How to consume beet soup (borscht) without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, fish, or tofu to your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts into your meal. These fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.
Add Vinegar
Consider adding a splash of vinegar or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to your salad or soup. Vinegar has been shown to help with blood sugar control.
Pre-Meal Snack
Consume a small, low-carb snack such as a handful of almonds or a piece of cheese before eating beet soup to help moderate blood sugar levels.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add fiber-rich vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or kale to your meal. Fiber can slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Stay Active
Engage in light physical activity, such as a 10-15 minute walk, after eating to help your body process glucose more effectively.
Monitor Portion Size
Be mindful of the portion size of the beet soup you consume. Eating smaller portions can help reduce spikes in blood sugar.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat and thoroughly chew your food, which can help with digestion and may prevent rapid glucose spikes.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water throughout the day to maintain hydration, which can support overall metabolic processes and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Replace High-Carb Sides
Instead of bread or potatoes, choose sides like a mixed green salad or steamed non-starchy vegetables to accompany your beet soup.
