How to consume Falafel, Hummus without glucose spikes

Eat Smaller Portions

Reduce the size of your falafel and hummus servings. Smaller portions can help in managing blood sugar levels more effectively.

Pair with Vegetables

Add a variety of non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumbers, or tomatoes to your meal. These foods are low in carbs and can help balance your blood sugar.

Include a Source of Protein

Incorporate lean protein sources like grilled chicken or fish into your meal. Protein can help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Grains

If you’re including bread in your meal, opt for whole-grain options like whole-wheat pita or brown rice, which digest more slowly.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. These can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout your meal. Proper hydration can aid digestion and help in regulating blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat and savor your food. Eating slowly can help your body better manage blood sugar spikes.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Regularly check your blood sugar levels to understand how your body responds to different foods and adjust your dietary choices accordingly.

Experiment with Recipes

Try making falafel and hummus at home using alternative ingredients like chickpea flour or adding more herbs and spices to enhance flavor without increasing sugar content.
