How to consume chickpeas (garbanzo beans, bengal gram) (mature seeds, canned) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce your serving size of canned chickpeas to manage the glucose load. Start with a smaller portion and see how your body responds.

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or fish to your meal with chickpeas. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or nuts into your dish. These can help moderate the rate at which glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Include plenty of non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli alongside chickpeas to increase fiber intake and reduce the impact on blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Carb Alternatives

Mix chickpeas with other low-carb beans or legumes, such as black beans or lentils, to create a more balanced meal.

Cook with Vinegar or Lemon

Use vinegar or lemon juice in your chickpea dishes. The acidity can help slow gastric emptying and reduce glucose spikes.

Eat with a Balanced Meal

Incorporate chickpeas into a balanced meal that includes a variety of nutrients, ensuring that you're not consuming them in isolation.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking water throughout your meal can help the body process carbohydrates more effectively.

Monitor Your Meal Timing

Try consuming chickpeas earlier in the day when your body might be more efficient at managing blood sugar levels.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk after eating, to help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.
