How to consume Almonds, Apples, Walnuts without glucose spikes

Combine with Protein or Healthy Fats

Pair your almonds, apples, and walnuts with a source of protein or healthy fats. For example, add a small serving of cheese or Greek yogurt, or have them with avocado slices to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Portion Control

Limit the portions of almonds, apples, and walnuts to avoid consuming too many carbohydrates at once. Try having a small handful of almonds or walnuts and half of an apple at a time.

Eat with Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or cucumber alongside your snack. The fiber in these vegetables can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after consuming these foods to help your body process them more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food, which can help prevent spikes in glucose.

Regular Exercise

Engage in light physical activity like walking after consuming almonds, apples, or walnuts to help your body use the sugars more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming these foods earlier in the day when your body might be more efficient at managing sugar levels, rather than close to bedtime.

Balanced Meals

Incorporate these foods into meals that have a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fats to provide a more gradual release of energy.

Incorporate Whole Grains

If you're having these foods as part of a meal, pair them with whole grains like quinoa or barley, which can help regulate your blood sugar levels.

Avoid Processed Additions

Ensure that the nuts and apples are not coated with sugar or other high-sugar ingredients that could contribute to a spike.
