High Fiber Food - Low Carb Snack - Great for Type 2 Diabetes - GG Bran Crispbread

Herbed White-fish on GG

2 fillets of your favorite white fish (cod, tilapia or flounder work well) seasoned with red and black pepper, sauteed in Pam or a half teaspoon of olive oil

1 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice

red and black pepper, to taste

1/4 of a teaspoon of finely grated parmesan

2 scallions, minced

1/4 cup of your favorite whole tomatoes, sliced very thin

Season, then saute’ each side of the fish until golden brown and the fish is thoroughly cooked.

Place the fish in a bowl and let it cool.  Gently mash the fish with a fork, and add a little more pepper to your fish.  You may add a sprinkling of your favorite herbs, such as tarragon, fresh or dried basil or oregano.

Add the scallions and the lemon juice and gently combine the ingredients with a rubber spatula or a large spoon.

Top a GG Scandinavian Bran Crispbread cracker with your thinly sliced tomato.  Sprinkle the tomato with some of the grated parmesan. Spoon about a tablespoon’s worth of the sauteed fish combination onto a GG cracker.

You can even place the topped cracker in the oven for a few minutes, to warm the fish up again and melt the parmesan.  I do recommend brushing the tomato with a little olive oil beforehand, to keep it from getting too dry in the heating process.

Serve!!!!

This is a fantastic healthy appetizer to serve to your guests, or for you to snack on as well.

If you try this recipe, please give me some feedback.  I really enjoyed it when I put it together.

GG Bran Crispbread Sprinkles: Fabulous Fiber Flakes!

Those of us who want to lose weight often face one big barrier to success: hunger!

By Joanne Eglash

Here’s how it typically happens: it’s 10 a.m., and you’re at work. Around you, co-workers are happily enjoying glazed donuts and croissants, sipping extra-large cappuccinos with whipped cream on top. And there you sit, gloomily staring at your bag of rubbery carrot and celery sticks. You’re hungry – and boring vegetables don’t help satisfy that yearning for something sweet and filling! So you give in, accept that raspberry jelly doughnut that your manager is offering…and then figure that since you’ve gone off your diet, you might as well have pizza for lunch.

Or maybe it’s dinner time. The rest of your family is enjoying huge servings of meat loaf. And all you get is a boring, skinless chicken breast. It’s dry; it’s tasteless, and you’re still hungry after you’ve eaten it. Result: you eat the chicken…AND a slice of meatloaf with mashed potatoes and extra butter.

The Solution: the NEW GG Bran Crispbread Sprinkles

The wonderful folks at GG have created the perfect solution to those hunger pangs and feeling of diet boredom: a crushed version of the GG Scandinavian Bran Crispbread crackers, called Sprinkles!

Why and how it works:

¨ Sprinkles contain fiber, that magical ingredient that helps you feel full fast – without hunger! The result: no more grumbly tummies and longing for “more.” It’s the perfect ingredient to fit into your healthy food lifestyle.

¨ Sprinkles are so versatile and easy to use that you can create your own fabulous recipes with them – or use ones that the GG staff and content customers have invented.

For example:

¨ Just take the easy-to-access wide-mouthed GG Sprinkles tub, measure out one serving of three tablespoons (10 ounces), and try one of the delicious Sprinkle recipes. You can even substitute my turkey meat loaf recipe for your family’s favorite traditional meat loaf. You’ll have a healthier family – and you’ll all love the fabulous flavor!

¨ For those mid-morning hunger pangs, set aside those rubbery raw vegetables. Instead, take a small container of vanilla low-fat or non-fat yogurt. Combine one serving of Sprinkles with one-half teaspoon of cinnamon and two to three packets of Equal or Splenda. Mix in the sweetened spicy Sprinkles, freeze for an hour, and enjoy! This recipe makes a great high fiber snack and is ideal for adding to your low carb food list.

By including Sprinkles in your diet, you can control your appetite much more successfully – and tastefully! As a sample of what’s possible, try my recipe for turkey loaf: 

4 tbsp. low-sodium teriyaki sauce
1 egg
3 tbsp. tomato paste
2 packets of Splenda or Equal
1 teaspoon Italian herbs
½ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ cup GG Sprinkles
1 pound of ground turkey meat
½ cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon of GG Sprinkles

Combine the teriyaki sauce, egg, and tomato paste thoroughly. Mix in the turkey meat, and then thoroughly combine the artificial sweetener, Italian herbs, garlic sauce, and Sprinkles into the turkey mixture. If you prefer a more “tomato-ey” flavor, add one-half to one additional tablespoon of tomato paste.

Use a non-fat spray on a loaf pan, smooth in the turkey mixture, and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the center of the loaf is fully cooked. Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of GG Sprinkles and shredded cheese over the loaf, and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Enjoy!

High Fiber Salmon Patties

Submitted by Priscilla Cole

- 4 GG Bran Crispbread Crackers (or equal amount GG Fiber Sprinkles)
- 1 Can of Salmon (Undrained)
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp. Old Bay or other Seasoning Mix (optional)
- 2 Tbs. Olive Oil

In a medium mixing bowl, begin breaking crackers into small bits by hand. (think loosely crumbled cracker consistency) Add salmon contents and break fish apart with a fork. Some people prefer to remove the bones, but they are perfectly edible and a good source of calcium. Mix egg and seasonings in with the mixture. Form into 5 to 7 patties. More water can be added to mixture if it’s too dry to keep its shape. Heat olive oil on medium-high heat and cook patties until browned on both sides.

Uses for salmon patties are limitless. Serve in a sandwich, on a salad, or over rice. Patties store well and reheat well for packed lunches. You family or guests will never guess at how simple these are to make or how good they are for you!
