How to consume shortbread cookies without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Limit the number of shortbread cookies you consume in one sitting to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.
Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods
Consume the cookies with foods high in fiber, such as a small apple or a handful of berries, to help slow down sugar absorption.
Include Healthy Fats
Pair your cookies with a small serving of nuts, like almonds or walnuts, which can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, choose whole-grain versions of baked goods or pair your cookies with a slice of whole-grain bread to add more complex carbohydrates to your snack.
Incorporate Protein
Add a source of protein, such as a small piece of cheese or a Greek yogurt, to your snack to help stabilize your blood sugar.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before consuming the cookies to potentially help in moderating the glucose response.
Physical Activity
Engage in light physical activity, such as a walk, after eating the cookies to help your body use the glucose more effectively.
Mindful Eating
Eat your cookies slowly and savor each bite to help control your portion size and enhance satiety.
Timing of Consumption
Consider having your cookies as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to help mitigate spikes.
Monitor Blood Sugar
Keep track of your blood sugar levels before and after eating to better understand how your body responds and adjust your approach accordingly.
