How to consume chicken breast, english quinoa salad without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Add a variety of fiber-rich, non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and bell peppers to your meal to slow down glucose absorption.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds to your salad. These fats can help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Protein Diversification

While chicken breast is a good source of protein, consider mixing it with other protein sources like legumes (e.g., lentils or chickpeas) that are lower in impact on blood sugar.

Small Portion of Fruits

Add a small portion of low-sugar fruits such as berries to your salad. They provide antioxidants and fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Drink Water or Herbal Tea

Instead of sugary drinks, opt for water, sparkling water, or herbal tea to accompany your meal. Proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a vinegar-based dressing for your salad. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the blood sugar response after meals.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully. Chewing your food thoroughly can aid in the better absorption of nutrients and a more gradual increase in blood sugar.

Add Nuts

Sprinkle a handful of almonds, walnuts, or pecans into your salad. They provide healthy fats and proteins that help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Limit Quinoa Portion

While quinoa is a healthy choice, be mindful of the portion size. A smaller portion of quinoa combined with more vegetables and protein can help reduce the blood sugar impact.

Post-Meal Activity

Engage in a light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help your body use up the glucose from your meal more efficiently.
