How to consume Butter Popcorn without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume a serving of lean protein such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu alongside your popcorn to slow down the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a source of healthy fats like a small portion of avocado, a handful of almonds, or a few olives. These can help moderate the digestion of carbohydrates.

Enjoy Low-Carb Vegetables

Add non-starchy vegetables like cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, or a small salad as a side dish to balance your meal.

Include Whole Grains

If you're having an additional carbohydrate, choose whole grains such as quinoa or barley to stabilize blood sugar levels.

Hydrate Well

Drink plenty of water before and during your meal to help with digestion and glucose regulation.

Practice Portion Control

Keep your popcorn serving size moderate and be mindful of additional buttery or sugary toppings.

Opt for Air-Popped

Choose air-popped popcorn without added butter or sugar to minimize spikes.

Add Fiber

Consider incorporating foods high in fiber like chia seeds or flaxseeds with your meal to help reduce glucose spikes.

Monitor Timing

Try eating your popcorn after a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to minimize blood sugar spikes.

Regular Activity

Engage in light physical activity after your meal, such as a short walk, to help your body manage glucose levels more effectively.
