How to consume muesli (dried fruit and nuts) without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the serving size of muesli to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting. Consider using a measuring cup to keep track of portions.

Add Protein

Incorporate a source of protein such as Greek yogurt or cottage cheese alongside your muesli. Proteins can help slow down the absorption of sugars into the bloodstream.

Include Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of seeds like chia or flaxseeds, or a few slices of avocado, as these fats can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Mix with Low-GI Fruits

Instead of dried fruit, add fresh or frozen berries, such as strawberries or blueberries, which have a lower impact on blood sugar.

Opt for Whole Grains

Choose muesli made with whole grains like oats, which are digested more slowly and provide a steadier release of energy.

Incorporate Fibrous Foods

Enhance your muesli with additional fiber-rich foods such as a tablespoon of psyllium husk or a sprinkle of flaxseed meal to help regulate blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before eating muesli. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help manage blood sugar spikes.

Acidic Foods

Add a splash of lemon juice or a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to your muesli or drink a small glass of lemon water before consumption to help moderate blood sugar response.

Timing

Consume muesli as part of a balanced meal, rather than on an empty stomach, to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating muesli to help your muscles utilize the glucose more effectively.
