How to consume Ceaser salad without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds. These fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Use Whole Grains

If your salad includes croutons, consider replacing them with whole-grain options or omit them entirely to avoid unnecessary spikes.

Opt for Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Enhance your salad with non-starchy, fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, kale, cucumbers, and bell peppers to slow digestion.

Reduce Dressing

Use a smaller amount of dressing or opt for a vinaigrette made with olive oil and vinegar, which can help control blood sugar levels better than creamy dressings.

Increase Portion of Leafy Greens

Load up on leafy greens like romaine lettuce or arugula, which have minimal impact on glucose levels.

Hydrate Before Meals

Drink a glass of water before eating to help you feel fuller and potentially reduce the amount you eat.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat, giving your body a chance to recognize fullness cues and potentially reduce the overall intake of high-sugar or high-carb components.

Exercise Regularly

Engage in regular physical activity, such as a brisk walk after meals, to help manage blood sugar levels.

Monitor Portions

Be mindful of portion sizes, particularly for ingredients like cheese and croutons, which can contribute to glucose spikes if consumed in excess.
