How to consume chicken quesadilla without glucose spikes

Incorporate Whole Grains

Opt for whole grain or whole wheat tortillas instead of refined flour tortillas to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Sides

Pair your quesadilla with a side of beans or lentils. Both are rich in fiber and can help slow down the absorption of glucose.

Include Healthy Fats

Add slices of avocado or a dollop of guacamole. The healthy fats can help moderate your blood sugar response.

Balance with Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini to your quesadilla to increase fiber content and reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water instead of sugary drinks or sodas during your meal to avoid additional sugar spikes.

Opt for Leaner Proteins

Ensure the chicken used is grilled or baked rather than fried to minimize added fats that can affect glucose levels.

Practice Portion Control

Eating smaller portions can reduce the likelihood of a significant glucose spike.

Include a Light Salad

Start your meal with a salad containing leafy greens and a vinegar-based dressing. This can help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Chew Slowly

Eating slowly can help your body process the food more gradually, leading to a more controlled blood sugar response.

Monitor Meal Timing

Try to eat at regular intervals throughout the day to prevent large fluctuations in blood sugar levels.
