Diabetic Friendly & Lactose/Whey Free

In summary, a recipe is considered diabetic friendly if it uses ingredients that are low in sugar, carbohydrates, and unhealthy fats, and includes high-fiber foods and lean proteins. Not all Pampered Chef recipes are suitable for those with lactose intolerance, but there are lactose-free options and dairy substitutes available. People with diabetes can still enjoy desserts by using natural sweeteners or sugar-free alternatives. For those with lactose intolerance, good alternatives to whey protein include plant-based protein powders like pea, soy, or brown rice protein, as well as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. There are no special tools or products required for cooking diabetic-friendly and lactose/whey-free meals, but a good quality blender or food processor, as well as

Becky - Thanks for the idea. However, the dressing for the salad requires 1/3 a cup of sugar...would that be considered diabetic friendly?
 
It is a bit sugary... but you could probably substitute the sugar with Splenda. In that recipe, I don't believe the sugar is necessary for structural reasons, just to sweeten up the taste.

I've had hosts use Splenda with no noticeable difference in taste.
