How to consume Salad Bowl without glucose spikes

Include Protein

Add a source of protein to your salad, such as grilled chicken, tofu, chickpeas, or lentils, to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds, or olive oil-based dressings, as they can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If your salad includes grains, opt for whole-grain options like quinoa or brown rice, which are digested more slowly.

Add Fiber-Rich Vegetables

Focus on adding non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumbers, bell peppers, and broccoli, which are high in fiber and can help prevent rapid glucose spikes.

Watch Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of high-carbohydrate ingredients like fruits and starchy vegetables to help manage blood sugar levels.

Include Vinegar

Adding a splash of vinegar, such as apple cider or balsamic, can help enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce the impact on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating your salad to help slow down digestion and the absorption of sugars.

Eat Slowly

Take your time eating to give your body a chance to process and regulate blood sugar levels more effectively.

Balance with a Walk

Consider taking a short walk after eating to help your body use glucose more efficiently.

Monitor Ingredients

Be cautious of any added sugars in salad dressings or toppings and opt for natural alternatives if needed.
