How to consume Cucumber (With Peel), Hummus without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of hummus you consume at one time. Smaller portions can help mitigate any spike in glucose levels.

Combine with Protein

Pair cucumber and hummus with foods high in protein such as grilled chicken, turkey slices, or cottage cheese, which can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats, such as a few almonds or walnuts, to your meal. Healthy fats can help lower the rate at which sugar enters the bloodstream.

Increase Fiber Intake

Incorporate more fiber-rich foods like leafy greens or a small serving of quinoa. Fiber can slow digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help maintain optimal blood sugar levels.

Regular Exercise

Engage in a short walk or light exercise after meals to help improve blood sugar regulation.

Monitor Timing

Pay attention to when you consume carbohydrate-rich meals. Eating them earlier in the day can sometimes help with better glucose control.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully to help regulate how much you consume and to aid digestion.

Add Vinegar

Incorporate a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar, into your meal or drink; it may help in moderating blood sugar levels.

Experiment with Ratios

Adjust the ratio of hummus to cucumber, using more cucumber and less hummus, to find a balance that works for you.
