How to consume Ice Cream without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Limit your ice cream portion size. Opt for a small scoop instead of a large serving to minimize the amount of sugar consumed.

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein, such as a handful of nuts or a spoonful of nut butter, to slow down the absorption of sugar.

Add Fiber

Include a fiber-rich food like chia seeds or a small amount of berries alongside your ice cream. Fiber can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Nuts

Consider topping your ice cream with nuts like almonds or walnuts. They add healthy fats and protein that can aid in stabilizing blood sugar.

Go for Whole Fruits

If possible, choose ice cream that includes or is made with whole fruit ingredients, which tend to have a lower sugar content than traditional ice cream.

Hydrate Well

Drink a glass of water before or after eating ice cream to help with digestion and dilution of sugar in your system.

Opt for Lower Sugar Options

Choose ice cream varieties that are labeled as "no sugar added" or "reduced sugar" to minimize sugar intake.

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle some cinnamon on your ice cream. This spice is believed to help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Exercise Moderately

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating ice cream to help your muscles use up the sugar in your bloodstream.

Mindful Eating

Eat your ice cream slowly and savor each bite, which can help promote satisfaction with smaller portions and prevent overeating.
