How to consume Pretzels without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Eating pretzels with a source of protein like cheese or a handful of nuts can slow down the absorption of glucose, helping to reduce the spike.

Choose Whole Grain Pretzels

Opt for whole-grain or multigrain pretzels which contain more fiber and have a slower impact on blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Limit the amount of pretzels you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can prevent a significant spike in glucose levels.

Add Fiber

Incorporate foods high in fiber such as a small serving of vegetables or a slice of whole grain bread to help moderate your blood sugar response.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after eating pretzels as hydration can aid in metabolic functions and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate a Salad

Pair your pretzels with a side salad topped with leafy greens and a vinaigrette to add bulk and fiber to your meal, assisting in blood sugar management.

Monitor Timing

Avoid consuming pretzels on an empty stomach where the impact on your glucose levels might be more pronounced.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming pretzels to help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to give your body time to process the food and potentially reduce the spike.

Consider Alternatives

For a similar crunchy snack, try air-popped popcorn or baked chickpeas, which may have a more moderate impact on blood sugar levels.
