Sarah, some fruit juices should be worse than others for your situation. For example, orange juice usually comes with fairly large amounts of sugar mixed in to overcome the taste resulting from having machines squeeze the oranges without removing the peels first. It's harder to find the variety squeezed after the peels are removed, and more expensive.

If you can find juices from berries with no sugar added, they are likely to be a better choice.

You might also want to think about whether tomato juice would taste suitable with the other ingredients you use.

I want to try making some smoothies but juice always makes my sugars sky high. I think I will try one and see what happens with some water, some greens, some juice and some fruit.

Got a new cookbook. My sister always knows exactly the right thing for hospital and recovery situations when your attention span is about 2 minutes. In 1972 for a lengthy stay, she got me a first edition anthology of Wonder Woman Comics. In 1976, it was Shogun, at a time when I was reading lots of autobiographies which were just not right! Today it's a cookbook from the cream cheese folks so with some adaptations that we are all good at now, a lot of the recipes are rich AND lo-carb. It's called "Spread a Little Joy.".......How about Asparagus and Parmesan Tart, but use Gerri's pecan crust.....Salmon with Creamy Pesto Sauce......Pizza Frittata....Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Souffle.....

Yes we have to make some substitutions, but, isn't this great reading for recovery!!!......

oops Robert, I don't know why that happened, hmmmm. glad you were able to get the recipe. It's from Martha Stewart's little magazine called "Everyday Food". I like it because the recipes are easy, seasonal, and they have the nutritionals listed.

I tried that link for the chicken and artichokes recipe, and found that the version of the link here on TuDiabetes works, but the version sent out in email doesn't.

Comment by Marie B on February 23, 2012 at 8:08am

this recipe for chicken breasts with artichokes is easy and really good. if you don't have the pasta with it, it's about 12 gm carb

this recipe for Smoky Roasted Vegetables from the Washington Post is fabulous! only 22 gm carb. the spices are great. you can make ahead and freeze it too, and the Thai red curry with salmon (related recipe) is my favorite
