How to consume burrito with beans and chili peppers without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Tortillas

Opt for whole grain or whole wheat tortillas instead of white flour tortillas, as they have a slower digestion rate.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado slices or a small amount of olive oil to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein-Rich Fillings

Add lean proteins like grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu to your burrito to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Increase Vegetable Content

Load up on non-starchy vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, and tomatoes in your burrito to add fiber and nutrients.

Serve with a Side Salad

Have a side salad with leafy greens, cucumbers, and a light vinaigrette to further slow carbohydrate absorption.

Drink Water or Unsweetened Tea

Pair your meal with water or unsweetened tea to avoid additional sugar intake from beverages.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew and enjoy your food, which can help with better digestion and slower glucose absorption.

Practice Portion Control

Consider consuming a smaller portion of the burrito to manage the total carbohydrate intake.

Incorporate Beans Wisely

While beans are nutritious, consider using them in moderation and mix them with other low-carb vegetables.

Monitor Chili Pepper Intake

Observe how your body reacts to chili peppers, as they can sometimes affect insulin sensitivity, and adjust accordingly.

Consider a Post-Meal Walk

Engage in a light walk after your meal to help with glucose regulation through physical activity.
