Health Tips:

• This is an excellent recipe for people with diabetes mellitus.
  
  
  
  It can be consumed as dessert, without the high calories and fat!

• We use egg whites instead of whole eggs, so that the fat can be minimized and we still get good quality protein.

• Non fat yoghurt also provides protein which prevents insulin spikes and regulates the release of glucose into the blood.

• Fructose is used instead of plain sugar, as it has shown to be beneficiary for diabetics.
  
  
  
  It gets absorbed slower and is released more slowly compared to normal table sugar, hence preventing fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

• Raspberries are a good source of Dietary fiber, Vitamin C, manganese and a variety of other nutrients which have significant health benefits.
