How to consume sweet potato soup without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of lean protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or beans to your meal. This helps slow down the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, or seeds with your soup, which can also help moderate blood sugar levels.

Use Whole Grains

Serve your soup with a side of whole-grain bread or a small portion of brown rice or quinoa. These options are digested more slowly compared to refined grains.

Add Non-Starchy Vegetables

Increase the fiber content by adding vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your soup. These vegetables help to slow down sugar absorption.

Control Portions

Keep your serving size moderate. Consuming a larger quantity can lead to a greater spike in blood sugar levels.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal, which can aid in digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Opt for Cinnamon

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon on your soup. Some studies suggest that cinnamon can help improve insulin sensitivity.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and chew your food thoroughly. Eating slowly can help your body better regulate blood sugar levels.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk after eating. This can help lower blood sugar levels more quickly.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to different food combinations and adjust accordingly. Making small, incremental changes can lead to better blood sugar management over time.
