A person with diabetes is always on the lookout for healthy meal options when it comes to managing their blood sugar levels. Nothing can be better than a healthy chicken salad when it comes to having a satiating and delectable meal.
Chicken is a lean source of protein, which helps promote satiety, stabilise blood sugar levels, and support muscle health. Including plenty of fibre-rich vegetables in the salad, such as mixed greens, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onion, adds essential nutrients and promotes digestive health. Fibre also aids in slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to better blood sugar control.
