How to consume Avocado And Cucumber Salad without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or hard-boiled eggs to your salad to help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like a sprinkle of chia seeds or a small handful of nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts) to further stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Vinegar-Based Dressing

Opt for a dressing that includes vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider vinegar, which can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Incorporate Leafy Greens

Enhance your salad with leafy greens like spinach or kale to add fiber and nutrients while keeping glucose levels in check.

Add Legumes

Introduce a small portion of legumes such as chickpeas or lentils to your salad for additional fiber and protein.

Mind the Portion Size

Keep portion sizes of the salad components moderate to avoid excessive carbohydrate intake.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew and savor each bite, which can aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to assist in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Pair with a Walk

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Monitor Ingredients

Be cautious of any added sugars in dressings or toppings that may contribute to glucose spikes. Opt for natural and fresh ingredients whenever possible.
