How to consume Bhel without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of Bhel you consume, which can help manage the overall impact on your glucose levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein, such as chickpeas or boiled eggs, into your Bhel to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Use Whole Grains

Substitute puffed rice with a smaller portion of whole grains like quinoa or brown rice.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of nuts and seeds, such as almonds or chia seeds, to your Bhel.

Increase Fiber

Add more fiber-rich vegetables, like chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers, to increase the fiber content and reduce the glucose spike.

Avoid Sugary Additions

Skip or minimize the use of sweet chutneys or other sugary additions that can contribute to a spike.

Lemon Juice

Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over your Bhel to enhance flavor while helping to moderate glucose response.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal, as staying hydrated can help regulate your glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body time to process the food, which can help manage glucose levels.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after your meal to help your body utilize glucose efficiently.
