How to consume beet soup (borscht) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Start by reducing the portion size of the beet soup to minimize the overall carbohydrate intake.
Add Protein
Incorporate a source of protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, alongside your beet soup to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, to your meal to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Pair with Vegetables
Serve the beet soup with non-starchy vegetables, such as broccoli or leafy greens, to increase fiber intake and moderate the glucose response.
Acidity Boost
Squeeze some lemon juice or add a splash of vinegar to the beet soup, as the acidity can help reduce the rise in blood sugar.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and allow your body more time to process the sugars from the beets.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in light exercise, like a short walk, before your meal to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the impact of the sugar spike.
Hydration
Drink a glass of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Timing of Consumption
Consider having beet soup earlier in the day when your body might handle glucose fluctuations more effectively compared to later meals.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your blood sugar levels after consuming beet soup and adjust your strategy as needed based on your individual response.
