This low glycemic vibrant salad is not only easy and delicious but also happens to be supportive of blood sugar balance! Coleslaw can be a great way to increase your consumption of cabbage but unfortunately so many coleslaw recipes and pre-bought salads have a lot of dried fruits that spike blood sugar. Not to mention that many are made with vegetable oils. This coleslaw recipe was strategically designed to have colorful polyphenols for less inflammation, lots of sulfur vegetables for hormone balance, fiber for gut health and healthy fats for blood sugar balance.
The best way to address inflammation and blood sugar imbalances is getting consistent with strategic meal plans that take you from eating “healthy” to eating optimal. Join The Being Collective, my membership community for weekly anti-inflammatory meal plans, weekly recorded calls with myself and my functional medicine nutritionists, monthly Q&As with me, and an empowering community of women. One healthy meal or one workout isn’t going to move the needle but a proven system and long-term consistency will!
