Following a vegetarian diet with diabetes can be a great way to help fight against heart disease. However, many vegetarian recipes can also be high in carbohydrate. To prevent a spike in blood sugar levels, make sure your plant-based menu is rich in fiber and protein with recipes like this Thai Peanut Wrap. By using a reduced carbohydrate, high fiber Flatout flatbread in replacement of a standard wrap high in refined carbohydrates, you can ensure more controlled blood sugar levels after the meal. The addition of protein from edamame along with healthy fats from the peanuts will provide an additional benefit in regulating blood sugar while warding off hunger.

Thanks, David!
