Before you know it November will be here and that means it's National Diabetes Month.   This is very dear to me because my grandfather is a diabetic and I also have PCOS.  What does that mean to us?  Well we have to look for delicious treats that are lower in sugar and carbs.  Luckily for us Blue Bunny has come out with a line called Sweet Freedom. What's so special about Blue Bunny®? Blue Bunny® is the first national brand of packaged ice cream and frozen novelties to offer an extensive array of no sugar added options.  Sweet Freedom treats taste indulgent while still meeting key nutritional needs for the sugar conscious consumer.  These delicious treats are lower in carbs, calories and they have no sugar added! So we get to indulge every once in awhile too.  My husband and I love eating ice cream straight from the bowl and they offer half gallons of delicious and creamy flavors like Vanilla, Bunny Tracks, Butter Pecan and Banana Split.

Sweet Freedom with Sweet Treats!

I am so excited to share with you today the new line of Sweet Freedom treats from Blue Bunny®.   A lot of people don't know that I have PCOS, I'm Insulin Resistant and Diabetes runs on both sides of our family.  So you may think it's crazy that I run a blog about desserts!  Before I cooked healthy, I baked a lot and just ate in moderation.  I never worried about the sugar/carbs going into me.  Then I started having some problems and was diagnosed with PCOS and Insulin Resistance.  Once diagnosed I needed to find a balance where we could still enjoy some treats, but also not go overboard.  What we've found that works the best for our family is Sunday through Thursday we eat a low sugar/low carb lifestyle and we're a little more lenient on Friday and Saturday.  At first it took some time to get used to, however now it's like second nature.  Eating this way doesn't make us feel like we're giving up anything and it's gotten my insulin and all of my symptoms under control.
