How to consume 2 apples without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consider eating a small portion of protein alongside the apples, such as a handful of nuts, a slice of cheese, or a boiled egg. This can help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a source of healthy fat to your meal, like a tablespoon of almond butter or a few slices of avocado. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

If you're having a larger meal, include whole grains like quinoa or brown rice. These can provide a steady release of energy and prevent sharp spikes.

Add Fiber-Rich Foods

Snack on fiber-rich foods such as chia seeds or flaxseeds. Mixing these into a yogurt or smoothie can help slow digestion and maintain stable glucose levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before or after consuming the apples. Staying hydrated can aid in digestion and help manage blood sugar levels.

Timing of Consumption

Spread out the consumption of the apples throughout the day instead of eating them all at once. This can help prevent a sudden spike.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after eating the apples. This can help your muscles use up some of the sugar for energy.

Mindful Eating

Eat the apples slowly and mindfully, which can aid in better digestion and reduce the likelihood of a rapid increase in blood sugar.

Include Vegetables

Pair the apples with non-starchy vegetables like cucumber or celery sticks, which can help balance the overall impact on your blood sugar.

Monitor Portion Size

Consider reducing the portion size of the apples and see how your body responds to a smaller quantity.
