How to consume Baby Carrots, Hummus without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as grilled chicken, turkey, or a handful of nuts alongside your baby carrots and hummus to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices or a small amount of olive oil to your meal to further stabilize blood sugar levels.

Mind Portion Sizes

Limit the portion size of baby carrots and hummus to prevent overconsumption of carbohydrates in one sitting.

Add Leafy Greens

Include leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or lettuce in your meal. They are low in carbohydrates and can help balance the overall carbohydrate intake.

Choose Whole Grain Alternatives

If you're having hummus as a dip, consider whole grain crackers or whole wheat pita as they tend to have a lower potential for causing spikes.

Opt for Non-starchy Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or celery sticks for extra fiber and volume without contributing to glucose spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal, as staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar.

Add a Fiber Supplement

Consider adding a fiber supplement like psyllium husk to your diet to help with blood sugar maintenance.

Exercise After Eating

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your muscles use up glucose and reduce spikes.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of your blood sugar response to these meals to better understand your personal triggers and adjust your diet accordingly.
