It's hot and hazy here in North Carolina. Great weather for a trip to the beach or pool. Happily, summer fruits and veggies are in abundance at local Farmers Markets and roadside stands. A favorite of mine is watermelon. Watermelon is a high glycemic food, but it is low in carbs, which at least partially balances its effect on blood sugar. You can pair your watermelon with a serving of nuts, another healthy fat, or a serving of protein to smooth out this effect even more.
Peaches are a low glycemic fruit, as are most berries.
Other low glycemic summer produce includes onions, peppers, eggplant, broccoli, cabbage, spinach and lettuce.
Enjoy Summer and try some new recipes. (and don't forget frozen fruits and vegetables for convenience and to avoid waste!)
