Introduction
For those who are newly diagnosed with diabetes, planning meals can be daunting. Eating healthy is essential, but it cannot be easy to know what is good for you and what isn’t. Fortunately, registered dietitians have developed a simple meal plan that takes all the stress out of meal planning while still providing your body with the nutrients it needs. In this video, we’ll show you how to prepare delicious Muffin-Tin Omelets with Broccoli, Ham & Cheddar for breakfast and give you a glimpse of what a healthy day of eating looks like for a diabetes-friendly diet.

Prep Ingredients
The first step in any recipe is gathering all the necessary ingredients. You’ll need eggs, broccoli, ham, cheddar cheese, milk, salt, and pepper for this recipe. Wash and chop the broccoli into small pieces, shred the cheese, and dice the ham. Then, beat the eggs in a bowl and add the milk, salt, and pepper.

Assemble Muffin-Tin Omelets
With the ingredients prepped, it’s time to assemble the muffin-tin omelets. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, then evenly divide the broccoli, ham, and cheese among the cups. Finally, pour the egg mixture into each cup, filling them about 3/4 complete.

Bake the omelets in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are cooked. Once done, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the cups.

Diabetes Meal Plan
Eating a healthy diet is crucial for managing diabetes. The Muffin-Tin Omelets are a perfect choice for breakfast, as they are packed with protein and veggies to keep you full and satisfied for hours. Try a turkey and avocado wrap or a grilled chicken salad with veggies for lunch. Grilled salmon with roasted vegetables or broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken breasts are tasty for dinner. And for snacks, reach for fresh fruit or vegetables with hummus or nut butter.

It’s important to remember to monitor your carbohydrate intake throughout the day and consult with a registered dietitian to tailor your meal plan to your specific needs.
