How to consume Fig Bars without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume a source of protein, such as a handful of almonds, a serving of Greek yogurt, or a boiled egg, alongside the fig bars to slow sugar absorption.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods like chia seeds, a small apple, or carrot sticks with your fig bars to aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Hydrate Adequately

Drink a glass of water or herbal tea before eating the fig bars to help with digestion and mitigate spikes.

Portion Control

Limit the quantity of fig bars consumed in a single sitting to manage the total sugar intake.

Time Your Intake

Eat fig bars as part of a larger balanced meal rather than on their own, ideally during breakfast or lunch when you're more active.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after consuming fig bars to help your muscles use up some of the excess sugar.

Select Whole Grains

If available, choose fig bars made with whole grains as they digest more slowly compared to those made with refined grains.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of your body’s response to fig bars and adjust your strategies accordingly to minimize spikes.

Mindful Eating

Eat the fig bars slowly and savor each bite to give your body more time to process the sugars.

Explore Alternatives

Consider replacing fig bars with snacks that have lower sugar content and provide similar satisfaction, such as a small serving of nuts with a few dark chocolate chips.
