Those of you who have GD UK Membership will have a $Those of you who have GD UK Membership will have access to the Millionaire’s Shortbread, Banoffee Pie & the vegan Caramel Slice recipes which means you have a recipe for making sugar free caramel! ⠀ If you’re wanting a different snack, then why not make some plain fresh popped popcorn and coat with drizzles of sugar free caramel sauce & a pinch of sea salt? You’ll only need a fraction of the recipe but the rest can be stored in a jar for another day! ⠀ Due to the ingredients in the caramel it actually helps to pair the popcorn!!! Gotta be a winner right?! 🥳 ⠀ An alternative if you don’t have membership or a popcorn maker and aren’t too keen on trying to make popcorn at home with kernels, try Butterkist sweet & salted, salted or butter MICROWAVE popcorn which is made with sweeteners instead of sugar (please note the popped version contains sugar), or a ready popped salted popcorn which doesn’t contain sugar. This is a carb so the serving should be kept small (20g) and it will need pairing with something eg. nuts, seeds, cheese, melted peanut butter etc. ⠀ . . . #popcorn #freshlypopped #freshlypoppedcorn #saltedcaramelpopcorn #sugarfreecaramel #sugarfreecaramelsauce #sugarfreetoffee #sugarfreetoffeesauce #lowcarbcaramel #lowcarbcaramelsauce #saltedcaramel #sugarfreesaltedcaramelpopcorn #sugarfreesaltedcaramel #ketocaramel #ketocaramelsauce #gestationaldiabetessnack #pairingcarbs #thisisfoodpairing #thisisgdfoodpairing #foodpairingatitsbest #lowcarbnotketo #diabeticsnacks #nocarbcounting #justfoodpairing #birthsnacks #laboursnacks #laborsnacks #eatlittleandoften #3mealsand3snacks #gestationaldiabetes$
