Fava Beans (In Pod) (1 Pod)

Reduce the serving of fava beans and add more non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, zucchini, or salad to keep the meal volume satisfying.

Eat fava beans with protein, such as eggs, fish, chicken, tofu, or plain Greek yogurt, rather than having them alone.

Include a modest amount of fat or fiber with the meal, such as olive oil, avocado, nuts, or seeds, to slow digestion.

Choose whole, minimally processed fava beans; avoid blending them into dips or pairing them with refined bread, crackers, rice, or sugary sauces.

Have the beans as part of a balanced meal rather than when very hungry or as a large standalone snack.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and use your glucose readings to identify the portion size that works best for you.
