Tips for Success & Diabetes Support

To maximise health benefits and keep glucose levels stable, use a zero-calorie sweetener like monk fruit or erythritol instead of honey or syrup. The high fibre and healthy fat content in almond flour naturally slow sugar absorption, making these a "low-glycemic" choice. For an extra boost, add a tablespoon of chia seeds for more fibre. Always pair these treats with a glass of water to stay hydrated and help your body process the natural nutrients efficiently.
