How to consume Fruit Croissant without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Add a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts, Greek yogurt, or a slice of cheese, to help slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you enjoy croissants, consider switching to a whole grain version or enjoy whole grain toast. These options typically cause a slower rise in blood sugar.

Limit Portion Size

Reduce the portion size of the fruit croissant. Even a small reduction can help in minimizing the glucose spike.

Include Fiber-rich Foods

Incorporate fiber-rich foods like vegetables or a small salad alongside your croissant to help moderate your blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before eating to aid digestion and potentially reduce the rate of carbohydrate absorption.

Choose Low-sugar Fruits

If the croissant contains fruit, choose options like berries which have less impact on blood sugar compared to tropical fruits.

Monitor Timing

Try to consume the croissant as part of a meal rather than on an empty stomach, as this can help buffer the impact on your blood sugar.

Incorporate Physical Activity

A short walk or light exercise after eating can help lower blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity.
