Watermelon arugula salad with feta Zero Sugar is my go to meal. I am balancing a demanding IT role and a one month old baby. My blood sugar levels require constant attention but I have very little time. I spent my wife’s pregnancy learning to cook fast meals that do not sacrifice health.
Quick note on blood sugar: Watermelon contains natural sugar so portion control is key. I use the greens and feta to help balance the impact. Monitor your levels and enjoy in moderation.
I needed a side dish that felt fresh and sweet without the sugar crash. This sugar free salad is my solution for those hectic afternoons.
