How to consume english vietnamese banh mi sandwich without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for a whole grain baguette instead of a white baguette. Whole grains have more fiber, which helps slow down glucose absorption.

Add Protein

Include a good source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or egg. Protein helps moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado or a drizzle of olive oil. Healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Pile on the Vegetables

Increase the amount of non-starchy vegetables like cucumber, carrots, and radishes in your banh mi. These are low in sugars and provide additional fiber.

Limit Sugary Sauces

Be mindful of sauces that might contain added sugars, such as hoisin or sweet chili sauce. Consider using light mayonnaise or a dash of soy sauce instead.

Eat Smaller Portions

Consider eating half a sandwich along with a side of non-starchy vegetables or a small salad to reduce the carbohydrate load in one sitting.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew thoroughly and eat slowly. This can help your body digest food more effectively and prevent a rapid glucose spike.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help your body manage glucose levels more efficiently.

Walk After Eating

Take a short walk after your meal. Light physical activity can help your muscles use up some of the glucose in your bloodstream.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to understand how different components of the banh mi affect you and adjust your ingredients accordingly.
