How to consume apple, pineapple without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein like Greek yogurt or a handful of almonds when consuming apples or pineapples. Protein helps slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado or a small portion of walnuts. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Consume with Fiber

Pair your fruit with high-fiber foods such as chia seeds or flaxseeds. This can help slow down digestion and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the apples and pineapples. Smaller quantities will result in a smaller increase in blood glucose levels.

Eat Whole Fruits

Opt for whole apples or pineapples instead of juices or dried versions to retain their natural fiber, which helps in moderating blood sugar spikes.

Choose a Balanced Meal

Incorporate fruits into a balanced meal that includes vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains like quinoa or barley, ensuring a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Have with Vegetables

Enjoy apples and pineapples alongside non-starchy vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to provide a variety of nutrients and a better balance for your blood sugar.

Drink Water

Drink a glass of water before or along with eating fruits to help with digestion and slow the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Spices

Add cinnamon to your fruit salad or baked apples. Cinnamon is known to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming fruits earlier in the day or before physical activity to give your body a chance to utilize the sugars more effectively.
