How to consume Gummy Bears without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Enjoy a handful of nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, alongside your gummy bears to slow down the absorption of sugar.

Eat Fiber-Rich Foods

Consume foods high in fiber like a small apple, pear, or a serving of berries, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially when consuming sugary snacks, to help flush excess sugar from your system.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you're having a meal with your gummy bears, include whole grains such as quinoa or brown rice to help stabilize blood sugar.

Incorporate Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or bell peppers to your meal to provide volume and fiber.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after consuming gummy bears to help your muscles use the sugar more effectively.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Limit the amount of gummy bears you eat in one sitting to reduce the likelihood of a spike.

Timing is Key

Have your gummy bears as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to lessen their impact on your blood sugar.

Choose Snacks Wisely

Substitute some of your gummy bears with a piece of dark chocolate or a few squares of a low-sugar chocolate bar to satisfy your sweet tooth with less sugar impact.

Mindful Eating

Eat your gummy bears slowly and mindfully, savoring each piece, which can help you eat less and reduce the spike.
