How to consume Icecream without glucose spikes

Choose Smaller Portions

Opt for a smaller serving size of ice cream to reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Pair with Fiber

Add some fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or a small handful of nuts to your ice cream. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Protein

Consider having a protein source such as a few slices of cheese, a hard-boiled egg, or a small serving of Greek yogurt alongside your ice cream to help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you’re having a dessert with a side, choose whole grain options like a small oatmeal cookie instead of refined sugar treats.

Look for Low-Sugar Alternatives

Choose ice creams labeled as "no sugar added" or "reduced sugar" to help manage your sugar intake better.

Choose Ice Cream with Real Fruit

If available, select ice creams that contain real fruit pieces, as the natural sugars are accompanied by fiber.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity like a walk after eating ice cream. This can enhance insulin sensitivity and help regulate blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before and after your ice cream to help your body process sugar more effectively.

Practice Mindful Eating

Savor each bite and eat slowly, which can aid in digestion and potentially lessen the spike.

Consider Timing

Eat ice cream as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to mitigate rapid blood sugar increases.
