How to consume cucumber, basil, and peanut salad, 1 serving(s) without glucose spikes
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate a source of healthy fats such as avocado or a small drizzle of olive oil to slow down digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Include Protein
Add a protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a hard-boiled egg to your salad. Protein can help balance your meal and reduce glucose spikes.
Incorporate Fiber
Boost the fiber content by including leafy greens like spinach or kale, which can slow carbohydrate absorption and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Portion Control
Pay attention to the portion size of the peanuts, as they contain both carbohydrates and fats. Moderating the portion can help in managing glucose levels.
Vinegar Dressing
Use a vinegar-based dressing such as balsamic or apple cider vinegar, which may help in reducing post-meal glucose levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat and chew your food well. Eating slowly can aid digestion and reduce the likelihood of a glucose spike.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and during your meal to help regulate digestion and absorption of nutrients, which can assist in managing blood sugar levels.
Pre-meal Exercise
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before your meal to enhance insulin sensitivity and lower the risk of a spike.
Mix with Low-Carb Veggies
Add other low-carb vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini to increase volume and nutrients without significantly increasing carbs.
Mindful Eating
Practice mindful eating by focusing on your meal without distractions. This can lead to better portion control and digestion, thus helping manage glucose spikes.
