How to consume spanish caprese salad without glucose spikes

Include More Fiber

Add a handful of mixed greens like spinach or kale to your salad to increase fiber content, which helps slow down glucose absorption.

Opt for Whole Grains

If you're serving the salad with bread, choose whole-grain or sourdough options to help moderate blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a few slices of avocado or a sprinkle of nuts like almonds or walnuts to the salad, as healthy fats can help stabilize blood sugar.

Use a Balanced Dressing

Create a dressing using olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar. Avoid dressings with added sugars or high carbohydrate content.

Portion Control

Keep the portions of mozzarella cheese moderate, as larger amounts of dairy could contribute to a rise in blood sugar for some individuals.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Consider adding other non-starchy vegetables such as bell peppers or cucumbers to the salad to provide additional nutrients and bulk.

Pair with Protein

Include a source of lean protein, such as grilled chicken or tofu, to help balance the meal and keep blood sugar levels steady.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea with your meal instead of sugary beverages, which can cause glucose spikes.

Mind Your Pace

Eat slowly and savor each bite, as a slower eating pace can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Monitor Post-Meal Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating to help your body use glucose more efficiently.
