How to consume chicken fajita bowl without glucose spikes

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Incorporate vegetables like bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach, and broccoli into your chicken fajita bowl. These vegetables not only add volume and nutrients but also help slow down glucose absorption.

Choose Whole Grains

Replace white rice or white tortillas with alternatives like brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain tortillas. These options have a slower impact on your blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado slices, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a small amount of olive oil. These fats can help slow down the digestion process and prevent rapid glucose spikes.

Opt for Lean Protein

Ensure you're using skinless chicken breast for your fajita bowl. Lean protein helps to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Beans or Legumes

Incorporate black beans, kidney beans, or lentils into your fajita bowl. These foods are rich in fiber and protein, which helps manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Use Smaller Portions of High-Carb Ingredients

If using ingredients like corn or a small amount of cheese, keep the portions small to minimize their impact on blood sugar.

Incorporate Nuts and Seeds

Sprinkle a handful of nuts such as almonds or seeds like pumpkin seeds into your bowl for added protein, fiber, and healthy fats.

Hydrate Properly

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Mind the Sauces

Choose sauces that are low in sugar and carbohydrates. Opt for salsa, guacamole, or a small amount of plain Greek yogurt instead of sugary or high-carb dressings.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly. Eating slowly can help your body better manage blood sugar levels.
