How to consume Burrito With Chicken, Beans And Cheese without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of the burrito to help manage the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Add Vegetables

Increase the fiber content by adding non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or avocado to the burrito. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for a whole wheat or multi-grain tortilla instead of a regular flour tortilla for added fiber content.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, which can slow digestion and reduce spikes.

Select Low-Sugar Beans

Use black beans or pinto beans, which have a moderate impact on blood sugar levels, instead of refried beans.

Balance with a Protein

Ensure there is a sufficient amount of chicken or add another source of lean protein to balance the meal and help with glucose control.

Include a Salad

Serve the burrito with a side salad made of leafy greens, cucumbers, and tomatoes to add bulk and fiber to the meal without increasing blood sugar levels significantly.

Hydrate with Water

Drink water or unsweetened beverages with your meal to avoid additional sugar intake from drinks.

Eat Slowly

Take your time when eating to give your body a chance to process the food more effectively, potentially reducing spikes.

Monitor Timing

Consume your burrito at a time when you are more active, as physical activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and manage blood sugar levels.
