How to consume Soft Pretzels without glucose spikes
Pair with Protein
Add a source of protein such as a handful of nuts, cheese, or a boiled egg when eating soft pretzels to help slow down the absorption of glucose.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado slices or a small portion of olive oil-based dip to accompany the pretzels, which can help moderate the glucose spike.
Choose Whole Grain Pretzels
Opt for whole grain or whole wheat pretzels, as they contain more fiber, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Non-Starchy Vegetables
Pair your pretzels with non-starchy vegetables such as cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, or cherry tomatoes to increase fiber intake.
Limit Portion Size
Be mindful of the portion size of pretzels to control the quantity of carbohydrates consumed at once.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water before and after eating pretzels to help with digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat, as eating slowly can help your body better manage how it processes the carbohydrates.
Precede with a Fiber-Rich Snack
If possible, have a fiber-rich snack, like a small apple or pear with skin, before consuming pretzels to help blunt the glucose spike.
