How to consume salad with broccoli, carrot, tomato, zucchini, spinach, soya without glucose spikes

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of lean protein into your salad, such as grilled chicken, tofu, or chickpeas. Protein can help slow down the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, like avocado slices or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds). These can help moderate the rise in blood sugar.

Incorporate Whole Grains

If you want to add some grains to your salad, choose whole grains like quinoa or barley. These are absorbed more slowly than refined grains.

Use a Vinaigrette Dressing

Opt for a dressing made with vinegar and olive oil rather than creamy or sugary dressings. Vinegar can help improve insulin sensitivity and slow down digestion.

Add Fiber-Rich Ingredients

Include additional fiber-rich ingredients such as lentils or beans. These can aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels.

Watch Portion Sizes

Be mindful of the portion sizes of high-carb ingredients like carrots and tomatoes. Balancing these with more non-starchy vegetables can help.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to chew and savor your food. Eating slowly can help your body process the food more efficiently and prevent rapid spikes.

Stay Hydrated

Drink a glass of water before eating your salad. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon over your salad. It has been shown to have a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels.
