How to consume Chicken Avocado Salad without glucose spikes

Incorporate Leafy Greens

Add more leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or arugula to your salad for added fiber, which can help slow the absorption of glucose.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, and tomatoes to increase the volume and fiber content of your salad.

Control Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of higher-calorie ingredients like avocado and chicken to prevent excessive calorie intake, which can influence blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of nuts or seeds such as almonds or sunflower seeds. The healthy fats and protein found in these can help stabilize blood sugar.

Use Whole Grains

If adding any grains, choose whole grains like quinoa or brown rice in small quantities. They provide fiber and have a lower impact on blood sugar spikes.

Opt for a Light Dressing

Choose a vinaigrette made with olive oil and vinegar instead of creamy dressings. This can enhance flavor without adding unnecessary sugars.

Balance Protein

Ensure a balanced amount of chicken in your salad to maintain a steady source of protein, which can help control blood sugar levels.

Add Beans or Legumes

Consider adding small amounts of chickpeas or black beans for additional fiber and protein.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and maintain steady glucose levels.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor your meal to give your body time to signal fullness, which can help prevent overeating and sudden glucose spikes.
