How to consume bread with peanut butter without glucose spikes

Opt for Whole Grain Bread

Choose whole grain or multi-grain bread instead of white bread. They have more fiber and nutrients, which help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Pair your bread with a protein source like a small portion of cheese, a hard-boiled egg, or Greek yogurt. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of avocado or a few nuts to your bread with peanut butter. Healthy fats can help reduce the glucose spike by slowing gastric emptying.

Eat Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables like spinach, cucumber, or bell peppers alongside your meal. They add fiber and nutrients, which can help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal. Proper hydration can aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of the bread and peanut butter. Consuming smaller amounts can lead to a more manageable increase in blood sugar.

Slow Down

Eat your meal slowly and chew thoroughly. Eating at a slower pace can help regulate blood sugar spikes by giving your body more time to process the carbohydrates.

Physical Activity

Engage in a light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Choose Natural Peanut Butter

Use natural peanut butter with no added sugars or oils. Added sugars can contribute to higher blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Timing

If possible, try to eat your bread with peanut butter in the morning or around times of increased activity when your body can better handle the carbohydrate load.
