How to consume Rich Ice Cream without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of rich ice cream you consume to a small serving to minimize glucose spikes.

Add Fiber

Pair your ice cream with a fiber-rich food, like a small serving of berries or a tablespoon of chia seeds, to help slow the absorption of sugar.

Include Protein

Before eating ice cream, consume a protein-rich snack, such as a handful of nuts or a hard-boiled egg, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Lower Sugar Options

Choose ice creams that are lower in sugar content, such as those sweetened with natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.

Stay Active

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating ice cream to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after consuming ice cream to assist in digestion and moderate blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat ice cream slowly and savor each bite to promote satisfaction and reduce the likelihood of overconsumption.

Balanced Meal

If you plan to have ice cream, incorporate it as part of a meal that includes vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats to balance carbohydrate intake.

Choose Alternatives

Consider trying frozen yogurt or sorbet that has lower sugar content and fats compared to rich ice cream.

Monitor Timing

Avoid eating ice cream on an empty stomach; consume it as part of a meal or snack to lessen its impact on blood sugar levels.
