How to consume Chai | Dosa without glucose spikes

Protein Pairing

Include a source of protein such as Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or a handful of nuts like almonds or walnuts alongside your meal to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Healthy Fats Addition

Add healthy fats to your meal by incorporating avocado slices, a spoonful of chia seeds, or a drizzle of olive oil. These fats can slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Vegetable Inclusion

Add non-starchy vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers to your dosa filling. The fiber in these veggies can help moderate glucose spikes.

Portion Control

Reduce portion sizes of both the Chai and Dosa to limit the amount of carbohydrates consumed in one sitting.

Fiber-Rich Sides

Combine your meal with fiber-rich foods such as a small bowl of quinoa, barley, or a side salad with leafy greens to help manage blood sugar levels.

Sugar Alternatives

For the Chai, use natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit in place of sugar, or reduce the amount of sugar you add.

Whole Grains

If possible, prepare your dosa using whole grain or multigrain flours instead of refined flours to increase fiber content.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water throughout your meal to aid in digestion and help with glucose level management.

Timing of Consumption

Try to consume your Chai and Dosa earlier in the day when your body’s insulin sensitivity is generally higher.

Physical Activity

Engage in light physical activity such as a short walk after your meal to help lower blood glucose levels.
