How to consume Quinoa bowl without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of quinoa in your bowl to limit the overall carbohydrate intake.

Protein Addition

Include a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes like lentils or chickpeas. Protein can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats

Add healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, or seeds. These can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down digestion.

Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Incorporate fiber-rich vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to help slow carbohydrate absorption and improve blood sugar control.

Vinegar Dressing

Use a dressing with vinegar or lemon juice, as the acidity can help lower blood sugar spikes after meals.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly. This can aid digestion and prevent a rapid increase in blood sugar.

Pre-Meal Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, before your meal to help improve insulin sensitivity.

Hydration

Drink water before and during your meal to help with digestion and to prevent overeating.

Monitor Timing

Try consuming your quinoa bowl earlier in the day when your body is more efficient at processing carbohydrates.

Combine with Low-Carb Foods

Pair your quinoa bowl with low-carb options like eggs or a small portion of cheese to balance the meal.
