Sweetness choices — tap to lower sugar

Use the listed ingredients and amounts. Nutrition, saved shopping and meal planning remain based on this version.

Preparation guidance only. When a supported swap is chosen, Nutrition per serving below shows the adjusted values; filters, sugar screening, exports, Shopping and My Week stay based on the written recipe. A different sweetener does not establish diabetes suitability; total carbs, portion and verified sugars still matter.

Sugar alcohols may cause digestive symptoms; keep xylitol away from dogs. Aspartame must be avoided with PKU. No substitute is universally the healthiest choice.

Diabetes Meal Planning

Use selected screens

Lower sodium: 300 mg sodium or less per stated serving. This is a site guideline, not the FDA "low sodium" label claim.

High fiber: 8 g dietary fiber or more per stated serving.

Heart-healthy tips

Choose no-salt-added cans — regular canned beans and tomatoes can carry 400+ mg sodium per serving.
Beans and corn together give you fiber plus plant protein for steady energy.

Storage & Meal Prep Tips

Applies to: Fresh assembled salad, after assembling. Times assume safe preparation, prompt cooling when needed, a refrigerator at 40°F / 4°C or below, and a freezer at 0°F / -18°C or below.

Refrigerator: After assembling: refrigerate and enjoy within 1 day — dressed greens wilt quickly.

Freezer: Does not freeze well. Fresh greens and raw vegetables lose their crunch when frozen — a texture limit, not a safety one.

To reheat or serve: Serve cold or at room temperature.

Meal prep tip: Prep the components ahead and toss just before serving.
