How to consume Apple without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Consume the apple with a source of protein such as a handful of nuts, a piece of cheese, or a boiled egg. This can help slow down the absorption of sugar.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Add a small serving of avocado or a spoonful of natural peanut butter when eating an apple to moderate the spike in blood sugar levels.

Add Fiber

Include fiber-rich foods like chia seeds or a small serving of oatmeal. These can help slow digestion and sugar absorption.

Eat with a Balanced Meal

Consider having your apple as part of a meal that includes protein, healthy fats, and whole grains to help balance the overall impact on your blood sugar.

Moderate Portion Size

Consider eating half an apple instead of a whole one to reduce the amount of sugar consumed in one sitting.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water before consuming the apple to help your body process the sugar more efficiently.

Opt for Whole Apples

Choose whole apples over apple juice or applesauce to benefit from the fiber content, which can help mitigate spikes.

Exercise After Eating

A short walk or light exercise after eating can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Choose Different Apple Varieties

Some apple varieties are naturally less sweet; opt for these as they may have a milder impact on blood sugar levels.

Monitor Timing

Try eating apples earlier in the day when your body is more active and better able to manage blood sugar levels.
