How to consume mixed nuts, sweet or dark chocolate without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of mixed nuts and chocolate you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help manage the glucose response.

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like oats or whole grains with your snack. These can slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Protein

Combine the nuts and chocolate with a protein source such as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Sugar Chocolate

Opt for chocolate with a higher cocoa content (70% or more) and minimal added sugars to reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Snack Timing

Consume your snack after a meal rather than on an empty stomach. This can mitigate the spike effect by taking advantage of the slower digestion of the meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your snack. Adequate hydration can aid in the digestion process and help moderate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after consuming your snack. This can help your body process the sugars more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. This can help you feel satisfied with less food and improve digestion.

Incorporate Vegetables

Add a small serving of non-starchy vegetables, like carrot sticks or cucumber slices, to your snack. These can add bulk without significantly impacting blood sugar.

Regular Monitoring

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different foods affect you, allowing for more personalized adjustments.
