Sweet BBQ Side
Summer barbecues can be fun, but they do have a way of sending our sweet carb cravings into overload. One of my “go to” favorites for balancing sweet cravings with delicious, healthier options is by adding a small amount of sweet vegetables. Think of carrots, onions, beets, winter squashes, and sweet potatoes. There are also those veggies that give that sweet sensation without necessarily being higher on the glycemic index. Those are turnips, red radishes, and green cabbage.
The best part is they can satisfy those sweet cravings while supplying us with the nutrients that can leave us feeling great too! Here is one of my favorite “go to” recipes for a BBQ or summer outing. Some other options: add some parsnips with your fries!
