Jello For A Fello

I call this one jello for a fello because it is jello and I am a fello. It’s a really simple dessert so I wont write too much. If you missed the last post, then you can check it out here. This post is about a simple gelatin recipe that is sugar free. I all do is make my favorite flavor of gelatin. Its really easy if you have ever made it, then I put it in the fridge until it is ready. I then place it in the freezer until it is icy. Then I take it out, put a dab of sugar free whipped topping and then It is ready to eat. I said it was simple!

Diabetic Peanut Butter Buster Made Easy

One of the biggest problems that diabetics have today is all our fault collectively as human beings. We could just take what the world gave us as in fruits and vegetables and animals for what they were – we had to have more. Apples, berries, and nuts were simply just not enough. Out greedy taste buds craved the sweet stuff. So, natural what do you think most diabetics want to eat? If you guessed desserts then you deserve a medal. That was a tad bit of sarcasm for you guys. But really, the human mind is constructed in such a way that it always years for what it cant have. That’s my opinion at least. That we always want what we cannot have. Therefore, most diabetics want to have desserts. What I have learned to do as a diabetic is to readjust my idea of what a dessert actually is. I make all kinds of desserts that I think are tasty like this one here.




Many people just don’t see a bowl of baked apples as a good dessert, but I do. It tastes good with granny smith apples and a tad bit of sugar free whipped topping. My doctor has advised me to stay away from sugary foods, so that is what I will do. I will do whatever it takes and make adjustments where needed. So, the dessert that I am writing about today is one that I created for myself with my own creativity. Doesn’t that make me special. I love peanuts so I made a version of a peanut butter buster parfait – except that it has a little less buster and a lot more pudding. I use pudding, sugar free whipped topping, and peanuts. Sugar free ice cream tends to have a decent amount of carbohydrates so I use sugar free chocolate pudding instead. I just layer them all in a small cup. I eat it in small proportions so that I get just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. It’s a pretty simple layout really. I dab in a thin layer of pudding, then some sugar free whipped topping, a couple of peanuts and then repeat about three times. Tastes great to me. Im not really surprised that other people have tried the same diabetic dessert because it was so simple. I have always loved to use my creativity when it comes to creating desserts. It was really either create stuff from my own ideas or just not have desserts at all.

Diabetic Banana Pudding Made Easy

The reason that people love to go out and eat is based on two different factors. One is that people love the taste and the other is the presentation. Yep, its amazing how a few tweaks in the presentation can make a dessert more enjoyable. So, today I would like to talk about a easy diabetic dessert - banana pudding recipe that I have been tweaking for years. Now, there are two ways to make this tasty treat. One is the hard way and the other is the easy way. I don’t know about you folks, but I like doing things the easy way. Therefore, I use a sugar free banana pudding mix. I think there is a sugar free banana cream pudding as well. So it basically calls for a package of sugar free pudding, some sugar free vanilla wafers, and some sugar free whipped topping. Now, I also sometimes use vanilla pudding and add some bananas. It gives the dessert a more natural texture and taste.




This recipe takes all of about five minutes for me to make; although it does take some more time for the pudding to set in the refrigerator. Anyways, the idea is simple and the rest is left up to creativity. I like to lay a vanilla wafer and a banana slice on the bottom, then add a layer of pudding, and then reapeat.

Quick and Easy Diabetic Milkshake

After several years of being a diabetic, it’s safe to say that you learn a thing or two. I can honestly say that I have over the years. I’ve learned how to manage my diabetes and how certain foods are metabolized and effect my body. Over those years I have found a few low sugar and low carbohydrate desserts that I like and that work with my particular case of diabetes. So today I just felt like writing about a quick and easy diabetic desserts that I have held onto for years.

I cannot say that I have had this dessert recipe for ages because well, sugar free ice cream hasn’t been around that long. Also, sugar free oreo cookies haven’t been around that long either. However, in the past I just used any sugar free chocolate cookie that I could get my hands on. Man, I have to take my hat off to the people that think about providing the public with sugar free goodness. It has really made me happy. Anyways, this recipe is simple. The ingredients include: a serving of sugar free ice cream, a couple of sugar free Oreos, and a splash of skim milk. I have a special little blender that mixes all of these ingredients up in a jiffy, but I guess that any old blender will do the trick. Once it is all nice and blended it makes a tasty treat for me whenever I get a sweet tooth. Whenever I decide to have a sugar free milkshake, I always have it in moderation. This means that I don’t have a big milkshake, its more like a small glass; just enough to satisfy my taste buds. I also like to make other desserts like chocolate pudding. A friend of mine made some one day and she engineered it with splenda so that it was sugar free or almost sugar free for that matter. You can check that diabetic recipe if you click here.

Top Five Easy Diabetic Desserts

The following list of diabetic recipes has to be my favorite. Think of it as a top five list. The first sugar free dessert recipe is easy as pie. It involves some sugar free cookies – I use sugar free Oreos , some sugar free ice cream, a bit of skim milk, and a blender. I simply blend them all up to make icy cool, cookies n’ cream milkshake that is low in sugar and carbohydrates. Whenever I eat this sugar free diabetic dessert, I usually make this milkshake in small quantities because I have my desserts in moderation.


The next recipe involves using sugar free chocolate pudding, sugar free whipped topping, and some pie crust. I use wheat pie crust whenever I can find it, but all I do is make the sugar free chocolate pudding, then place it in the pie crust when it is done, and then put the whipped topping on top. This makes for a tasty chocolate mousse pie whenever I get a hankering for some chocolate.

This next one is a favorite of mine during the warm months. There is nothing like a few, cool, perfectly squared pieces of gelatin on a hot day. I use the sugar free version to fit my particular diet and then top it off with some sugar free/ fat free whipped topping.

One of my favorite fruit desserts uses granny smith apples and a bit of granulated splenda brown sugar. I take the skin off of the apple, dice it up, and then warm it up. After that, I add the granulated splenda to give it a bit more flavor. To make this even better I add some sugar free whipped topping.

The last of these easy diabetic desserts is a sugar free popsicle recipe. It real simple, all I do is get a set of those homemade popsicle trays, and then get some sugar free juice. Once the sugar free juice is frozen, it makes a tasty frozen popsicle treat. Thanks for reading this personal recipe, have a great day.

Diabetic Apple Pie The Easy Way

Today I am here to discuss diabetic dessert recipes. Well actually, I am a diabetic and have always liked to find new and exciting things to eat. The one ingredient that I really like, sugar, has to be limited. Actually, I try to find desserts that do not have sugar in them – or at least originally. I have found that carbohydrates eventually turn into sugars in the body. So one day, I had the bright idea of trying to make an apple pie with an artificial sweetener such as splenda. The idea was simple really all I needed to do was get a pie crust, preferably wheat, some apples, and some splenda. I believe that the recipe called for brown sugar as well as regular sugar, so I found both regular splenda and brown sugar splenda to replace the two ingredients. So, after preparing this tasty, easy, dessert, I was quite surprised. It tasted really good for being made with real granny smith apples and an artificial sweetener.


I just love these apple desserts for diabetics, so I would like to talk about another recipe that I enjoy making. I use granny smith apples to make it, but all it really is, is baked apples. The idea is simple, quick, and easy, but the final product is delicious.

Diabetic Jello Made Easy

Some of the easiest diabetic desserts to make are usually some the most common. Yep, many of those tasty treats are right under my nose and I don’t even realize it. It’s funny how stuff like that turns out. Well, finding desserts has always been something that I enjoyed. As it turns out, it never gets old trying to find something new and exciting to try. However, most companies don’t always cater to the diabetics needs. I will elaborate on this later after this diabetic recipe. The amount of food for people with diabetes in grocery stores these days isn’t that impressive. However, there are more and more items being adding.


One category of items that I have particularly enjoyed is easy sugar free desserts. One of my favorites would have to be gelatin. In the last post we talked about easy diabetic chocolate pudding; which also comes sugar free. Anyways, gelatin is just one of those delectable dessert items that most people forget about. I know that I usually try too hard. Therefore naturally I would go right over the simplistic thought of making jello. Sugar free gelatin is easy to make and can usually be prepared in less than an hour. The longest part of completing the recipe is letting it chill in the refrigerator. Anyways, thanks for reasing this article on jello or gelatin. Have a great day.

Diabetic Chocolate Pudding Made Easy

After reviewing many of the “diabetic desserts” on really big sites, I am baffled to say the least. I know from my doctors instructions that I am really supposed to watch the amount of sugar intake. Therefore, I have been using artificial sweeteners like splenda to compose tasty dessert recipes. However, almost all of these recipes that I am finding involve using real sugar. It’s quite interesting.

Anyways, there is a chocolate pudding recipe that is simply top notch. Like most of the desserts that I eat, this one is sugar free. It may even be fat free, but I really don’t remember. Its made by the biggest brand of gelatin there is, but this version is for chocolate lovers. It’s as simple as adding a little skim milk and then the equivalent of about five miles of churning, a bit of time in the ice box, and it is ready to eat. Now that five miles of mixing had a little imaginative fun behind it. I really don’t think that I could honestly mix for that long. Think about that, one full turn in a mixing bowl is about a foot – give or take a few inches. A mile is more than a thousand feet, so that would be a lot of mixing for a dessert. I believe that this diabetic chocolate pudding recipe really only takes a couple minutes to completely mix. Refrigeration time really isn’t that long either so all in all, this one is pretty simple. Simple is good though. With all of its simplicity, this dessert recipe is affordable as well.

What Is An Easy Diabetic Dessert?

The key to making or finding a low glycemic dessert is simple really. It takes two different pieces of character. One is patience and the other is effort. Anyone that has diabetes understands that patients is something very important. I know that I had to have a lot of patience when it came to eating the right foods, or the foods that my doctor wanted me to consume. I used to really enjoy eating tasteful desserts like pecan and apple pie, but these days they are not the right choice. Lately, I have been indulging in a quest to find the perfect, simple diabetic dessert. However, that quest would turn out to be a little harder than expected.


I think that the most commonly discovered or liked desserts out there are sugar free ones. Easy diabetic desserts that are sugar free are so popular now because it seems that everyone is on some kind of diet. Well, its that and because they are so quick and simple. One of the easiest would have to be some of the sugar free jello brand desserts. Really, these little recipes take all of about five minutes, not to mention that they taste awesome. They are probably high in sodium though. However, it seems like easiest diabetic desserts will change from person to person. It depends on what you like really. If you like a  diabetic dessert that is more complicated than lets say – a five minute jello recipe, then it may seem easier just because. That may sound confusing, but there is much truth behind it. So what is the best idea for finding easy diabetic desserts? Well, the internet is a great source, but a more exciting, recipe rich solution would have to be a magazine. What you say, a diabetic dessert magazine? Do they even make magazines specifically about diabetic desserts? Sure they do and they are not that hard to find.

Diabetic Dessert Treasure Hunt

A diabetic dessert really lies in the eyes of the beholder. I mean really, diabetes is a really complex disease. I guess it’s the same as the old saying – “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” One person with diabetes might consider distasteful what another person finds quite tasty. That’s the way it works. There are still others who don’t even indulge in trying to figure out what delectable desserts they can create with their intellect. Some are content with their regular foods such as salads and what not. That is cool, because those items taste great. It really all boils down to what you consider tasty and what your doctor recommends. I always listen to what my endocrinologist has to say about my diet and I monitor my diabetes very closely. However, I find it fun to try and discover new easy diabetic dessert recipes. I have found many interesting recipes here.
Anyways, finding recipes that work boils down to understanding the foods or items that work with your case of diabetes. After obtaining that bit of information it gets pretty easy. I make lists, check them twice, and then combine what I think would present a merry item. It really is that simplistic once you set your mind to what you are doing. That is the key – I like to get into what I am doing. You know, have fun with the whole process. It simply makes the whole process of finding desserts for diabetics much easier and less difficult.
