Start by reducing your portion size of quinoa. Smaller servings can help moderate the glucose spike.

Combine quinoa with a protein source such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes. This can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds into your meal. Fats can help slow the digestion process and stabilize blood sugar levels.

Add vegetables like spinach, kale, or broccoli to your quinoa dish. High-fiber foods can help control blood sugar spikes.

Use vinegar-based dressings or squeeze lemon juice over your quinoa dish. The acidity can help reduce blood sugar spikes.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help your body process carbohydrates more effectively.

Try consuming quinoa as part of a balanced meal rather than on an empty stomach to slow down glucose absorption.

Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly to aid digestion and better manage blood sugar levels.

Engage in light physical activity after your meal, such as a walk, to help lower blood sugar levels.

Keep track of your blood sugar levels to better understand how quinoa affects you personally and adjust your diet accordingly.
