How to consume garbanzo or chickpea soup without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of the chickpea soup. Smaller portions can help moderate the glucose response.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, into the meal to help slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado slices or a drizzle of olive oil, to the soup to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Mix in non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, kale, or broccoli to increase the fiber content and help minimize spikes.

Choose Whole Grains

If you are having bread with your soup, opt for whole grain or seed bread to further slow down the digestion process.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly to allow for better digestion and a more gradual rise in blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

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

Pair with a Salad

Start your meal with a salad containing leafy greens and a vinaigrette dressing to provide fiber and help control glucose levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Consume your meal at regular intervals and avoid having soup as a late or isolated meal, which might lead to sharper glucose spikes.

Regular Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help lower blood sugar levels naturally.
