge. 4 for quid in Tesco.

Yes, sugar free jelly is a life saver( literally)!

I ate 2 or 3 Thorntons diabetic chocolates and ended up with the highest bg reading I had ever had! I think I need to buy some of those pots of sugar free jelly

 

[Evelynross]

I buy hartleys sugar free jelly, twin pack, 70p. One pack makes 1pint, 3 portions. Great help x

I think the sugar free jelly is full of artificial sweeteners ! Not so good really !

 

[Evelynross]

I know, the lesser of two evils?

This is a very nice recipe. Add fake sugar to ricotta cheese along with vanilla essence or a little cocoa. stir well. Tastes like a mousse.

Chorizo and salami will vary from brand to brand, but most of the ones I've seen are pretty low carb. I don't have any problem munching on them. Peperami is also handy to have around.

 

[KimG]

Thank you for that Geoffers. I have a couple of recipes which use chorizo, and I love Italian meats lol

So do I. I always have some of those pre-diced pots of Pancetta in the fridge. If I'm stuck I fry them til crispy and throw them into an omelette.

Me too! My husband can't stand pancetta or smoked meat. I love it! You could may a kale soup with a stock and add chorizo the last 15 minutes of cooking it's yummilicious!

Just come back from lidl with manchego, tins of archicoke hearts, anchovies, queen olives and slices of salami with fennel and slices chorizo, brie, and nuts.
My snacks are covered for the next few days!!!
