How to consume Dried Chia Seeds without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by reducing the amount of dried chia seeds you consume in one sitting. Consider measuring your servings to ensure they are consistent and moderate.

Hydration

Soak chia seeds in water or milk before consumption. When they absorb liquid, they expand and become gel-like, which can slow down digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Pair with Protein

Combine dried chia seeds with a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or nuts. Protein can help moderate blood sugar spikes by slowing the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a healthy fat like avocado, olive oil, or a small amount of nut butter to your meal or snack. Fats can help slow digestion and the release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Include high-fiber foods such as berries, apples, or pears with your chia seeds. The additional fiber can assist in maintaining steadier blood sugar levels.

Timing of Consumption

Consume chia seeds as part of a balanced meal rather than on their own. This helps distribute the glycemic load and minimizes the risk of a blood sugar spike.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity after meals containing chia seeds. A short walk or gentle exercise can aid in glucose uptake by muscles and help prevent spikes.

Monitor Blood Sugar

Keep track of how your body responds to chia seeds. This can help you identify the amount that works best for you and make necessary adjustments.
