How to consume Apples, Poha without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein

Add a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts when consuming apples or poha. Protein can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include healthy fats such as avocado slices or a spoonful of peanut butter with your apple. For poha, consider adding a side of hummus or a few olives.

Add Fiber

Enhance the fiber content by pairing apples or poha with a fiber-rich food. Consider adding chia seeds or flaxseeds to your meal, or include a side of steamed non-starchy vegetables like broccoli or spinach.

Smaller Portions

Reduce the portion size of apples and poha. Opt for half an apple or a smaller serving of poha to decrease the carbohydrate load.

Include Leafy Greens

Add leafy greens such as spinach, kale, or lettuce to your meal. These can be mixed into poha or eaten as a side salad with apples.

Add a Vinegar-Based Dressing

If you’re eating apples or poha as a part of a salad, use a vinegar-based dressing. Vinegar can help moderate blood sugar levels.

Choose Whole Grains

When preparing poha, consider mixing in a small portion of whole grains like quinoa or barley to enhance the nutritional profile of the meal.

Stay Hydrated

Drink water or herbal tea with your meal to help your body manage the carbohydrate intake better.

Mindful Eating

Eat slowly and mindfully, paying attention to your body’s hunger and fullness cues to avoid overeating.

Regular Exercise

Engage in light physical activity like a short walk post-meal to help your body utilize the glucose more effectively.
