Diabetic-Friendly Berry Chia Parfait

Diabetic-Friendly Berry Chia Parfait is built to be delicious and practical while aligning with healthy eating principles. For steadier energy, it pairs carbohydrates with fiber and lean protein, favoring low‑glycemic choices like beans, intact whole grains, and plenty of vegetables. It fits a Mediterranean, heart‑forward approach: lots of plants, olive oil, lean proteins, and satisfying textures. Serve with a big side of vegetables and a whole‑grain or legume base for extra fiber, and taste as you go—layering herbs and acids can make low‑salt cooking sing. Always follow your clinician’s guidance for personalized targets.
