How to consume Burrito Bowl without glucose spikes

Balance Your Bowl

Add more non-starchy vegetables like lettuce, spinach, or bell peppers to your burrito bowl to increase fiber content and slow down glucose absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for brown rice or quinoa instead of white rice as the base of your bowl. These options provide more fiber and nutrients, helping to moderate blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado or a drizzle of olive oil. These fats can help slow digestion and reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Incorporate Beans

Include beans like black beans or kidney beans, which are high in fiber and protein, to help stabilize glucose levels.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes for high-carbohydrate ingredients like rice or beans to avoid consuming excessive amounts of carbohydrates at once.

Add Protein

Include a lean protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish. Protein can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates and prevent spikes in blood sugar.

Mind the Toppings

Avoid sugary sauces and opt for salsa or a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor without added sugar.

Hydrate Sufficiently

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help maintain stable blood glucose levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew thoroughly and enjoy your meal, as eating slowly can help prevent overeating and allow your body to better manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how different ingredients affect your blood sugar and adjust your bowl components accordingly to find the best balance for you.
