How to consume cucumber, hummus without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of hummus you consume with cucumber to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake, which can help in minimizing the glucose spike.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to your meal. Including protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of healthy fats, such as a few slices of avocado or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts, to help slow down digestion and glucose absorption.

Choose Whole-Grain Crackers

If you want something to add to your cucumber and hummus, consider whole-grain crackers as they provide more fiber and can help balance blood sugar levels.

Vegetable Variety

Include a variety of non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or cherry tomatoes with your meal. The fiber content can aid in moderating blood sugar spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal. Proper hydration can aid in the metabolism of carbohydrates and help maintain stable glucose levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to aid digestion and give your body time to regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Include Herbs and Spices

Add herbs and spices like turmeric or cinnamon to your hummus for their potential blood sugar-lowering properties.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use up glucose more efficiently.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your glucose levels after meals and adjust your eating habits accordingly, as individual responses can vary.
