How to consume 1 apple without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume the apple with a source of protein such as a handful of almonds, a small piece of cheese, or Greek yogurt to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small portion of healthy fats like a spoonful of peanut butter or a few slices of avocado alongside your apple to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber

Eat a high-fiber food such as a few carrot sticks or a small serving of chia seed pudding with your apple to aid in moderating glucose spikes.

Choose Smaller Apples

Opt for a smaller apple to naturally reduce the amount of sugar consumed.

Drink Water

Have a glass of water with your apple to support digestion and prevent rapid absorption of sugars.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat the apple, chewing thoroughly to ensure better digestion and slower glucose release.

Combine with a Meal

Include the apple as part of a balanced meal that includes protein, fat, and fiber, rather than eating it alone as a snack.

Opt for Variety

Mix the apple with lower-sugar fruits like berries to distribute the sugar content over a larger volume of food.

Limit Liquid Intake

Avoid drinking sugary beverages or fruit juices with your apple to prevent compounding sugar intake.

Monitor Timing

Consider eating the apple earlier in the day when your body’s insulin sensitivity might be higher, promoting better glucose management.
