How to consume Beans on toast without glucose spikes

Choose Whole-Grain Bread

Opt for whole-grain or multigrain bread as it is digested more slowly, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Include a source of protein like a poached egg or a sprinkle of cheese. Protein helps slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil to your beans on toast. Healthy fats can slow the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Portion Control

Be mindful of the portion size of both the beans and the bread to help control the amount of carbohydrates you are consuming at one time.

Include Vegetables

Add vegetables such as spinach or tomatoes. These are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your meal. Staying hydrated can help regulate your blood sugar levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat. Eating slowly gives your body more time to process the carbohydrates and can help prevent a large spike in glucose.

Consider Vinegar

Add a splash of vinegar to your meal or have a small salad with a vinegar-based dressing. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Timing

Consider eating beans on toast as part of a balanced meal earlier in the day when your body might process carbohydrates more efficiently.

Consistent Meal Timing

Try to eat meals at consistent times each day to help your body better manage blood sugar levels.
