This months Healthy Supplies choices.

This month I have varied away from my usual gluten free products due to having a diabetic in the house. This month I have decided to go with low GI products that slow burn in the body. Also chosen high fibre foods to help out as  well.

This month I chose various different sugars to test out which one is preferred in hot drinks, as well as can you tell the difference in baking.

sugars

I chose

• agave sugar, that was a mistake I meant to choose the syrup, but ithas a low GI., coconut sugar, which I use regularly now, fruit sugar has a GI of 19, Sukrin sweetner has a GI of 0 

next comes the added fibre, fine oatmeal,  that I will add to cakes and biscuits.oatbran and oatgerm again lowers the GI of cakes, biscuits and flap jack, jumbo oats for the same reason, light brown self raising flour - the wheat's bran and germ which makes this flour more fibrous than typical white plain flour

some dried fruit to add more fibre and some flavour - dried apples. dried apricots, figs,  as well as pumpkin and sunflower seeds, these add minerals to the diet.
