How to consume Hummus (Commercial), Pita Bread without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the quantity of hummus and pita bread you consume in one sitting to minimize the glucose spike.

Pair with Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, or carrots to your meal, as they can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Whole Grain Pita

Opt for whole grain or multigrain pita bread, which typically leads to a slower increase in blood glucose levels compared to refined options.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or turkey, to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado or a drizzle of olive oil, which can further slow the digestion process.

Monitor Timing

Try eating hummus and pita as part of a larger meal rather than as a standalone snack, which may help moderate blood sugar responses.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during your meal to aid digestion and help with blood sugar regulation.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and focus on thoroughly chewing your food, which can help with digestion and blood sugar management.

Experiment with Recipes

Consider making your own hummus using less tahini and oil, allowing you to control the ingredients and portion sizes.
