How to consume Zucchini without glucose spikes

Pair Zucchini with Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or a handful of almonds to slow down the absorption of glucose.

Add Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, or a small portion of nuts to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine zucchini with fiber-rich foods such as lentils, quinoa, or chickpeas to promote gradual digestion and absorption.

Use Vinegar or Lemon Juice

Add a splash of vinegar or fresh lemon juice to your zucchini dishes, as acidic foods can help moderate blood sugar spikes.

Include Leafy Greens

Serve zucchini with leafy greens like spinach or kale, which can help slow glucose absorption.

Eat Smaller Portions

Consider reducing the portion size of zucchini to minimize the overall impact on blood sugar levels.

Cook with Herbs and Spices

Use herbs and spices such as cinnamon or turmeric, which may help regulate blood sugar levels.

Choose Low-Sugar Sauces

If using sauces with zucchini, opt for ones low in sugar and carbs, such as pesto or a homemade tomato sauce.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before and during meals to aid digestion and maintain optimal blood sugar levels.

Monitor Meal Timing

Spread carbohydrate intake throughout the day to avoid large spikes at any one meal.
