How to consume Kidney Beans without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or fish, alongside kidney beans to help moderate the rise in blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats, like avocado or a small portion of nuts, to slow down the absorption of carbohydrates from the beans.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Enjoy kidney beans with non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, broccoli, or bell peppers to add fiber and help stabilize blood sugar.

Portion Control

Limit the portion size of kidney beans to keep carbohydrate intake in check, preventing a large spike in glucose levels.

Vinegar Dressing

Use vinegar-based dressings on salads that accompany your meal, as the acidity can help reduce the blood sugar response.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal to aid digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after meals to help utilize the glucose in your body more efficiently.

Eat Slowly

Take your time when eating to give your body a chance to process the carbohydrates in kidney beans more gradually.

Meal Timing

Space out your meals and snacks throughout the day to prevent large fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after consuming kidney beans and adjust your meal components as needed for better control.
