Pair with Protein

Add a source of lean protein to your snack, such as a boiled egg or a small portion of grilled chicken, to help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Pair your snack with raw vegetables such as cucumber, bell pepper, or cherry tomatoes to increase the fiber content and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of almonds and mixed seeds to minimize the glucose spike.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're having a meal, include whole grains like quinoa or brown rice in moderation to provide a steady release of energy.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and metabolism, which can help manage glucose spikes.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your almonds and seeds; it may help regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after consuming your snack to help your body utilize glucose more efficiently.
