Bolognese Pasta
Bolognese (pronounced Boh-luh-nez) is a classic Italian meat sauce often enjoyed with pasta dishes. A variation on traditional ragu, Bolognese is widely associated with Bologna, typically created using an aromatic blend of onions, celery and carrot in addition to ground beef or pork mince, wine and milk as ingredients for its preparation.
Bolognese sauce pairs perfectly with long ribbon-shaped noodles like Tagliatelle; other egg-based noodles such as Fettuccine or Pappardelle may also work well. Tagliatelle holds onto its rich meaty flavors exceptionally well.
To create a healthier version of this dish, switch out regular white pasta for whole-wheat pasta which contains more fiber and essential vitamins and minerals – this choice is popular among endurance athletes looking for ways to increase nutrition intake. In addition, use vegetable stock in place of red wine in this recipe in order to lower its caloric intake.
Berry Parfait
Berry parfaits make an easy and delicious breakfast or snack that can be prepared ahead of time. Layers of yogurt, berries and granola provide an array of proteins, fruits and vegetables, making the parfait an ideal way to start the day right with plenty of energy for activity and productivity. Choosing low sugar granolas as well as dairy or nondairy yogurt products will prevent sudden increases in blood sugar.
Berry parfait recipes offer lower caloric intake than many cakes and other desserts, making them an excellent option for people living with diabetes. Berries contain fiber as well as other vital nutrients that may help lower their blood sugar levels and keep their levels more under control.
Start your morning right and fill up on nutrition quickly and easily by layering yogurt, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries into a glass or jar for a nutritious and quick breakfast option. Sprinkle granola for crunch and texture then drizzle honey or maple syrup for sweet flavor – for an added treat you could top your breakfast off with pieces of soft sponge cake such as pound cake or angel food cake for extra treat factor.
Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are an easy and delicious breakfast solution that are perfect for meal prep. Lasting four days in the fridge, they make for quick preparation in advance.
Overnight oats are extremely flexible, and you can add any combination of ingredients that suit your preferences. For added protein boost, add in some protein powder. Or go savory by incorporating cooked vegetables such as spinach or kale along with fruit, yogurt and berries!
Mix together oatmeal, milk or yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup/honey and salt in a jar/storage container/bowl overnight before refrigerating for best results. After refrigeration has set in, stir it up before enjoying with desired toppings such as berries, nuts or toasted coconut! Just before eating the meal is the optimal time to add delicate or crunchy additions; otherwise overnight soaking could cause them to become soggy requiring you to add additional liquid as necessary for rehydration of oatmeal/toachieve desired results!
