How to consume Date, Mixed Nuts without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Combine dates and mixed nuts with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a small piece of cheese or a boiled egg, to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Portion Control

Limit the number of dates you consume in one sitting. Consider having just one or two dates accompanied by a larger portion of mixed nuts to balance the sugar intake.

Include Fiber

Add a high-fiber food to your snack, like a small serving of oats or chia seeds, which can help slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before consuming your snack to potentially reduce the spike by aiding digestion.

Opt for Whole, Raw Nuts

Choose unsweetened, raw nuts over roasted or salted varieties to ensure there are no added sugars or salts.

Add Vegetables

Pair your snack with some non-starchy vegetables like cucumber slices or cherry tomatoes for additional fiber and nutrients.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite to help your body better manage the intake of sugars.

Time Your Snack Wisely

Have your snack after a meal when the body is already processing other foods, which can help moderate spikes.

Exercise

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

Monitor Quantity

Regularly measure your usual portions and gradually reduce the quantity of dates while increasing the proportion of nuts or other low-sugar foods in your snack.
