How to consume shortbread cookies without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume shortbread cookies alongside a source of protein or healthy fats, like Greek yogurt, nuts, or cheese. This combination can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Portion Control

Limit your intake by having a smaller portion of cookies. Enjoy one or two rather than several to reduce the overall impact on your blood sugar levels.

Opt for Whole Grains

If possible, choose whole grain or low-carb versions of shortbread cookies, which may have a less pronounced impact on blood sugar.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water throughout your meal or afterwards. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Add Fiber

Incorporate high-fiber foods into your meal, such as green vegetables or a small salad. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Active Movement

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after consuming cookies. Exercise can help your muscles use up some of the sugar.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and savor each bite. Mindful eating can prevent overconsumption and help you better regulate your intake.

Alternative Sweeteners

If baking your own cookies, consider using alternative sweeteners that have a lesser impact on blood sugar.

Monitor Your Blood Sugar

Keep track of how your body reacts to certain foods and adjust accordingly to minimize spikes in the future.

Timing of Consumption

Have your cookies as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to help dampen the glucose response.
