How to consume Quesadilla without glucose spikes

Choose Whole Grain or Low-Carb Tortillas

Opt for whole grain or low-carb tortillas instead of refined flour tortillas to slow down carbohydrate absorption.

Add Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Include fiber-rich vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini in your quesadilla to help moderate glucose levels.

Opt for a Balanced Protein Source

Add a lean protein like grilled chicken, turkey, or beans to your quesadilla to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Use avocado or a small amount of olive oil as a topping or cooking fat to slow digestion and absorption of carbs.

Control Portion Sizes

Pay attention to portion sizes to prevent consuming too many carbs at once, which can lead to a spike in glucose levels.

Include a Side Salad

Pair your quesadilla with a side salad made of leafy greens and a light vinaigrette to add more fiber and nutrients to your meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal teas with your meal to help manage blood sugar levels.

Practice Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite, allowing your body to process cues of fullness and prevent overeating.

Use Spices Wisely

Add spices such as cinnamon or turmeric, which may have beneficial effects on blood sugar control.

Monitor and Adjust Ingredients

Keep track of how different ingredients affect your blood sugar and adjust them accordingly for better management.
