How to consume dragonfruit (pitaya) without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein, such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts, to slow down digestion and reduce the glucose spike.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, chia seeds, or a small serving of almond butter. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat with Fiber-Rich Foods

Consume dragonfruit alongside high-fiber foods such as oatmeal, quinoa, or lentils to help moderate the absorption of sugars.

Limit Portion Size

Reduce your portion size of dragonfruit to manage the amount of sugar consumed in one sitting.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support optimal metabolic functions, which can help in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after consuming dragonfruit to help your body use the sugar more effectively.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat dragonfruit slowly, allowing your body to process and manage the sugar more efficiently.

Consume with Vinegar

Consider adding a small amount of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water before your meal, as this may help in reducing the spike.

Space Out Carbohydrates

Avoid consuming other high-sugar fruits or high-carbohydrate foods at the same meal with dragonfruit.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body reacts to dragonfruit and adjust your strategies as needed, possibly reducing intake or combining with different foods.
