How to consume english vietnamese banh mi sandwich without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain or Multigrain Bread

Opt for a version of the banh mi made with whole grain or multigrain bread to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Increase Protein Intake

Add lean protein sources like grilled chicken, tofu, or turkey to your sandwich to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado or a small amount of olive oil-based dressing to your sandwich, which can help slow digestion and prevent spikes.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Load your sandwich with extra fiber-rich vegetables like lettuce, cucumber, and bell peppers to aid in controlling glucose levels.

Limit Sugary Sauces

Reduce or eliminate high-sugar sauces and opt for alternatives like a light vinaigrette or low-sugar asian dressing.

Portion Control

Consider eating half of the sandwich and pairing it with a side of a green salad or legumes to balance your meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and after your meal to support digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Eat your meal slowly and mindfully to allow your body to properly process the food and regulate glucose levels.

Engage in Light Physical Activity
