How to consume english quinoa salad, salmon without glucose spikes

Incorporate More Vegetables

Add more non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, bell peppers, and broccoli to your salad. These are low-impact on blood sugar levels and add fiber.

Choose Complex Carbohydrates

If you're adding more grains to your salad, consider options like barley or buckwheat, which have a slower effect on blood sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds in your salad. These fats can help slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Use Vinegar-based Dressings

Opt for dressings made with vinegar, such as balsamic vinaigrette. Vinegar can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Protein

Besides salmon, consider adding other sources of lean protein like chicken breast or tofu. Proteins help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Watch the portion sizes of foods that can spike blood sugar. Smaller portions of quinoa can help manage the overall impact.

Mix in Legumes

Add beans or lentils to your salad. These are rich in fiber and protein, which can help mitigate blood sugar spikes.

Snack Wisely Before Meals

Have a small, balanced snack, such as a handful of almonds or a piece of cheese, before your meal. This can help control blood sugar responses.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help your body manage blood sugar more efficiently.

Slow Down Your Eating

Eat your meal more slowly and chew thoroughly to aid in better digestion and more gradual sugar absorption.
