How to consume hummus, toasted sour dough bread without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the portion size of hummus and sourdough bread to minimize the impact on blood glucose levels.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or turkey slices, to help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats like avocado slices or a small handful of nuts to your meal to help stabilize blood sugar.

Choose Whole-Grain Bread

Opt for whole-grain sourdough bread as it tends to have a lower impact on blood glucose compared to refined versions.

Add Vegetables

Include non-starchy vegetables such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or leafy greens to increase fiber intake and reduce the glucose spike.

Exercise Post-Meal

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

Monitor Ingredients

Check the ingredients of store-bought hummus for added sugars, and consider making your own with fresh ingredients to control sugar content.

Hydrate Adequately

Ensure you're well-hydrated before meals as proper hydration can aid in nutrient absorption and glucose management.

Eat Slowly

Consume your meal slowly to give your body time to process and respond to food intake, which can help in maintaining stable blood sugar levels.

Mindful Pairing

Pair hummus and sourdough with foods that are high in fiber and low in carbohydrates to balance out the meal's overall impact on blood sugar.
