How to consume Orange without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Include a source of protein such as a handful of almonds or a piece of cheese. Protein can slow the absorption of sugar.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado or a small amount of peanut butter. Fats help slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Eat with Fiber

Combine the orange with high-fiber foods like chia seeds or a small portion of quinoa. Fiber slows the absorption of sugars.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after eating the orange to help with digestion and prevent rapid sugar spikes.

Moderate Portion Size

Instead of consuming a large orange, opt for a smaller portion to reduce the amount of sugar intake at one time.

Time Your Intake

Eat the orange as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own. This can help moderate the impact on blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after consuming the orange to help your body use up the sugar more efficiently.

Consume Slowly

Eat the orange slowly and chew thoroughly to give your body more time to process the sugars gradually.
