Guacamole (1 Tbsp)

Replace tortilla chips with raw non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber, bell pepper, celery, or broccoli for dipping.

Use a smaller guacamole portion and avoid pairing it with chips, crackers, tortillas, or sweetened salsa.

Add protein alongside it, such as eggs, plain Greek yogurt, chicken, tofu, or fish, to slow the meal’s glucose impact.

Eat guacamole as part of a balanced meal with a large serving of non-starchy vegetables rather than as a snack with refined carbohydrates.

Check the label or recipe for added sugar, fruit juice, sweet sauces, or high-carbohydrate mix-ins; choose a simple avocado, lime, cilantro, onion, and salt preparation.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating and compare your glucose response with and without chip-based sides.
