How to consume cucumber, basil, and peanut salad, 1 serving(s) without glucose spikes

Increase Fiber Intake

Add a serving of chia seeds or flaxseeds to the salad. These seeds are high in fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas. Protein can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more stable glucose response.

Include Healthy Fats

Add avocado slices or a handful of walnuts. Healthy fats can help slow the digestion process and prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Smaller Portions

Consider reducing the portion size of the salad to limit the carbohydrate intake from the cucumber and peanuts.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a dressing made with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. These acidic components can help in reducing the rate at which carbohydrates are absorbed into the bloodstream.

Add Leafy Greens

Increase the volume of basil and add other leafy greens like spinach or arugula. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, which can help manage blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water with your meal. Staying hydrated can help maintain proper glucose levels.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat the salad. Eating slowly can help your body better regulate blood sugar levels and improve digestion.

Physical Activity

Go for a short walk after eating. Physical activity can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Mixed Nuts

Substitute some of the peanuts with mixed nuts like almonds or cashews, which have a lower impact on blood sugar levels.
