I make a smoothie every morning. It's always different depending on what fruit or vegetables I have around. One thing that I put into my smoothie is peanut butter. I use the unsalted kind.
Now, "a new study, released in the current British Journal of Nutrition, showed that consuming peanut butter or peanuts for breakfast can control blood sugar throughout most of the day, even after eating a high carbohydrate lunch. In addition to this "Second Meal Effect," peanuts and peanut butter caused a significant reduction in the desire to eat for up to 12 hours and a significant increase in the secretion of the hormone PYY that promotes satiety and feelings of fullness.
Try pairing a whole grain bagel with peanut butter instead of butter or cream cheese, or add a handful of peanuts to oatmeal for a great high fiber, high protein meal option that will keep you feeling fuller longer."
Almonds will also help control blood sugar.
