How to consume Gnocchi without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the serving size of gnocchi. Smaller portions can lead to a more gradual blood sugar response.

Add Fibrous Vegetables

Incorporate non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, or bell peppers into your meal. The fiber content can help moderate glucose spikes.

Include Lean Protein

Pair gnocchi with a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu. Protein can slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Healthy Fats

Add a healthy fat source like avocado, nuts, or olive oil. Fats can help reduce the rate of digestion, leading to a more stable blood sugar level.

Pair with Legumes

Include beans or lentils alongside your gnocchi. These foods have a stabilizing effect on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and glucose regulation.

Increase Physical Activity

Engage in light exercise such as a short walk after your meal to help improve blood sugar management.

Choose Whole Grain Gnocchi

Opt for whole wheat or whole grain gnocchi alternatives if available, as they typically have a more gradual effect on blood sugar.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly. Eating slowly can prevent overeating and allow your body to better manage glucose levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Consider having gnocchi as part of your lunch instead of dinner, which might give your body more time to use the glucose throughout the day.
