How to consume Burrito Bowl without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of your burrito bowl to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Include more fiber-rich ingredients like black beans or lentils. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugars.

Whole Grains

Use brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice. These alternatives digest more slowly, helping to maintain steadier blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats such as avocado or a sprinkle of nuts or seeds. Fats can slow digestion and help moderate spikes.

Protein Addition

Incorporate lean protein sources like grilled chicken, tofu, or fish. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Vegetable Increase

Load your bowl with non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini. They add bulk and nutrients while helping to lower the overall carb content.

Vinegar Dressing

Consider adding a vinaigrette dressing, as vinegar has been shown to help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Meal Timing

Avoid eating a burrito bowl on an empty stomach. Consuming it alongside a meal with protein or fat, or as part of a balanced meal, can help prevent a spike.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to process the carbohydrates effectively.

Hydration

Stay hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal to help with digestion and blood sugar regulation.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your muscles use up glucose and reduce post-meal spikes.
