How to consume chickpeas (garbanzo beans, bengal gram) (mature seeds, with salt, cooked, boiled) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of chickpeas to limit carbohydrate intake, which can help in managing blood sugar levels.

Combine with High-Fiber Foods

Pair chickpeas with foods like leafy greens, broccoli, or avocados to slow down digestion and reduce blood sugar spikes.

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats such as nuts, seeds, or olive oil in your meal. This can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Protein

Add protein-rich foods like grilled chicken, tofu, or fish to your meal to help stabilize blood glucose levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water, as dehydration can lead to higher blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a brisk walk, after eating to help lower blood glucose levels.

Monitor Timing

Consume chickpeas earlier in the day to allow more time for your body to process the carbohydrates throughout the day.

Whole Grains

If combining with grains, choose whole grains such as quinoa, barley, or brown rice, which have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Avoid Added Sugars

Ensure that any additional ingredients or seasonings do not contain added sugars, which can exacerbate blood sugar spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to signal when it's full, preventing overeating and potential glucose spikes.
