I often have clients who are looking for dessert recipes that will be satisfying, yet appropriate for their diabetes. Many desserts are missing the protein and fiber that help keep us full… but not this one!
Since this recipe requires no baking and only contains 5 ingredients, it is a great idea for anyone looking to make a quick dessert.

I’ve never heard of almond meal, where would you get that? They both sound good I will try them out. Thanks for your help.
You can buy online or look in the flour aisle at your local grocery. Many chains carry them now. Bob’s Red Mill is a brand I’ve used that works really well. Enjoy!
