How to consume Apple, Peanut Butter (Reduced Sodium) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the portion size of apples and peanut butter you consume. Smaller portions can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Pair with Protein
Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or turkey slices to your snack. Protein can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include foods like avocado or a handful of almonds to your meal. Healthy fats can help in moderating blood sugar spikes by slowing down digestion.
Choose Whole Apples
Opt for whole apples with the skin rather than apple juice or applesauce. The fiber in whole apples can help slow down the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream.
Opt for Low-Sugar Peanut Butter
Ensure that the peanut butter you choose is low in added sugars. Check labels to find varieties with minimal ingredients and no added sugars.
Add Fiber-Rich Foods
Combine your snack with fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds. Fiber helps in slowing digestion and the rate at which sugars enter the bloodstream.
Hydrate with Water
Drink a glass of water before or during your meal. Staying hydrated can help your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.
Include Non-Starchy Vegetables
Add a side of non-starchy vegetables like cucumber slices or celery sticks. These have minimal impact on blood sugar and can add volume and nutrients to your snack.
Mind the Timing
Try consuming your apple and peanut butter snack after a balanced meal or as part of a larger meal to help buffer the impact on your blood sugar.
Stay Active
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.
