How to consume bread with peanut butter without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of lean protein to your meal, such as a boiled egg or a small portion of grilled chicken. This can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate foods like avocado or a handful of nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts) to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Opt for Whole Grain Bread

Choose whole grain or sprouted bread, which is digested more slowly than white bread, mitigating the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Include a side of non-starchy vegetables, such as a salad with leafy greens, cucumber, and tomatoes, to add fiber and further slow carbohydrate absorption.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water, which can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Consider Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of bread and peanut butter, and balance it with other nutrient-dense foods.

Incorporate Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after your meal to help improve your body's insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Try eating your bread and peanut butter at a time when your body is better able to handle blood sugar spikes, such as earlier in the day rather than later at night.

Add Legumes

Include a small portion of lentils or chickpeas in your meal for additional fiber and protein.

Choose Natural Peanut Butter

Opt for natural peanut butter with no added sugars to minimize additional sugar intake that can contribute to spikes.
