How to consume Arabic Sweets - Kanafeh, Knefeh, Knefe, 86 g without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the sweet treat. Instead of consuming 86 grams, try limiting your portion to a smaller amount to reduce the carbohydrate intake.

Pair with Protein

Consume a source of protein, such as a handful of almonds or a piece of grilled chicken, alongside your sweet. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods in your meal to help slow glucose absorption. Consider a small salad with leafy greens or a slice of whole-grain bread.

Drink Water

Have a glass of water before eating the sweet. This can help with satiety and ensure you’re less inclined to consume larger portions.

Timing

Avoid consuming sweets on an empty stomach. Instead, have them after a balanced meal that includes protein and fiber to moderate the glucose response.

Physical Activity

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating the sweet. Physical activity can help lower blood glucose levels.

Alternative Sweeteners

Consider making or choosing versions of Kanafeh that use natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit instead of traditional sugars.

Healthy Fats

Pair your sweet with a small serving of healthy fats, such as a few slices of avocado, nuts, or seeds. This can help moderate the glucose spike.
