How to consume Apples, Peanut Butter without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Start by consuming smaller portions of apples and peanut butter. This helps manage the overall carbohydrate intake, reducing the potential for a spike.

Protein Pairing

Incorporate a source of lean protein, such as a boiled egg or a small piece of chicken, with your meal. Protein can slow down digestion and help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Fiber Addition

Include high-fiber foods like chia seeds or flaxseeds. Mixing them into peanut butter or sprinkling them on apple slices can help slow the absorption of sugars.

Healthy Fats

Add a small amount of healthy fats, such as a few almonds or walnuts, to your snack. These fats can help moderate blood sugar levels by slowing down the digestion process.

Timing of Consumption

Try eating apples and peanut butter earlier in the day when your body might be more efficient at processing carbohydrates, rather than late at night.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity, like a short walk, after consuming apples and peanut butter. This can help your muscles use up some of the glucose and reduce blood sugar levels.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before eating your snack. Staying hydrated can aid in metabolic processes and help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Mindful Eating

Practice mindful eating by chewing slowly and savoring each bite. This can aid in better digestion and help prevent overeating, which can lead to spikes.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to apples and peanut butter. Adjust your portions or pairings based on your individual blood sugar responses.

Alternative Snack

If apples and peanut butter consistently cause spikes, consider switching to other low-sugar fruits like berries, along with a small serving of nuts, as a balanced snack option.
