How to consume apple dessert crisp without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit your portion size. Smaller servings typically lead to smaller glucose responses.
Add Protein
Pair the dessert with a protein source, such as a small serving of Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts. This can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fat to your meal, like a few slices of avocado or a sprinkle of chia seeds, to help moderate glucose absorption.
Fiber Boost
Include high-fiber foods alongside your dessert, such as a small serving of berries or a salad, to help reduce the glucose spike.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after your dessert to help manage blood sugar levels.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, like a walk, after eating to help your muscles use glucose more effectively.
Consider Cinnamon
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your apple crisp. Some studies suggest it may help with blood sugar control.
Reduce Added Sugar
When making the dessert, try reducing the amount of added sugar or using a sugar substitute with minimal impact on blood sugar.
Monitor Timing
Consume the dessert as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own to avoid a rapid spike.
Try Vinegar
Some people find that consuming a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed with water before a meal can help lower glucose spikes.
