How to consume 1 apple without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume your apple with a small serving of protein, such as a handful of almonds or a slice of cheese, to help slow the digestion and absorption of sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fats, like a tablespoon of peanut butter or a few slices of avocado, to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine your apple with fiber-rich foods such as a small bowl of oatmeal or a serving of lentils to help slow down the sugar absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

Eat your apple alongside a small serving of whole grain crackers or a slice of whole grain bread to provide additional fiber and nutrients.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your apple slices. This spice may help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating your apple to aid digestion and help mitigate blood sugar spikes.

Exercise Regularly

Incorporate moderate physical activity, like a short walk, after eating your apple to help your muscles utilize the glucose effectively.

Mind Portion Size

Consider eating only half an apple if you're concerned about spikes, and save the other half for later.

Monitor Timing

Eat your apple as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own to avoid rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Include Vinegar

Consider a small amount of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before your meal, as it may help improve blood sugar control.
