How to consume Plain French Toast without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain Bread

Opt for whole grain or multigrain bread instead of white bread when making French toast. Whole grain bread is digested more slowly, leading to a steadier rise in blood sugar levels.

Use Sugar-Free Syrup or Toppings

Instead of traditional syrup, choose sugar-free syrup or top your French toast with fresh berries, such as strawberries or blueberries, which contribute natural sweetness without causing a large spike.

Incorporate Protein

Add a source of protein to your meal, such as a side of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of nuts like almonds or walnuts, to help slow digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.

Include Healthy Fats

Top your French toast with a thin spread of nut butter or a few slices of avocado. Healthy fats can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle cinnamon on your French toast. Cinnamon has been shown to help improve blood sugar control.

Limit Portion Size

Pay attention to portion sizes by having a smaller serving of French toast to minimize the impact on blood sugar levels.

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Consider serving your French toast with a small side of leafy greens or a salad. The fiber in these foods can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Unsweetened Almond Milk

If you're using milk to make the French toast batter, consider substituting it with unsweetened almond milk, which is lower in carbohydrates.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water with your meal. Adequate hydration can help support better digestion and more stable blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing and Activity

Try eating your French toast for breakfast when your body is more insulin-sensitive, and consider taking a short walk after your meal to help lower blood sugar levels naturally.
