How to consume Croissant without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Eat your croissant with a source of protein like Greek yogurt, eggs, or a handful of nuts. Protein can help slow the absorption of carbohydrates.

Add Fiber

Include a fiber-rich food such as an apple, berries, or a small salad with your meal. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats

Add a small portion of healthy fats like avocado slices or a few olives. Healthy fats can help reduce the rate at which carbohydrates are digested.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water with your meal. Staying hydrated can help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Limit yourself to a smaller portion of the croissant, or share it with someone else to reduce the overall carbohydrate intake.

Choose Whole Grains

If possible, opt for a whole grain or multigrain croissant. Whole grains are digested more slowly than refined grains.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk after eating. This can help your body use the glucose more effectively.

Mindful Eating

Eat your croissant slowly and savor each bite. Eating more slowly can help you feel more satisfied and reduce the likelihood of overeating.

Timing of Meal

Try not to eat the croissant on an empty stomach. Have it as part of a balanced meal rather than as a standalone snack to avoid spikes in blood sugar.

Monitor Your Response

Keep track of how your body responds to eating a croissant and make adjustments as needed. Everyone’s body reacts differently to foods, so personal monitoring is key.
