EASY SHAKSHUKA RECIPE:

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons olive oil
6 eggs
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 28 oz. can low sodium crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1/4 cup feta
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Over medium heat, warm the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or pot.

2. Add the onions, bell peppers, and salt, to taste. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until the onions are translucent.

3. Add the garlic, tomato paste, cumin, and paprika. Cook, stirring frequently, for 1 minute, or until the garlic and spices are fragrant.

4. Add the can of crushed tomatoes and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, reserving half the cilantro for the garnish. Stir, and let the mixture come to a simmer. Reduce the heat and cook for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

5. Turn off the heat. Around the edges, use a spoon to make a well in the mixture for each egg. Crack each egg directly into each well.

6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the egg whites are mostly set and opaque white.

7. Top the shakshuka with crumbled feta and the remaining chopped cilantro. Serve, and enjoy!

Eat these breakfast foods for better daytime blood sugar!

1) Try cottage cheese with pistachios and blueberries. COTTAGE CHEESE is one of the best dairy sources of PROTEIN, which helps to slow your digestion. PISTACHIOS supply OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, which have been shown to lower levels of artery-clogging LDL cholesterol, while increasing levels of artery-cleansing HDL cholesterol. BLUEBERRIES are a good source of MANGANESE, and a great source of VITAMIN K. VITAMIN K aids blood clotting, and MANGANESE plays a role in blood sugar regulation.

2) Try a cauliflower banana chia seed smoothie. CAULIFLOWER is a non-starchy cruciferous vegetable that is low in carbohydrates but rich in essential micronutrients, and studies show that the high fiber content within cauliflower can aid weight management and post-meal glucose levels. CHIA SEEDS are a great source of glucose-stabilizing FIBER, along with other powerful antioxidants like CHLOROGENIC ACID, QUERCETIN, and KAEMPFEROL. BANANAS are a good source of POTASSIUM. This mineral is vitally important, as it aids heart contractions, and it has been found to reduce blood pressure and the risk of stroke.

3) Try steel-cut oatmeal with walnuts and apples. STEEL-CUT OATMEAL is a rich source of SOLUBLE FIBER, especially BETA-GLUCAN. Beta-glucan has also been found to improve insulin sensitivity while reducing artery-clogging LDL cholesterol. Studies show that consuming WALNUTS regularly can significantly decrease total cholesterol and triglycerides for type 2 diabetics. APPLES contain PECTIN, a type of soluble fruit fiber that has been shown to significantly reduce blood cholesterol and the development of atherosclerosis.

4) Try avocado smash with pumpkin seeds on whole grain toast. Avocado supplies heart-healthy MONOUNSATURATED FATS, which have been proven to benefit insulin sensitivity. PUMPKIN SEEDS are a wonderful source of POLYUNSATURATED FATS, which help to reduce artery-damaging LDL cholesterol levels. WHOLE GRAINS give you powerful PHYTOCHEMICALS, including LIGNANS, which have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, while aiding blood sugar regulation.

5) Try shakshuka. This egg and tomato classic is served with some of the best ingredients of the Mediterranean diet, including bell peppers, garlic, onions, parsley, and olive oil, along with antioxidant-rich spices like cumin and paprika. A recent study found that type 2 diabetic and prediabetic participants who ate one egg per day had better fasting glucose levels than participants who did not eat eggs.
