How to consume swedish chia pudding, strawberries without glucose spikes

Add Protein or Healthy Fats

Incorporate a source of protein or healthy fats into your meal. Consider adding a handful of nuts, like almonds or walnuts, or a dollop of Greek yogurt to your chia pudding to slow down the absorption of sugars.

Use Unsweetened Milk Alternatives

If your chia pudding uses a sweetened milk alternative, switch to an unsweetened version or use a milk like unsweetened almond milk to reduce sugar content.

Choose a Fiber-Rich Topping

Instead of strawberries, consider adding berries like raspberries or blackberries, which have a lower sugar content and are high in fiber, helping to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Monitor Portion Sizes

Keep an eye on your portion sizes to avoid consuming too many carbohydrates at once, which can lead to spikes in blood glucose levels.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your pudding, as it may help improve insulin sensitivity and slow down the rate at which the stomach empties after meals.

Consume a Balanced Meal

Pair your chia pudding with a small serving of lean protein, such as a boiled egg, to add balance and reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water with your meal to help with digestion and reduce the concentration of sugars in your digestive system.

Eat in a Relaxed Environment

Eating slowly and in a calm environment can help you better listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues, preventing overeating.

Pre-Mix Chia Pudding

Allow your chia seeds to soak overnight. This will enhance the gel-like texture and make it more satisfying, potentially reducing the likelihood of overeating.

Incorporate Lemon Juice

Add a squeeze of lemon juice to your chia pudding or berries, as it can help lower the blood sugar response due to its acidity.
