How to consume minestrone soup (canned) without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a hard-boiled egg. Protein helps slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado slices, olive oil, or a handful of nuts. These fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole-Grain Bread

If you want to have bread on the side, opt for whole-grain or multi-grain bread, which is digested more slowly than refined bread.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Complement your soup with a side salad or steamed non-starchy vegetables like broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers. The fiber in these veggies can help manage blood sugar levels.

Drink Water

Stay hydrated by drinking water before and during your meal. This can help you feel full and may reduce the rate at which you consume carbohydrates.

Eat Smaller Portions

Consider eating a smaller portion of the minestrone soup and complementing it with other low-carbohydrate foods to keep your overall carbohydrate intake in check.

Check for Added Sugars

When choosing canned soups, read the labels carefully to avoid those with added sugars or high-fructose corn syrup, which can cause rapid glucose spikes.

Use Vinegar

Adding a splash of vinegar to your soup or having a small salad with a vinegar-based dressing before your meal can help improve insulin sensitivity and slow down digestion.

Eat Slowly

Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly can help in better digestion and more stable blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

A short walk after your meal can help your body use up some of the glucose from your food, preventing spikes in your blood sugar levels.
