How to consume Air Popped Popcorn without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Combine your popcorn with a source of protein such as a handful of almonds, a piece of low-fat cheese, or a serving of Greek yogurt to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats, like a small serving of avocado or a few slices of olives, to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates from the popcorn.

Portion Control

Keep your popcorn portions moderate. Measure out a serving size to avoid overeating, which can contribute to larger glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water alongside your popcorn to aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Mix your popcorn with a small amount of high-fiber foods such as chia seeds or flaxseeds, which can help slow the absorption of sugar.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, choose popcorn that is specifically labeled as whole grain to ensure it has more fiber content.

Monitor and Adjust Timing

Consume popcorn as a part of a balanced meal or snack, rather than on an empty stomach, to moderate glucose spikes.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating popcorn to help reduce blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Body's Response

Keep track of how your body responds to popcorn and adjust portions or pairings accordingly.

Diversify Your Snacks

Occasionally replace popcorn with other low-spike snacks, such as a small apple with peanut butter or carrot sticks with hummus, to keep your diet varied and balanced.
