How to consume arabic zaatar manakish without glucose spikes
Pair with Proteins
Add a source of protein to your meal, such as Greek yogurt, eggs, or a handful of nuts, to help slow down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates.
Incorporate Healthy Fats
Include healthy fats like avocado slices, a drizzle of olive oil, or a small amount of cheese on your manakish to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Increase Fiber Intake
Add a side salad with leafy greens and cucumber or a small serving of lentils or chickpeas. Fiber helps slow down the absorption of sugars.
Stay Hydrated
Drink a glass of water before and during your meal. Adequate hydration can aid in the digestion process and help regulate blood sugar levels.
Control Portion Sizes
Reduce the portion size of the manakish and complement it with more non-starchy vegetables or a small bowl of vegetable soup to feel full without overloading on carbohydrates.
Opt for Whole Grains
If possible, choose whole grain or whole wheat dough for your manakish to increase fiber content and reduce the impact on blood sugar.
Go for a Walk
Engage in light physical activity, such as a short walk, after eating. This can help your body use the glucose more efficiently and reduce spikes.
Eat Slowly
Take your time to eat and chew thoroughly. This can enhance digestion and help prevent rapid spikes in blood glucose.
Monitor Timing
Try to eat your zaatar manakish during a meal rather than as a standalone snack to minimize its impact on your blood sugar levels.
