How to consume beets, mixed salad greens without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas in your meal to slow down the absorption of sugars and reduce spikes.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or olive oil in your salad to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of beets in your salad and ensure that mixed greens and other low-sugar ingredients make up the majority of the dish.

Choose Whole Grains

If adding grains to your salad, opt for quinoa or barley, which have a more moderate impact on blood sugar.

Incorporate Fiber

Add high-fiber vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, or carrots to your salad to help slow down digestion.

Utilize Vinegar-Based Dressings

Use a dressing that contains vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider, which can help moderate blood sugar responses.

Hydration

Drink water before your meal, as staying hydrated can aid in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Eat your salad as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to prevent rapid glucose absorption.

Chew Thoroughly

Take time to chew your food well, which aids digestion and can help with blood sugar control.

Active Post-Meal

Engage in light physical activity such as a walk after eating, which can help reduce glucose spikes.
