How to consume Baked Beans without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Incorporate a source of protein such as grilled chicken breast, tofu, or a handful of nuts to help slow the absorption of carbohydrates from the baked beans.
Add Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado slices, a drizzle of olive oil, or a small serving of cheese to your meal. Fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Include Fiber-Rich Foods
Add fiber-rich vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or a mixed green salad to your meal. These can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.
Portion Control
Be mindful of the serving size of baked beans you consume - smaller portions can reduce the likelihood of a significant glucose spike.
Choose Whole Grains
If you're having baked beans with bread or grains, opt for whole grain or whole wheat options, such as whole grain bread or brown rice, which are digested more slowly.
Hydrate Well
Drink water before and during your meal. Staying hydrated helps your body process carbohydrates more efficiently.
Time Your Meals
Try eating baked beans as part of a balanced meal earlier in the day when your body is typically more efficient at processing glucose.
Add Vinegar
Consider adding a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, to your baked beans or salad. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity.
Monitor and Adjust
Keep track of your glucose levels after eating baked beans and adjust the portions or combinations of foods accordingly in future meals.
Incorporate Physical Activity
Engage in a short walk or light exercise after eating to help your muscles use up some of the glucose from your meal.
