How to consume Hummus, Mixed Salad Greens without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the portion size of hummus you consume. Smaller portions can help minimize the glucose spike.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, into your meal. Protein helps to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds to your salad. These can further slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Choose Whole Grain Options

If you eat the salad with bread or crackers, opt for whole grain versions which are digested more slowly.

Increase Fiber Intake

Add extra high-fiber vegetables to your salad, such as broccoli, bell peppers, or cucumbers, to slow down digestion.

Eat Slowly

Take your time while eating. Chewing thoroughly and eating slowly can help regulate blood sugar levels.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal, which can aid in better digestion and glucose management.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a dressing with vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider vinegar, which can help lower blood sugar spikes.

Mix with Other Low-Carb Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables like spinach, kale, and arugula to your mixed greens for added volume and fiber without excess carbs.

Monitor Meal Timing

Consider having smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to avoid large spikes in glucose levels.
