How to consume Falafel, Hummus without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start with smaller portions of falafel and hummus to minimize the glucose spike.

Combine with Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Include a variety of fiber-rich vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and leafy greens. The fiber can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil to your meal. These fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're having bread with your meal, opt for whole-grain pita or flatbread, which is absorbed more slowly.

Include a Protein Source

Pair your meal with a lean protein like grilled chicken or fish. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar.

Eat Slowly and Mindfully

Take your time to chew and savor your food, which can help in better digestion and glucose regulation.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water during your meal to aid in digestion and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Try Lemon Juice

Adding a squeeze of lemon juice to your hummus or salad can lower the meal’s impact on your blood sugar.

Incorporate Vinegar

Use a vinegar-based dressing for your salad, which can help in managing blood sugar spikes.

Monitor Timing of Meals

Try eating smaller, more frequent meals instead of larger meals to help maintain steady glucose levels throughout the day.
