Hmm could be a possibility as I've always got raspberries in for my breakfast, would need to get chia seeds though and don't think my local premiere stock those!! haha xx

 

[mikeyB]

More peanut butter

 

[Beck S]

My old work colleague used to have it with beetroot.

 

[kentish maid]

Dairylea spread or triangles. Somewhere I saw peanut butter and banana so tried it, better than I had expected

 

[Kaylz]

Hmm i like beetroot but not sure if I'd try them together and if I went down the cheese route it would be proper cheese as less carbs and stronger flavour x

 

[Amigo]

Maybe grate some of your favourite chocolate over it Kaylz. They recommend peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches but maybe too carby so a dark chocloate could be a good contrast to the sweetness.

Also bacon and tomatoes but not sure that appeals to me. Then again I don’t eat peanut butter but I quite like those peanut butter cups.

Ohh fab idea Amigo, I knew you'd be along to help me out soon!
Have you tried the ButterFinger cups that Asda have? They starting doing them in peanut butter cups and coconut cups but I see online they've now added hazelnut butter cups, think they are about a gram more carb at 12.something, just thought I'd mention it xx

Got mine in Aldi but all other supermarkets sell them these days x

 

[Kaylz]

I don't really have a major supermarket where I am! lol, I do have Lidl but I'm not making a trip just for those haha x

I quite like the idea of peanut butter ad bacon.. Interesting combination, noted for future.

Banana and peanut butter are amazing together.
I know lots of people say that bananas are bad because they’re higher in carbs than a lot of fruit, but I have found that if I get the really small ones I don’t get any spikes at all. In fact if I use my normal ratio for what all the charts tell me is the carbs in a banana, I get a hypo.
I did learn quite early by experimenting that weighing the unpeeled banana is a huge waste of time because they vary a lot in the proportion of the total weight that you actually eat, so now I peel first. If the total carbs is more than I want I wrap half up in cling film and have it later.
Most of the bananas I eat come up between 10 and 16g carbs on my nutriscales (peeled weight). I then reduce my insulin dose for that by 10%.

 

[Kaylz]

@Radders I haven't had a banana since the month I was diagnosed which I a shame really as I loved them , at the moment there is no way I could add banana into the mix x

 

[khskel]

Chicken and chilli. A bit like an instant say.

 

[Kaylz]

@Radders btw what are nutriscales? x

Scales that give you nutritional information from a database of foods stored in them. If you search for nutritional scales plenty usually come up. I was given a set by my clinic and replaced it myself from Amazon when it died.

I’m sorry to hear that Kaylz. Maybe that’s a target you can set yourself and work up to it, I do think bananas have been given an unfair reputation in Diabetes circles!
