A “pre-diabetic friendly” recipe should be low in added sugar, balanced in carbs, high in fiber, and include lean protein so it doesn’t spike blood sugar. One simple, post-worthy option is:
🥗 Grilled Chicken & Avocado Power Bowl
6
Ingredients:
1 grilled chicken breast (seasoned lightly)
1 cup leafy greens (spinach or kale)
½ avocado (sliced)
½ cup cooked quinoa (or brown rice)
½ cup cherry tomatoes
¼ cup cucumbers
1 tbsp olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to taste)
Instructions:
Grill or pan-cook the chicken until done, then slice.
Add greens to a bowl as your base.
Layer quinoa, veggies, and avocado on top.
Add sliced chicken.
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season lightly.
Why it works for pre-diabetes:
Balanced carbs (quinoa instead of white rice)
Healthy fats (avocado + olive oil)
High protein (chicken helps stabilize blood sugar)
Fiber-rich veggies slow glucose spikes
