How to consume Bhel without glucose spikes

Portion Control

Reduce the quantity of Bhel you consume to manage your overall carbohydrate intake.

Protein Addition

Add a source of protein such as boiled chickpeas, boiled eggs, or tofu to your Bhel to slow down glucose absorption.

Healthy Fats

Incorporate healthy fats like avocado, nuts, or seeds (e.g., flaxseeds or chia seeds) into your Bhel. These can help stabilize your blood sugar levels.

Vegetable Inclusion

Increase the amount of vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers in your Bhel to add fiber and reduce the impact on your blood sugar levels.

Pre-Meal Snack

Consume a small handful of nuts (such as almonds or walnuts) 20-30 minutes before eating Bhel. This can help blunt the glucose spike.

Vinegar Addition

Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to your Bhel. These acidic components can help lower the glycemic impact of your meal.

Alternative Grains

Consider using puffed quinoa or barley instead of puffed rice in your Bhel. These alternatives have a lower impact on blood sugar.

Hydration

Drink a glass of water before and after your meal. Staying hydrated can help manage blood sugar levels.

Slow Eating

Eat your Bhel slowly and mindfully. This allows your body more time to process the carbohydrates and reduces the likelihood of a spike.

Balanced Meal Timing

Pair your Bhel with a balanced meal that includes protein, healthy fats, and fiber. This combination can help moderate blood sugar levels.
