How to consume Mashed Potatoes (Whole Milk Added) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the serving size of mashed potatoes to minimize the impact on your blood sugar levels.
Fiber Addition
Incorporate a high-fiber food like steamed broccoli or a mixed green salad alongside the mashed potatoes to slow down carbohydrate absorption.
Healthy Fats
Add a small amount of olive oil or avocado to your meal. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.
Protein Pairing
Include a serving of lean protein such as grilled chicken or tofu with your meal. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Vinegar Use
Add a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider or balsamic, to your greens or side salad. Vinegar may help in reducing blood sugar spikes.
Alternative Preparation
Consider using cauliflower in place of some of the potatoes to decrease the carbohydrate content of the dish.
Pre-Meal Exercise
Engage in a short walk or light exercise before your meal to improve insulin sensitivity and lessen the glucose spike.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and absorption.
Mindful Eating
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body more time to process the carbohydrates and regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.
Timing and Frequency
Avoid eating large servings of mashed potatoes late at night, and try to spread carbohydrate intake evenly throughout the day.
