How to consume mexican salad without glucose spikes

Add Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to your salad. These fats can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Protein

Add grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu to your salad. Proteins can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you include grains in your salad, choose options like quinoa or brown rice. These are digested more slowly.

Incorporate Legumes

Add black beans or chickpeas to your salad. They are high in fiber and protein, which can help moderate glucose levels.

Use Leafy Greens

Base your salad on leafy greens like spinach or kale instead of iceberg lettuce, as they have more fiber and nutrients.

Control Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of higher-carbohydrate ingredients such as corn and tomatoes.

Choose Low-Sugar Dressings

Opt for dressings that are low in added sugars. A homemade vinaigrette with lemon or lime juice, olive oil, and herbs can be a good option.

Add Nuts and Seeds

Sprinkle a handful of nuts like almonds or seeds such as chia or flaxseed on your salad for added fiber and healthy fats.

Mind the Timing

Eating your salad slowly and savoring each bite can help your body process the food more efficiently.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your meal to aid digestion and help your body manage sugar levels better.
