How to consume Gnocchi without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the serving size of gnocchi. Smaller portions will have a lesser impact on your blood glucose levels.

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein like grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu to your meal. Proteins can help moderate the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, or nuts into your dish. These can slow down the digestion process and decrease glucose spikes.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Include vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. High-fiber foods help to slow carbohydrate absorption.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew and enjoy your meal. Eating slowly can help to reduce the rate at which glucose enters your bloodstream.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, as proper hydration can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grain or Chickpea Gnocchi

If available, choose whole grain or chickpea versions of gnocchi, as these options often have more fiber and protein.

Exercise After Eating

A short walk or light exercise after your meal can help lower the glucose spike by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Your Meal Timing

Consider eating gnocchi earlier in the day when your metabolism is more active, rather than in the evening.

Use Vinegar-Based Dressings

If adding a salad, use a vinegar-based dressing. Acetic acid in vinegar can help reduce blood sugar spikes after meals.
