How to consume High protein salad without glucose spikes

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats like avocado or olive oil to your salad. These can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Grains

If your salad includes grains, opt for whole grains such as quinoa or barley, which are digested more slowly.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Include plenty of non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, cucumbers, and bell peppers to increase fiber content.

Include Legumes

Beans, lentils, or chickpeas can add both protein and fiber, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Limit Sugary Dressings

Avoid store-bought dressings that are high in sugar. Instead, make your own using vinegar, lemon juice, and herbs.

Portion Control

Keep an eye on portion sizes, especially for ingredients like fruit or high-carb vegetables that can cause spikes.

Pre-Meal Hydration

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help with digestion and absorption.

Incorporate Nuts and Seeds

Add almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds for extra fiber and protein to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Chew Slowly

Take your time eating and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and help your body respond to food intake more effectively.

Monitor Protein Sources

Choose lean protein options and avoid those with added sugars or heavy sauces which can exacerbate spikes.
