How to consume 3 Minute Breakfast Poha without glucose spikes
Incorporate Protein
Add a source of protein like Greek yogurt, paneer, or a boiled egg on the side of your breakfast. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, reducing the spike.
Fiber Boost
Include a small serving of chia seeds or flaxseeds in your poha. These seeds are high in fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Add Vegetables
Mix in non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes. These add fiber and nutrients, helping to balance the meal.
Include Healthy Fats
Top your poha with a small amount of nuts or seeds, like almonds or pumpkin seeds. Healthy fats can slow digestion and help prevent spikes.
Portion Control
Be mindful of your portion size. Consuming a smaller portion can significantly impact your blood sugar response.
Hydrate Properly
Drink water or unsweetened tea before and during your meal. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help maintain steady blood sugar levels.
Add a Squeeze of Lemon
The acidity in lemon juice can help slow the breakdown of carbohydrates, aiding in blood sugar control.
Eat Slowly
Take time to chew your food properly and enjoy your meal slowly. This can improve digestion and moderate blood sugar spikes.
Combine with a Low-Carb Snack
Consider having a small low-carb snack later on, like a handful of berries or a small serving of hummus with cucumber slices, to keep your blood sugar levels steady throughout the morning.
Monitor Your Blood Sugar
Keep track of your blood sugar levels after eating poha and note any changes with different modifications. This will help you identify which strategies work best for you.
