How to consume peanut butter cookies without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the number of peanut butter cookies you consume in one sitting. Smaller portions can help minimize the glucose spike.

Combine with Protein or Healthy Fats

Eat the cookies with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds or a serving of Greek yogurt, to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Choose Whole Grain Alternatives

If baking cookies yourself, opt for whole grain or almond flour instead of white flour to increase the fiber content and reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Add Cinnamon

Incorporate cinnamon into your cookie recipe or sprinkle some on top. Cinnamon is known to help improve blood sugar control.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating the cookies to help with digestion and reduce the likelihood of a significant glucose spike.

Opt for Low-Sugar Recipes

Use a recipe that calls for less sugar or consider using a sugar substitute like stevia, which can result in a lower glucose response.

Eat Slowly

Consume the cookies slowly and chew thoroughly, which can aid digestion and lead to a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair the cookies with fiber-rich foods, such as an apple or carrot sticks, to help stabilize blood sugar.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a brisk walk, after eating to help manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Monitor Timing

Consider eating the cookies as part of a balanced meal rather than a standalone snack to reduce the likelihood of a spike.
