How to consume Hummus without glucose spikes
Pair with Vegetables
Consume hummus with non-starchy vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers. These foods can help moderate blood sugar levels due to their fiber content.
Add Protein
Include a source of protein like grilled chicken or turkey slices alongside hummus. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Use Whole Grain Options
If you're eating hummus with bread or crackers, choose whole grain or multigrain options that are high in fiber to slow the absorption of glucose.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as avocado or a sprinkle of seeds like chia or flax, to your meal. These can help delay the digestion of carbs.
Monitor Portion Size
Be mindful of the hummus portion size, as consuming large quantities can lead to more significant spikes. A moderate portion can help manage glucose levels.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after eating to help with digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Include a Salad
Have a side salad with leafy greens and a vinaigrette dressing. The fiber and acidity can aid in minimizing spikes.
Time Your Meal
Try to eat hummus as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own. The combination of other foods can help buffer glucose spikes.
Add a Squeeze of Lemon
Incorporate lemon juice into your hummus or meal. The acidity may aid in reducing blood sugar spikes.
Practice Mindful Eating
Eating slowly and mindfully can improve digestion and prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar.
