Judging from what I've told you so far about my own nutritional preferences, one would easily assume that WanderFoods mainly consists of low- or no-carb dishes. However dramatic a health condition might be, I found it quite impossible to pull through a nutritional regime without any trade-offs: you are finally convinced to take on some additional carbs, because you choose to benefit from something else the dish has to offer instead. And, to be honest, I don't believe in excluding 100% of nutrients: they have a good reason to exist, after all!

This is the case of Telba, a healthy beverage full of fiber, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids which at the same time contains a generous amount of carbs and added sugar.

So why does Telba deserve a spot in the Hall of Fame of WanderFoods?

Rule of thumb when glucose level matters is to go for meals where carbs are not the main part of the dish. Because if they are, about a half-hour after you end your meal, you will be craving for a sweet! Or, at least, I know I did...

Taking carbs completely off the menu is the logical way to avoid cravings, however, carbs are an important source of energy for your body that your digestive system converts into glucose (blood sugar) used as energy for cells, tissues and organs. In a nutshell, no carbs equals no energy, and no energy equals high fatigue. There are many ways around this, one of which is voting for "good" carbs to be part of your dish, a.k.a. carbohydrates that have not been refined and are as whole as they can be.

A classic and simple dish that abides by that logic comes from Greece; it's the infamous Greek "Horiatiki" salad. Although often viewed as a plain salad, it's actually a nutritional meal full enough to serve as your lunch or dinner!

Hello! I'm Stella. Not another food blogger. Actually, this is my first stroll into the culinary territories. Up until know I've sailed through the troubled waters of creative expression, while carefully working through my major project on corporate storytelling. But this side-project is different; This is personal!

All though my life I've had this love/hate passion for food. Processed foods, fatty dishes, oh-so-many carbs and everyday desserts had been my way of the comfort ninja for quite some time. But the older I got, the harder it became to handle the effects of such a diet in my physique.
