Top 10 Healthy Juicing Recipes For Diabetics in 2020

Do you suffer from diabetes – or do you know someone who does? It’s very common today, so here are some suggestions for the best juices for diabetics.

 

 

 

Best Juices for Diabetics

 

Pomegranate Juice 

 

Even though pomegranates are quite sweet, the sugars in pomegranate juice do not raise blood sugar levels, which is great news for anyone suffering from diabetes. Pomegranate juice also contains antioxidants which have many health benefits.

Take fresh pomegranate seeds and add them to your blender with a little water. The resulting juice makes a lovely.

 

Green Juice

 

Store-bought juices are designed to sound yummy – but you already know you can’t drink juices made only from sweetened fruit if you have diabetes.

Instead, put a mixture of green, leafy vegetables (e.g. baby spinach, kale) into a blender together with cucumber or celery, and add a few raspberries or blackberries for flavour. Add water and fresh orange juice and you’ve got a tasty green juice that’s also really good for you. And it won’t spike your blood sugar levels. 

 

Bitter Melon Juice

 

Bitter melon (also known as bitter gourd or karela) has been shown to lower blood glucose levels. It tastes very, very bitter, and you should not have more than 2 per day.

To make a juice from it, you can either juice it on its own (if you’re brave!), or add cucumber, lemon and an apple and juice them all together.

You can find bitter melon in Asian stores – it’s used in Indian cooking and it grows in tropical countries across the world.

 

Fresh Orange Juice

 

Avoid store-bought orange juices as they often have added sugar or other ingredients. As a diabetic, you can enjoy a small glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice – ideally with a meal. Or even better, eat an orange – you’ll get the fibre and antioxidant benefits. Oranges have a low glycaemic index.

Fresh Tomato Juice

 

Diabetes sufferers are more prone to blood clots, which can lead to cardiovascular problems. Drinking a small glass of tomato juice daily has been shown to reduce this risk – but make sure it’s unsweetened tomato juice.
