How to consume turkish chickpea salad without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of lean protein to your meal, such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu, to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or a handful of nuts such as almonds or walnuts to your salad to moderate the blood sugar response.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Increase the volume of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, cucumber, or bell peppers in your salad to add fiber and bulk without spiking blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If you’re adding any grains, opt for whole-grain options like quinoa or brown rice, as they are digested more slowly than refined grains.

Limit Added Sugars

Avoid or minimize added sugars in the dressing or other salad ingredients. Opt for a homemade vinaigrette with lemon juice or vinegar and olive oil.

Consume Vinegar

Consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar to your salad, as vinegar has been shown to help lower blood sugar spikes.

Eat Smaller Portions

Monitor portion sizes to ensure you're not consuming too many carbohydrates in one sitting, which can contribute to blood sugar increases.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more efficiently.

Engage in Light Activity Post-Meal

Take a short walk after eating to help your body use up the glucose in your bloodstream more effectively.

Mindful Eating Practices

Eat slowly and pay attention to your hunger and fullness cues, which can prevent overeating and help your body better regulate blood sugar levels.
