How to consume Ice Cream without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit the amount of ice cream you consume in one sitting to reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Choose Healthier Options

Opt for ice cream that is lower in added sugars and fats, such as those labeled as "no sugar added" or "light."

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Pair your ice cream with foods high in fiber such as a small serving of berries or a handful of nuts. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Include Protein

Before or along with your ice cream, eat a source of protein like a small serving of Greek yogurt or a few slices of turkey to help stabilize your blood sugar.

Time Your Treats Wisely

Enjoy ice cream as part of a balanced meal rather than on its own. This can help moderate the spike in glucose.

Stay Active

Engage in light physical activity like a walk after consuming ice cream to help your body process the sugar more efficiently.

Hydrate Well

Drink a glass of water before and after eating ice cream to help your body metabolize the sugar and curb any potential spikes.

Monitor Your Body's Response

Regularly check your blood sugar levels to understand how different types and amounts of ice cream affect you personally.

Experiment with Alternatives

Consider trying frozen yogurt or sorbets that might have a different impact on your glucose levels, provided they are lower in sugar.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite, which can help you feel satisfied with a smaller amount.
