How to consume Falafel, Mixed Salad Greens without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of falafel to help manage the glucose spike while still enjoying your meal.

Choose Whole Grains

Replace any white bread or pita with whole-grain alternatives like whole-grain pita or wraps.

Add Protein

Incorporate a lean protein like grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu to slow down digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add sources of healthy fats, such as avocado slices, a sprinkle of nuts and seeds, or a drizzle of olive oil, to your salad for improved satiety and slower absorption.

Increase Fiber Intake

Enhance your mixed salad greens with fiber-rich vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before your meal to help with digestion and reduce the likelihood of overeating.

Incorporate Vinegar

Use a lemon or vinegar-based dressing on your salad to help slow down the rate at which your body absorbs sugar.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, which can help you better regulate your body’s response to the foods you consume.

Healthy Snacks

If you’re eating falafel and salad as part of a larger meal, choose snacks like hummus and raw veggies or a small handful of nuts to keep blood sugar levels stable between meals.

Regular Exercise

Engage in regular physical activity, such as a brisk walk after meals, to help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose spikes.
