How to consume Almonds, Medjool Dates without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the quantity of almonds and Medjool dates you consume in one sitting to minimize the glucose spike.
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, to your snack. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a small portion of cheese to your meal or snack to further slow glucose absorption.
Add Non-Starchy Vegetables
Include vegetables like cucumber or celery sticks to your snack to increase fiber intake, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Choose Whole Grains
If you're having a meal with these snacks, include whole grains like quinoa or barley as a part of your meal to provide a balanced nutrient profile.
Stay Hydrated
Drinking water before consuming almonds and dates can help slow down digestion and absorption of sugars.
Opt for Physical Activity
Consider a short walk or light exercise after consuming these foods to aid in managing blood sugar levels.
Monitor Timing
Consume these foods as a part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.
Chew Thoroughly
Take the time to chew your food well, which can aid in digestion and slow the release of sugars into the bloodstream.
Consider Alternative Sweeteners
If you're using dates for sweetening, consider using a small amount of a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit, and reduce the number of dates.
