Slaw

So....I have been out of commission for about a week with a kidney stone.  UGH!!!  Not fun at all!!!
I ended up with a UTI on top of that....so let's just say it has been a memorable week....and not in a good way!  I am pretty sure that the change in diet and weight loss contributed to the stone coming out.  The doctor said it was definitely possible.  Added to that is the fact that I began drinking the warm lemon water about 2 months ago.  Lemon water will help clean your kidneys and will dissolve uric acid....which is what most stones are made of.  I think I got just the right combination of all these to cause the stone to pass!  Not intentional...but glad it is done!!  LOL!!  It was a very small stone, but painful none the less.  Anyway...enough of my yuck!  I wanted to post about some very good slaw I found.  You may be familiar with it, but it was like gold to me when I found it.  It is called Green Giant Fresh Broccoli Slaw.  It has 5 carbs per serving and 4 serving per bag.  It has 2 dietary fiber, which leaves 3 net carbs.  It does contain 2 sugar carbs.    I just mix it with my Just Mayo, salt, and pepper.  It is delicious with a hamburger patty or chopped sirloin, or steak!  It makes for a great lunch.  The first time I ate it, I felt like I was eating something that I should not eat....it was that good!
I love it and thought you might as well!  Here is a picture of the bag.  I get it at Walmart in the fresh veggie section.
What are some things you have found that don't spike your sugar?  I would love to hear about them!
