How to consume peanut butter and jelly sandwich without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for whole grain or multigrain bread instead of white bread to slow down the digestion process.

Use Natural Peanut Butter

Select natural peanut butter that doesn't have added sugars or hydrogenated oils.

Limit Jelly Quantity

Reduce the amount of jelly you use, or choose a lower-sugar option.

Opt for Fresh Fruit Spread

Instead of jelly, consider using fresh berries or mashed fruit, such as strawberries or raspberries, with no added sugar.

Include a Protein Source

Add a side of protein, like a boiled egg or a handful of nuts, to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a few slices of avocado or some chia seeds for healthy fats that can help moderate the impact on blood sugar.

Pair with Vegetables

Eat a portion of non-starchy vegetables, such as baby carrots or cucumber slices, alongside your sandwich to increase fiber intake.

Drink Water

Have a glass of water with your meal instead of sugary drinks to avoid additional sugar intake.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your sandwich, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Keep an eye on portion sizes to prevent consuming more carbohydrates than needed in one sitting.
