How to consume House Salad without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate lean protein sources like grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu into your salad. Protein helps slow down the digestion of carbohydrates, reducing glucose spikes.

Include Healthy Fats

Add ingredients such as avocado, nuts, or seeds (like chia or flaxseeds) to your salad. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.

Opt for Leafy Greens

Use a variety of leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or arugula as the base for your salad. These greens have a low impact on blood sugar levels.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Include a variety of non-starchy vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli. These vegetables are digested more slowly and can help manage glucose levels.

Choose Vinegar-Based Dressings

Use salad dressings based on vinegar or lemon juice instead of creamy or sugary dressings. The acidity can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Incorporate Whole Grains

If you like grains in your salad, choose options like quinoa or barley, which have a slower impact on blood sugar.

Mind Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of higher-carbohydrate ingredients, such as croutons or fruit, to limit their impact on your glucose levels.

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Add fiber-rich foods like lentils or chickpeas to your salad. They help slow the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea with your meal instead of sugary drinks, which can exacerbate glucose spikes.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming your salad at a consistent time during meals to help your body adjust to and manage glucose levels more effectively.
