How to consume chai, indian khakhra flatbread without glucose spikes

Pair with Protein or Healthy Fats

Consume your chai and khakhra with a source of protein or healthy fats, such as a handful of almonds or a small serving of yogurt. This can help slow down the absorption of carbohydrates.

Choose Whole Ingredients

Opt for khakhra made with whole grains or multigrain flour, which generally digest more slowly than refined grains, helping to prevent rapid spikes.

Add Fiber

Increase fiber intake by adding a serving of vegetables or a small salad on the side. Foods like cucumber, carrots, and bell peppers are good options.

Hydration

Drink plenty of water before or with your meal, as it can help regulate digestion and reduce the speed at which glucose enters the bloodstream.

Incorporate Cinnamon

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to your chai. Cinnamon is known for potentially helping to regulate blood sugar levels.

Portion Control

Be mindful of portion sizes. Smaller portions of khakhra can result in a smaller glucose response.

Time Your Meal

Avoid eating chai and khakhra immediately after other high-carbohydrate meals. Allow some time between meals to help manage glucose levels.

Exercise

Engage in light physical activity, such as a brisk walk, after consuming your meal. Exercise can help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin sensitivity.

Alternative Sweeteners

If you add sugar to your chai, consider using alternative sweeteners that do not cause a glucose spike.

Monitor and Adjust

Keep track of how your body responds to these foods and adjust your intake or combination of foods as needed to maintain stable glucose levels.
