Egg nog recommendation diabetic friendly
How would you fine people make egg nog diabetic friendly? I’m inquiring as I’m diabetic myself & I have always liked the non-alcoholic version of egg nog during the holidays myself.
Best Answer
Eggnog can be easily adjusted for diabetics by removing as many carbs as possible. I recommend using heavy whipping cream and unsweetened almond milk, both of which have 1 or fewer net grams of carbs per serving. For a sweetener, I recommend using erythritol (or the brand name Swerve), as that is the only sweetener that I have come across that has no effects on insulin, blood sugar, or digestion. Here's a low carb eggnog recipe that only amounts to <0.5 g net carbs per serving (2/3 cup).

Can diabetics have egg nog?
\u201cHoliday favorites like pies, cookies and eggnog can raise blood sugar levels to extreme highs,\u201d says Dr. Bhagia. \u201cAdditionally, foods rich in salt and high in fat pose additional risks for prediabetics.\u201dDoes egg nog have a lot of sugar?
\u201cEggnog is high in calories and saturated fat because of the whole milk and heavy cream. It's also loaded with sugar,\u201d says Christy Brissette, R.D., president of 80 Twenty Nutrition. Of course, toss in a shot of rum, and you're adding another 64 calories for a total of about 176 calories per serving.How do you make sugar free eggnog?
