Instead of this

Cauliflower pancake
GL 1.3 per 100 g These offer a massive reduction in glycemic load from 21 to 1.3, significantly stabilizing your blood sugar response.
Almond flour batter
GL 3 per 100 g Using almond flour instead of grain-based flour drops the glycemic load to 3, providing a much slower and steadier energy release.
Baked zucchini fritters (with eggs and whole-grain flour)
GL 7 per 100 g These provide a lower glycemic load of 7 compared to the original 21, making them a much better choice for blood sugar management.
