How to consume Red Delicious Apples without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Eating apples with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of nuts or a slice of cheese, can help slow down the absorption of sugars, reducing the glucose spike.

Moderate Portion Size

Consider eating only half an apple at a time and saving the other half for later. This can help manage the amount of sugar your body processes at once.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your apple slices. Cinnamon is known to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Choose Granny Smith Apples

Opt for Granny Smith apples instead of Red Delicious, as they tend to have a slightly lower impact on blood sugar levels.

Include Fiber-Rich Foods

Enjoy your apple with high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds. These can slow down sugar absorption.

Consume After a Meal

Eat apples as part of a meal rather than as a standalone snack. This can help moderate the impact on blood sugar levels.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating an apple to help your body use the glucose more efficiently.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and after consuming an apple to help slow down the digestion process.

Opt for a Smaller Apple

Choosing a smaller apple can naturally reduce sugar intake, which may help with blood sugar management.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of your blood sugar levels after consuming apples to understand how they affect you personally, and adjust your intake accordingly.
