Hankering for a sweet treat but don’t want to throw in the towel on your meal plan? Fresh baked apples and a Greek yogurt sauce will maintain your healthy blood sugar levels while giving you a little dessert satisfaction. Choose your favorite type of apple; just about any kind will work: Granny Smith, Pink Lady, or my favorite, Fuji. All contain fiber and assist in lowering cholesterol, while delivering powerful antioxidants; MDs recommend eating an apple a day to alleviate oxidative damage and cognitive decline.
