How to consume Fruits and nuts without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a boiled egg. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or a small portion of cheese. Fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Sugar Fruits

Opt for fruits like berries, cherries, or apples which tend to have a more moderate impact on blood sugar.

Portion Control

Keep an eye on the portion sizes of both fruits and nuts to avoid overconsumption, which can lead to higher glucose spikes.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine your snack with a serving of fiber-rich foods such as oats or quinoa to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea with your snack, as hydration can help moderate blood sugar responses.

Eat with a Meal

Have fruits and nuts as part of a balanced meal rather than a standalone snack to mitigate spikes.

Opt for Whole Nuts

Choose whole, unsalted nuts rather than those that are roasted or coated in sugar, as they have a more gradual impact on blood sugar.

Monitor Timing

Try eating fruits and nuts earlier in the day when your body might be more efficient at processing sugar, rather than closer to bedtime.

Chew Thoroughly

Take your time to chew each bite thoroughly, which aids in digestion and can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
