How to consume Mexican without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grains

Opt for whole-grain tortillas instead of white flour tortillas. They digest more slowly and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Beans

Black beans, kidney beans, or pinto beans are excellent additions to your meal. They are high in fiber and protein, which can help mitigate glucose spikes.

Add Vegetables

Fill your plate with non-starchy vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and leafy greens to add volume and nutrients without greatly affecting glucose levels.

Lean Proteins

Include lean proteins such as grilled chicken, turkey, or fish, which can help slow down the digestion of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Use avocado or a small amount of olive oil in your dishes. Healthy fats can help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes, especially for carbohydrate-rich foods, to help keep your overall intake in check.

Sour Cream Substitute

Use Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream, as it provides protein and is lower in carbohydrates.

Limit Sugary Drinks

Choose water, unsweetened iced tea, or sparkling water instead of sugary drinks like sodas or sweetened aguas frescas.

Salsa Over Cheese

Opt for salsa instead of cheese or cheese sauces. Salsa adds flavor without a high carbohydrate load.

Conscious Snacking

If you snack, choose options like a small handful of nuts or a piece of fruit with a lower sugar content, such as berries.
