How to consume Hummus (Commercial) without glucose spikes
Pair with Vegetables
Combine hummus with non-starchy vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes. These have a low impact on blood sugar and provide volume and nutrients.
Choose Whole Grain Options
If you enjoy hummus with bread, opt for whole grain or whole wheat pita, which helps moderate blood sugar levels.
Add Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of nuts or seeds to your meal. This can slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, leading to a more gradual rise in blood sugar.
Watch Portion Sizes
Keep an eye on the portion size of hummus you consume. Eating smaller amounts can help control glucose spikes.
Include Protein
Add a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken or tofu to your meal. Protein helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
Hydrate Adequately
Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day. Staying well-hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Monitor Meal Timing
Pay attention to when you eat hummus. Consuming it as part of a balanced meal rather than a standalone snack can help mitigate spikes.
Stay Active
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can aid in controlling blood glucose levels post-meal.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and mindfully to give your body time to respond to signals of fullness, which can help prevent overeating and consequent spikes.
