How to consume peanut butter and jelly sandwich without glucose spikes

Whole Grain Bread

Choose whole grain or multi-grain bread instead of white bread for your sandwich. Whole grain options have more fiber, which can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Natural Peanut Butter

Opt for natural or unsweetened peanut butter to reduce added sugars. Check the label to ensure it contains only peanuts and possibly a small amount of salt.

Portion Control

Limit the amount of peanut butter and jelly you use. Try using a thin layer of each to enjoy the flavors without overindulging in sugars and fats.

Low-Sugar Jelly

Use a low-sugar or sugar-free jelly or preserve. You can also consider using fresh fruit slices like bananas or strawberries as an alternative to jelly.

Add Protein

Include a protein-rich food, such as a small serving of Greek yogurt or a boiled egg, alongside your sandwich to help balance blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber

Pair your sandwich with a fiber-rich food, such as a small salad or raw vegetables like carrot sticks or cucumber slices, to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats by adding a few slices of avocado to your meal. This can help stabilize blood sugar spikes.

Drink Water

Drink a glass of water with your meal instead of sugary beverages to avoid additional sugar intake.

Monitor Portion Size

Consider having half a sandwich instead of a full one, especially if you are sensitive to carbohydrate intake.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly, which can aid in digestion and help manage blood sugar spikes.
