How to consume braai + ice cream without glucose spikes

Include Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add a side of fiber-rich vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers, to your meal. These can slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you're serving bread or any grain-based sides with your braai, choose whole grain options like whole wheat bread or quinoa to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Legumes

Incorporate legumes like lentils or chickpeas into your meal. They are excellent for moderating post-meal glucose spikes.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocados or a handful of nuts. These can help slow down digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Choose Lean Proteins

Lean cuts of meat or plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh can help maintain stable glucose levels.

Hydrate with Water

Drink water throughout the meal instead of sugary drinks to help manage blood sugar levels.

Practice Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes, especially with high-carb foods, to prevent excessive glucose spikes.

Add Vinegar or Lemon

Consider adding a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your meal, as the acidity can help with blood sugar management.

Slow Down Your Eating

Eat slowly and savor your food. This can help with digestion and give your body time to regulate insulin response effectively.

Select Low-Sugar Desserts

After your braai, choose desserts made with ingredients like fresh berries or Greek yogurt to accompany or replace ice cream.
