How to consume Beetroot salad without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas in your beetroot salad to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices, nuts, or seeds (such as flaxseeds or chia seeds) to slow down the absorption of sugar.

Include Leafy Greens

Mix in leafy greens like spinach, kale, or arugula to increase fiber content and reduce the impact of the sugars in beetroot.

Use Vinegar-Based Dressings

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

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes by limiting the amount of beetroot in the salad, balancing it with other lower carbohydrate ingredients.

Add Beans or Lentils

Including beans or lentils can provide additional fiber and protein, aiding in the reduction of glucose spikes.

Snack on Nuts Pre-Meal

Have a small handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts before your meal to help control blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before your meal to help with digestion and slow down sugar absorption.

Choose Whole Grains as a Side

If you’re including a side, opt for whole grains like quinoa or barley to complement the salad and balance blood sugar effects.

Incorporate Citrus Fruits

Add small amounts of citrus fruits like oranges or grapefruit, which can provide fiber and beneficial vitamins without a significant increase in sugar levels.
