How to consume almonds, sweet or dark chocolate without glucose spikes

Pair with Fiber-Rich Foods

Combine almonds, sweet chocolate, or dark chocolate with fiber-rich foods like berries, apples, or vegetables such as carrots and bell peppers to help slow down the absorption of sugars.

Include Protein

Add a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of seeds like chia or flax to your snack. This can help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Opt for Dark Chocolate with Higher Cocoa Content

Choose dark chocolate that contains 70% cocoa or higher, as it often has less sugar and more beneficial compounds compared to milk chocolate.

Moderate Portions

Be mindful of portion sizes. Consuming smaller amounts can help prevent large spikes in blood glucose levels.

Drink Water

Accompany your snack with a glass of water. Staying hydrated aids in the regulation of blood sugar levels.

Add Healthy Fats

Include a small portion of healthy fats such as avocado, olive oil, or a few olives. Healthy fats can slow down the digestion process and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Whole Grains

If you’re eating almonds, consider pairing them with a small serving of whole grain crackers or bread. Whole grains digest more slowly, reducing the impact on blood sugar.

Eat Slowly

Take your time to eat and enjoy your snack. Eating slowly can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.

Exercise After Eating

A light walk or gentle exercise after eating can help your body use up glucose, reducing the likelihood of a spike.

Monitor Timing

Try to eat your snack at a time when your body is most effective at managing blood sugar, such as earlier in the day or around physical activity.
