🍽️ Best Paired With (Veg)

• Chia Seed Pudding – High in fiber and healthy fats, helps to stabilize blood sugar levels when paired with a low-carb drink.

🥄 Smart Substitutes

• Unsweetened Coconut Milk – Lower in carbohydrates and can help reduce blood sugar spikes compared to some almond milk brands that contain added sugars.
