How to consume Quinoa without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the portion size of quinoa to prevent a significant spike in blood sugar levels.
Pair with Protein
Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes in your meal to slow down glucose absorption.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Fiber
Include high-fiber vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers to your quinoa dish to further aid in slowing sugar absorption.
Cook Al Dente
Cook quinoa to a slightly firmer texture, which can reduce the extent of the spike in blood glucose levels.
Eat Smaller, Frequent Meals
Instead of having large meals, opt for smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to maintain stable glucose levels.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help maintain stable glucose levels.
Include Vinegar
Add a splash of vinegar to your quinoa dish or consume it as a dressing, as it can help moderate blood sugar spikes.
Exercise
Incorporate a light walk or some form of physical activity after meals to help lower blood sugar levels.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to improve digestion and help your body process the glucose more efficiently.
