How to consume Salad without glucose spikes
Add Protein
Incorporate lean protein sources such as grilled chicken, turkey, tofu, or legumes to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Add healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts to your salad to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Choose Whole Grains
If you include grains in your salad, opt for quinoa, barley, or farro as these are better at moderating blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Ingredients
Include plenty of fiber-rich vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, and bell peppers to slow the digestion process.
Mind Your Dressing
Opt for homemade dressings with minimal added sugars, such as a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil and vinegar.
Add Beans or Lentils
These are excellent for adding both protein and fiber, making your salad more filling and reducing blood sugar spikes.
Use Vinegar or Lemon Juice
Adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice can help with blood sugar control.
Portion Control
Be mindful of portion sizes, especially when it comes to adding fruits or starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes or corn.
Opt for Low-Sugar Vegetables
Focus more on non-starchy vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and leafy greens.
Hydrate Adequately
Make sure to drink water before and with your meal to help with digestion and overall metabolic processes.
